David vs. Goliath

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

I've been passing a used "yellow" kinda "protonish" stock H2 on a Subaru dealer lot on my way home from work...I kinda like it for a 4-door. Still like the VX better as 2-doors are my preference.
Also can't judge it having not driven it. Suspect it would handle like a suburban(or whatever they call'em these days...Yukon XL?) as that is supposed to be the drivetrain for it. I like the looks better than the H1...but we all know the H1 would eat it for breakfast off-road. The H2 I saw close-up at a Pittsburgh Auto Show only disappointed my brother and I with one flaw...they put a full-sized spare in the rear cargo area wasting alot of space....I would throw on a rear tire carrier and free up the cargo area.

One plus is there is a large aftermarket following for the H2...unlike the VX where we got to depend on each other for mods!

I kinda like the H2s. Some of my clients own them so once in a while I get to ride in them.

Here's my little story about David and Goliath.

I was drving through a pretty touristy area of town with lots of shoppers walking around and in the next lane here came a black, tinted-window H2. We paralleled driving for a while and then we stopped at a red light, first in line. People walked across and by us checking out the two distinctive vehicles before them. Funny thing... they slowed down to look at mine, jaws dropped.

Green light came and we went on, stopping at the next intersection, again first in line. Passers-by gawked but this time a group of guys crossing the street yelled to me, "Is that a Vehicross?" I nodded yes and they gave me the thumbs up. THey hardly gave the H2 a glance.

At the green light the H2 gunned forward and sped on his way. I laughed and patted the dash like I was patting my horse's neck after winning a competiton.

When I run errands around town on my lunch break I get the same response....mouths wide open and stares....and that is from the H2 owners as well. I'm averaging about 3 people per week asking, "What is that? Is it something new?" I like all the attention anyway. It's funny to see the reactions. The one I like the most is the one when female drivers will slap the male passenger, point at my VX, and say, "I like that!" Of course I'm reading their lips.
