To be honest with you all, there are not many vehicles out there that I can't afford but I refuse to have to dress a certain way or drive up in a particular type of car just to assure sales people that I can afford what they are selling.

So I pulled up in my 2000 maxima and asked one of the salesmen, whom I had to go find, if he could open up the vehicle. The guy took about 15 minutes to go get the keys, I guess he was hoping that I would just leave. After he got to the vehicle he began to talk to me as if I couldn't afford an H2 (this is when they were hot/ 3 months after they hit the showroom floors). This guy had the nerves to ask me, "you do realize that the H2 is almost $60,000?". I politely stepped out of the vehicle and drove off. A couple of weeks later I drove up in my 2001 M5 and asked for this guy. You should have seen the look on his face. By the way I still didn't test drive the H2.

The horsepower increase is 120 HP to 613, torque increase of 110 to 626 ft lbs., faster throttle response, higher RPM's and increased top end speed.

The only disappointment is that I cannot buy my book of prepaid speeding tickets anywhere.

His face went blank and he was speechless. Then I asked if he would like to show me the H2 again. I took my articles back, hopped in my car and drove off.

I'm not really proud of what I done but that's what happened.
