You have a choice between a Hummer H2 SUT, a Dodge Ram SRT-10 (regular cab) and a Yugo GVX as your daily driver.  You can not sell them or anything like that, which do you choose?

As a daily driver, I'd have to take the Hummer. It still probably gets better mileage than the Ram, and has usable interior space. The Yugo probably gets great mileage, it doesn't use any gas when it gets towed.

SRT-10. I can never picture myself in a Hummer, and the other one... Well, I don't think I need to say I can't picture myself in that.

lmao


I think I'd have to take the SRT-10, as well.  Drive better than the H2 (I assume) and if I needed luggage space I could put a topper on the bed, same goes for hauling people.  And need I mention the Yugo?

Kevin, no one likes to put toppers on the bed of a pickup if they ever actually use it as a pickup.

Deffinatly would have to go for the SRT. I'm not one for trucks or SUV's anyways so the Hummer does appeal to me and... well... the Yugo doesn't have 500hp.

And why is that?  My brother had a topper on the bed of his '95 Silverado and it worked great, he kept all of his tools for work in there and he took his truck off-road a lot too.

But you can't haul things over two or three feet tall if you have a topper. I'm talking about a tonneau cover by the way, not a camper shell.

I get that, but you said "if they actually ever use it as a pickup", and theres more to a pickup than just being able to haul tall things.

In my opinion, it's one of the most important things about having a pickup. If I didn't want to haul tall things, buy an SUV.

The Yugo, so I can drive it until it dies(which won't be a long time).

There was a Yugo in running condition in the local classifieds like a year ago for $600 and I was so tempted to buy it. Just so I could say that I had owned and driven one of the most infamously crappy automobiles of all time.

That makes no since (at least not to me).
