I came to loathe my Range Rover, even in Colorado. Damned thing
weighed 3 tons and went through brake pads every 6 months and tires
every 20,000 miles. It was a maintenance nightmare. And a Hummer has
to be even worse. It's heavier. And winters in most of Colorado are
fairly benign unless you're at altitude. Even then, there are only a
few days out of the year that would find you stuck without one of
these land monsters - and even with 'em. You can't guide even a Hummer
or Range Rover on ice. Think Rabbit Ear Pass on the way to Steamboat
Springs...
