And to top it off this was the annual work party weekend at our
wilderness airstrip about 40 SE of Kalispell. I am this close to
selling my 182 and buying an S35 Bonanza that was there. I am looking
at some performance numbers now and if the Bo doesn't give away too much
short field performance I am going to buy it.

IMHO the H1 Hummer looks good but the H2 does not.

I just realized that my Skylane gets about the same gas mileage as a
Hummer.
I burn about 13gal per hour and go about 130 knots... 10nm per gallon, or
11.5 miles per gallon. Now granted I am going in a straight line, and 3
times as fast, but still that is awful mileage. Now my old Cessna 140
did
a lot better, 105mph at 5gph... more like about 20 miles per gallon.

But the 182 looks good while converting all that money to noise. The
Hummer is a god awful looking contraption. More befitting a low wing
driver.
