??? Did we just watch the same movie? I'm pretty sure that H2 dropped down a 10" tall boulder and the tie-rods broke! I don't care if my grandma was driving that thing, it shouldn't have failed. I'm not saying the driver isn't an idiot, I'm just saying the suspension components on that bohemoth aren't strong enough for its weight. The suspension for an "off-road" vehicle should be able to take the weight of the entire vehicle at odd angles for at least a temporary amount of time. How much you wanna bet if you tried lift the front of the H2 with one tire as in the new Rubicon commercial, it'd break itself?

Simply put, if a 10" drop can break a tie-rod, then the H2 shouldn't be driven anywhere except to and from the grocery store... which not coincidentally is where 99% of those stupid school busses are driven.
