| http://enough_already.tripod.com/glummer_h2.jpg Some may call it a convenient scapegoat but this vehicle embodies everything that's wrong with American culture and "conserv"ative rationales for waste. With their typically spotless paint and waxed tires it's clear most civilian Hummers aren't bought for utility. They tend to be conveyances for ego and false pride. The few who might consistently need one for large, enclosed loads on extreme terrain are rare. At nearly seven feet wide they can be dangerous on narrow or brushy trails, and don't scratch that paint! Few people would respect a town thief who kept taking more than his share of water from the public well. Getting 11 MPG in what amounts to a passenger car is still legal, but wasting oil is even worse than wasting water, since water can eventually be recycled. Even if you think you can afford $100 per tank of gas, you're on weak moral ground defending such gluttony.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, your types have been whining for years about "just you wait..." Guess what, Ive been waiting, nothing is happening... I think its all a bunch of crap designed to make you feel better about driving around in a fuel efficient tin can. BTW... not a big Hummer fan by any means, the tire cover on the back of my Rover reads "Hummer recovery vehicle". However the point is that there are much worse offenders, what about the old ford pick up that get 3-4 miles to the gallon and belches smoke. Would you rather see more of those?? Maybe some more of those nice smoke puffing diesels?? Those are always fun. Or maybe, better yet, we should all drive 35 mph in a fuel efficient POS. I will continue to drive in a manner that is not fuel efficient, drive off road through trees and over live vegetation. And does anyone else ever notice that the last comeback line any dipshit comes up with about a big truck is "gee, he must have a small wiener..." Maybe everyone who hates these big trucks are all gay and all they can think about it is the dick of the driver.... |

Yup! Pretty impossible to tow a 6000 lb trailer/boat with an electric or hybrid SUV unless you chain four or five of them together to do the pulling. Pretty difficult to drive an electric or hybrid vehicle in 8+ inches of snow unless one waits for the streets to be plowed with diesel snow plows. So who cares if the off-road trails I choose when I go hunting are just a tad over 7' wide. |
