Hummmmmer....I always thought it was a sexual act!

it IS a sexual act - This is the military we're talking about. God knows what they'd call a vehicle with the acronym BLWJB (Probably the Clinton, I'm guessing)
I realize I am coming to the party late, but what reminds me that most people who buy these things (and other giant SUV's) are complete idiots is that I have seen lots of people slow to a crawl to go over the ridge at the end of road construction. You can drive a car that can go over a 50% incline, but you are scared of a 3/4" bump in the road?

You know, cf, I'm really sorry about that. I just had a bad moment and took it out on you in a post that was idiotic and mean-spirited and I'm sorry. I know my apology won't matter to you but I wanted to say it anyway, because I am sorry, and now I'm completely done with this thread.

Oh dear jeasus, I am sooo sorry Libel. I have been so wrong with my self centered one-way-street posts. I ask all of the archinect club to forgive me of my sinful ways and accept this heart felt apology. I know if you forgive me it will help me with my redemption.
Also I am sorry for all the starving pygmies in New Guinea.

i'm glad i helped incite a riot
and cf, rim j - we wouldnt go this long without ya.
but its hard to explain as to why so many people are concerned with this "hummer" biz.
heres a crack:
operative word above mentioned gents: "concerned". not "care". two different meanings.
if they/we "cared" to the point that you're suggesting about this hummer's effects on the already mentioned, we'd be out protesting at gm factories and outside GM dealerships. but we're concerned, meaning that we're aware of it and have thoughts, ideas and opinions on it, not on some thou shalt be deemed to hell tip- condemning H2 owners without being asked what what it is that we think on hummers.
guys look - you want to get on us because we put our opinion out on how this machine concerns us and we're in a discussion that involves spitting your opinion, dealing with feedback, which we do- and thats why youre hearing it. i see faultiness in an attack based on the childish retort of "why do you care" as a precept - f*ck it - as your main argument- its just not enough. i mean- thats like saying "hey bob, what do you think about this?" and as bob answers, you interrupt and say "well why should you care bob? i dont care what people think". counter with reasons that oppose our facts/opinions, dont just run the whole "i'm cooler than thou because i dont care what people think about me" - its hogwash in a place where opinions are EXPECTED to be expressed.
uhm - did you not just ask? (and not "you" persay- the collective of what the forum has asked)
come on- seriously - why come on the board on that tip? i gave my thoughts as did most of us as to why we think its an obnoxious gesture to use a tank to drive through the suburbs. thats that - your take? "why do you care"...
well heres the answer - why the hell not?

i'm not crazy about the machine, but i'm not going to make my chihuahua pee on your h1's hood. thats just maniacal. fanaticism.

What you want to do if you want to really make the statement is ditch the H2 and find a used H1. Strip the catalytic converters, the air cleaners, space out the pipes, paint it flat, primer black with a red FUCK YOU spraypainted across the side of it, get it on some huge miltary spec tires with dead baby harp seals bolted to the rims, fit it out with enough rebar to intimidate an elephant and go crashing it through a suburban mall parking lot while basting Black Flag over the stereo. Throw in an S&M dungeon in the back for added effect. Peace, love and harmony everybody.

thought he was joking too... or playing devil's advocate at least.
While viewing the pics on the site I posted above, I was just reminded of a horrible story where a high school girl who rented a Hummer Limo with some friends for prom night was run over and dragged by the vehicle -- ripping her leg off and some of her hip. The vehicle was so huge the driver couldn't see her, was so loud he couldn't hear her screaming, was too big to be troubled by the delicate body it was dragging. I can't believe I still see these hummer limos around town, being rented for happy occasions. I think I need a moment to myself now to ponder life.

The last true hippy I saw came riding into town in a VW bug, early 60's model. The drivers seat was a wooden kitchen chair with the legs cut low. He drove into the gas station, secured the flower in his hair as the wind tossled his long curly hair, and asked the attendant if he would like to buy the VW, $1.00. The attendant asked him where he was going. "Man, I'm on a trip."

Will you be too embarrased to be seen in it?
A friend of mine just bought this "fusion orange" colored Hummer H2. I know it's stupid, but I'm tempted... I mean, the color is great.
Hummmmmer....I always thought it was a sexual act!
it IS a sexual act - This is the military we're talking about. God knows what they'd call a vehicle with the acronym BLWJB (Probably the Clinton, I'm guessing)
I realize I am coming to the party late, but what reminds me that most people who buy these things (and other giant SUV's) are complete idiots is that I have seen lots of people slow to a crawl to go over the ridge at the end of road construction. You can drive a car that can go over a 50% incline, but you are scared of a 3/4" bump in the road?
