I may be putting myself out there (and exposing my own ecopolitic as well) when I say I for one will be glad if and when those guzzling dinosaurs die.

Cool. I'll chip in an ten spot.

GM doesn't want Hummers?

Apparently it's just not cost efficient for them anymore.

edit: In retrospect, my reply was not funny.

Taken together I think they're pretty funny, myself. :-)

As a military vehicle, the Hummer made sense. As a civilian behemoth, not so much.

I wonder how well the H2 works as a battlefield transport.

Have you seen the new prototypes that they are making for the new Hummers?

They look just like Warthogs off of Halo, have a v-6 engine and get 20 something miles to the gallon and more resemble a military vehicle.

If they change their image and inefficient ways, it might be a sound investment for an automobile manufacturer to buy.

They've been trying to sell it for a while, but there's been no buyers. I hope the other gas guzzlers are noting this, as I see quite a few Cadillac Escalades around town, and it makes me sick. It's a size of an RV, for crying out loud.

Ah yes, the Cadillac Escalade. A vehicle that combines the fuel efficiency of an oil-field fire with the handling of a Best Western.

(Paraphrased from "Achewood.")

You know what annoys me? The Lincoln Navigator. Those things are just stupidly big. I swear, it makes me reach for an anti-tank weapon.

Oh, the irony. The post below yours on my Flist has an icon of Dr. Seuss' Horton the Elephant. He's white.

Oh the irony.

And dude, who the hell would want to buy a car that gets two miles to the gallon. My lawn mower is more efficient.

AND mows the lawn. That's two advantages right there.

Hummer vs. lawnmower

Yes, but you can't put 30 inch chrome spinning rims on a lawn mower!
