| subject: | The Hummer is dying... |
RS> RS>> The Chinese deal fell through. RS> RS>> So now that gas-hog piece of crap phony "off-road" RS> EH> in-your-face-status- RS> symbol-on-wheels is on it's way to RS> EH> join the Edsel. RS> RS>> Do I have a personal gripe with them? Damn right I do. RS> RS>> Several times I've nearly been reduced to a red smear while RS> EH> riding my RS> bicycle by those monstrosities. RS> RS>> Yes, I've nearly been run over by other vehicles too, including RS> EH> a couple RS> near-misses by a "smart car." (Or whatever they RS> EH> call that ugly little two- RS> seat car.) RS> RS>> But Hummer drivers that nearly clobbered me always, that is RS>when EH> they even RS> *NOTICE* me, have this "I own this road, RS> EH> trespasser!" attitude. RS> EH> You display class envy at its worst. Only an utter moron would RS> EH> believe a word you say. I'm sure you make a point of pedaling RS> EH> your bike so you will effectively force people to slow down and RS> EH> have to wait for an opening to pass you. There is nothing phony RS> EH> about the Hummer's off-road capabilities. RS>You're simply full of shit. RS>There are a number of videos of people driving Hummers off-road, and RS>breaking the axles. That happens on many off road exercises, regardless of the vehicle type. What is your point ? RS>If I had the money for an off-road vehicle, I'd buy a real off-road RS>vehicle. A Jeep. RS>And blaming me for the times Hummers have run red lights, cut me off RS>in right turns, and turned left right in front of me shows your OWN RS>cluelessness. I was driving home a few minutes ago in my Hummer. A guy in a pick-up truck was in the right lane next to me and made a left turn in front of me. Idiots cut idiots off all of the time, regardless of the vehicle type. RS>And if you read the above again, I also say I've nearly been smeared RS>by reckless inattentive drivers in *OTHER* vehicles also. As have I.
