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.
