You're simply full of shit.
There are a number of videos of people driving Hummers off-road, and
breaking the axles.

The Hummer bears little true resemblance to it's military counterpart.

If I had the money for an off-road vehicle, I'd buy a real off-road
vehicle. A Jeep.

And blaming me for the times Hummers have run red lights, cut me off in
right turns, and turned left right in front of me shows your OWN
cluelessness.

And if you read the above again, I also say I've nearly been smeared by
reckless inattentive drivers in *OTHER* vehicles also.

(Although is one of those "smart cars" hit me, I think it would be the
one that would lose.) 

You have a bicycle?
Ride it for a while.
You'll notice what I mention *REALLY* quickly.

The US government *FORCED* GM to sell the brand name?
If you actually believe that, I've got Florida swampland for sale.

GM wanted to sell because Hummers are simply *NOT* selling.
According to the news, by this summer, the price of gas will be up
around $3 a gallon.
Not as bad as $4 a gallon, but still bad.

Face it Ed, the only reason you wrote the above is because I wrote the
original post.
And like your "Party of no," it's your duty to oppose me, Obama and the
democrats, no matter what.
