You are an idiot.

Hogwash.

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

The H2 and H3 are built on 2 GMC chassis that are quite capable of off-road use.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

The Jeep bears little resemblance to its military counterpart. I can find
as many or more videos of people breaking axles and other parts of Jeeps
driving them off-road.

 RS> And blaming me for the times Hummers have run red lights, cut me off in

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Again, you are an idiot. Hummer drivers are no more apt to do that than any
other driver.

Sure, you mention the Smart car, but only as an afterthought.

 RS> (Although is one of those "smart cars" hit me, I think it
would be the

You are delusional.

 RS> You have a bicycle?

No, I haven't had one for years.

 RS> Ride it for a while.
 RS> You'll notice what I mention *REALLY* quickly.

I've witnessed what you have claimed, but few if any of the motor vehicles
involved were Hummers.

 EH>> Sure, the Hummer is going to die, but not because of anything wrong

 RS> The US government *FORCED* GM to sell the brand name?

Yes, it was part of their reorganization plan.

 RS> If you actually believe that, I've got Florida swampland for sale.

You haven't been paying attention, moron.

 RS> GM wanted to sell because Hummers are simply *NOT* selling.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Only an idiot would make that claim. The are still selling rather well.
Plus, the GMC and Chevrolet vehicles sharing the two chassis with Hummer
are still selling as well.

So what?

 RS> Not as bad as $4 a gallon, but still bad.

Again, so what?

I replied because you are a moron.

Obama and the

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

You have nothing to oppose, moron. You haven't thought for yourself in ages.
