Default Re: THE OFFICIAL HUMMER AND BABE PICTURE THREAD! (no nudity please)

if the hummer were ONLY sold to offroading enthusiast, the truck would get much worse mpg than it does now. you cant say that because someone put 30's on their hummer that they are the reason a whole cars existance is gone. thats has to be the most idiotic thing i have ever heard of. theres alot of things that the hummer got away with that other suv's and trucks didnt get away with. you need to do more research on the actual reasoning the hummer is gone and the actual perks the hummers got when they were created. theres a whole section your missing. and blaming anyone for customizing a car IS NOT the reason a car is dead or getting a bad wrap for gas mileage. the reason it gets a bad wrap is because its a 8k lbs brick with larger than average offroad tires that was branded under GM. CAFE rules and restrictions put this car to rest. it will also put many more cars to rest in the years to come. dodge gets away with things with the ram, because it is no longer a dodge product. certain amounts of units have to be sold to have certain regulations. dodge sells just under those regulations, so they dont have to pay certain fees, or regquire certain MPG's. theres alot of politics going on with this. just do some more research and youll find out the truth.
