Hurrah!

[Hummer Aficionado_VT]

So I'm driving down to Manchester, NH today to go to Dobles Hummer so I can take my senior yearbook photo for next year!

Thats right, I'm taking my senior yearbook photo with an H2. Hell, everyone in school (faculty included) all ready knows that I'm a Hummer enthusiast of epic proportions.

Not to brag, but I once got into a heated arguement with my history teacher as to why his Prius is causing more environmental dismay than my eventual H2ever will!

Good boy!! You need to wear an Elcova shirt for your pic.

Wowie!

Just got back to VT. My old man (self-proclaimed pro photographer ) took approx. 50 photos of me with an '07 Victory Red LE, an '07 Twililght Maroon and an '07 Birch White, all H2s. The latter was set up in front of the dealership on some boulders, and I think those photos will look pretty cool.

I'll post some of the better ones once I get 'em uploaded, and then maybe we can have a vote on which is the best.

ANYWAY, the folks at Dobles Hummer in Manchester, NH were very accomodating and made sure that I left with an arm-full of brochures! (Much to my dismay! )

Cool, so I'll get some pics posted later!

Hey!

That is an Orvis watch, thank you very much! Orvis is a VT-born company that has been offering high end clothing and accessories for 150 years!

And, I happen to be employed there.

And, my dad has the Rolex's...

[usetosellhummer]

Your Dad has taste, borrow his watch on photo day next time

[Hummer Aficionado_VT]

Yes, 'borrow'... It is gold though, and I'm more of a silver guy...

But hey, if I play my cards right, it could be in my inheritance someday!

How's that? Hummer require more steel and materials for construction and it uses at least three times as much gas and emits at least three times as much co2. If you're citing the Dust to Dust article, that's now being refuted by peer reviewed studies. The results for this article used arbitrary life terms for both the Hummer (almost 300,000 lifetime miles) and the Prius (just over 100,000 life time miles) vehicles and other methods of analysis are now being called into question. A subsequent peer reviewed re-analysis has cited that the life cycle energy requirements for the Prius hybrid (as well as any small car) are far lower than that of Hummers and SUV's.

most nubees come here on their first post and say" hi, i'm new to the forum, i own or wana own a H-3 & i hope i learn a lot"

u come in and start talking BS WITHOUT REFERENCE MATERIAL...

care to start again

This nubee didn't provide reference material as the OP didn't provide a source for his position. I was assuming he was speaking of the Dust to Dust article, that has since been refuted by peer reviewed data. I should add that I'm not sure why you've a preconception that what I say is BS without having any knowledge of what I reference.

Hummer versus Prius:
“Dust to Dust” Report Misleads the Media and Public with Bad Science

by Peter H. Gleick, May, 2007
The CNW Marketing Research, Inc.’s 2007 “Dust to Dust: The Energy Cost of New Vehicles From Concept to Disposal” caught the interest of the media and the public with its claim that a Hummer H3 SUV has a lower life-cycle energy cost than a Toyota Prius hybrid. Closer inspection suggests that the report’s conclusions rely on faulty methods of analysis, untenable assumptions, selective use and presentation of data, and a complete lack of peer review. Even the most cursory look reveals serious biases and flaws: the average Hummer H1 is assumed to travel 379,000 miles and last for 35 years, while the average Prius is assumed to last only 109,000 miles over less than 12 years. These selective and unsupported assumptions distort the final results. A quick re-analysis with peer-reviewed data leads to completely opposite conclusions: the life-cycle energy requirements of hybrids and smaller cars are far lower than Hummers and other large SUVs. CNW should either release its full report, including methods, assumptions, and data, or the public should ignore its conclusions. Unfortunately, “Dust to Dust” has already distorted the public debate.

Your reference all ready has distorted direction. If you would PLEASE do a few things for me...

1. do you own a HUMMER
2. if you do , what model
3. if you don't currently own a HUMMER but did in the
past, what model was it
4. if you never owned a HUMMER what do you
drive now and WHO paid for it.
5. what organization do you work for
6. who paid you to come on THIS HUMMER FORUM
7. AGAIN PLEASE elaborate on your sources and
reference material


OH YEAH !

Hey I have a pic just like that

The source for the Dust to Dust publication won't release the methodology for the results that they published. But it is known that they've used arbitrary life miles to arrive at their results and so the study is flawed from the get go. And, it matters not which Hummer you consider for life energy. All Hummers require the same approximate quantities of material (from similar sources, I'm sure), have the same limited MPG of 13, and emit nearly 14,000 pounds of co2 each year.

Again, I've no idea to what scientific data the OP is referring to arrive at his conclusions. I just know that this publication is the most wide spread publication regarding same.

Sorry, but use a forged IP and join the banned. Take your fact ignoring agenda-carrying hippy ass somewhere else.
