Just saw a story on the Hummer H2 which was very interesting.
It has a gulf war lead-in with some military Hum-Vees doing their thing. Then shows a short interview with a person test driving the Hummer and they had an on-board camera filming the test drive.
Short dealer interview stating that "this was a high end vehicle and they were a little concerened" about selling the Hummers. But as he stated, the dealers are suprised a sales.
Most interesting thing to me is the Survey results which they revealed.
The average buyer of the Hummer H2 is:
1. MALE (sorry hummergirl)
2. 41 years of age (exactly my age)
3. Makes $215,000.00 a year.
Best quote from the spot "Success has silenced the critics"................no kidding? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
Any thoughts or anyone else seen the spot? I am currently searching CNN.com for the video. If I can see it, I can download it. No luck yet. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif[/img]

Very interesting stats on the buyers of the H2. In particular is the average income...I suspect it may be tainted much the like of peoples recorded weight on the drivers licenses. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Good point MAC. Having given some thought to the issue, I feel I've generated a solid determining factor which can deliniate between a males 'manliness'. While it was a toss-up between the frequency of bathing, ability to consume beer and the incorpotation of excessive foul-language in daily speech....I've settled on one crowning factor:
Familiarity and ability to use power tools AND ease with which he can negotiate his way through Home Depot in various departments without help.
We hold these truths to be self-evident. Lord I'm in desperate need of therapy....and you guys intend to follow me into the wilderness?
Is this stuff really posted for the whole world to see???? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Not true for me here. I'm all girl, but when I drive my Hummer, instead of being 5'5" and 120, I'm 6'2" and 225. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
I'm a total tomboy. I'll play any of you boys at your own game and probably beat you at it. No hard feelings here Mac...from one "mac" to another. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

Back up the Turnip Truck, cause a couple just fell off...
I have you know I spend $150 bucks a month on just hair and nails alone. Not to mention all the cash that goes to a massage every week.
Phew...it's a hard life living here on our lavish lakehouse spending all hubby's 450K a year salary.
Just because a female drives a Hummer does not automatically make her a Tomboy. Just because I am from Georgia does not automatically make me some redneck. Maybe because I am a Respiratory Therapist I actually like to get out and hike/bike/run/walk in nature rather than a stuffy gym to keep this girlie girl in shape after taking care of LAZY FAT A$$ Folks in the Cardiac Care Unit.
So ask your gardener to pick the thorns outta your A$$ and get a better attitude.
You come across as Thurston Howell.

Tainted? But skewed which way?
1. Male
2. 31
3. Hard to determine

So is MAC really gone??? He was by far the leader in posts on the forum. I was eagerly awaiting his 500th post to have some type of party or something...

Mac has apparently never met a real Georgia Peach.

My wife was a tomboy, so her classmates claimed during her reunions. Said she used to chase and beat up some tough guys. Hard to imagine that, but she's quite proud of that. Tomboys are cute and sexy, I think.

No Mac I don't think you quite understand the post...it was merely a reflection of your usual arrogant postings. Gee let's see you often remind us daily or weekly so we won't forget....
1. you live in high $$ N. California where you live in a strict covenent environment and no one even knows their neigbors.
2. you have a gardener
3. you battle your day in tough corporate board rooms...yawn..
4. it is beneath you to wave at anyone in your H2
5. anything other than leather just won't do
6. and it's just too hard to keep all those cars you own cranked at least once a week.
On more than one occasion in your posts you have referred to me as a tomboy or Dike and I am sick and tired of being categorized as one when it was totally uncalled for. Your generalized assumptions really sum up my idea of what folks out in Corporate California are like.
You have attacked me from the moment I stepped on this forum trying to belittle my postings or get a step up on them cause I am female and drive an H2. Sorry, I have a brain and it likes to be challenged in many ways through braun or hard work and that does not make me a Tomboy.
sorry for being so "slow"...I've been busy takin' my h2 for some off-roading during my holiday.

I hear there is another Forum out there, which is published once a month quite some years now. The posts/letters always start with: "Dear Forum". And there are some nice pictures in there too, especially in the center. Might remind some of us of the air vents in our H2. And forget cracked transmissions...

sometimes people freak-out when you hold a mirror upto them. Maybe he's hanging out with Wes? There's a lesson to be learned here...estrogen & Hummers make for a very powerful combination!! (Don't 'dis' the ladies).
He really had a gardener??

Whoaaaaaaaaaaa Mac, I think you just got yer ass virtually kicked. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img] That'll teach you to try and put us Hummer chicks in a box. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
I don't know, Hummergrrrrl, I think posts like yours rock but I'm not sure they help your girlie-girl image. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] I don't think there's anything wrong with being a tomboy myself, although like you, I don't think I qualify. I hit the weights at Gold's, used to do triathlons,
obviously like to drive big rigs, but I also have a shoe fetish, a pink surfboard with matching bikini, and regularly paint my toenails.
I've read about a dozen different theories on the "type" of woman that buys an H2, from the weenie female driver who just wants to feel "safe" to the soccer mom who is tired of homogeny, to the tomboy with penis envy. While there may be isolated examples of all of these "types", in truth I don't think you can classify us at all except to say that we have impeccable taste in automobiles.

Let's back up a moment here....MAC has a gardener?
I've gone through a 'flame-war' on another list...it's just not a good thing. It would be a good idea for people to post their email addresses so that they can take 'issues' offlist in order to resolve them outside the forum.
I really don't think MAC meant to hurt anyone, but I'll be honest; he's not going to be writing cards for Hallmark.
I tend to re-read my post before I click on the button to send them on their way, the forum is only fun when everybody enjoys it. Humor can often be misinterpreted, and humor aside...people often say things that are a bit harsh. Let's keep it friendly. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
