H1's, posers, profanity, etc.....

[Steve R]

I just want to say this for the record:

People who buy H1's (whether previously owning an H2 or not) should NEVER feel like traitors or sell-outs. No joke-line coming here. Seriously....this site (as I see it) is about Hummers and our shared enthusiasm for everything that is Hummer.

To discriminate on the basis of model is as shallow as getting tweaked about which is the better color. Even if orange is disgusting!

Congrats to JSA!!!!! We welcome yet another vehicle to our Hummer family. Put some pics up and take off the flame-proof protective jacket.

Along similar lines: we also talk a lot of offroading here on the site. It seems to me that many members of our site are not particularly big on offroading. Some of these people feel a bit ostracized and excluded...almost as if they aren't worthy in the offroaders eyes.

My own personal thought is that these people bought a badass offroad vehicle without a particular need/use for it's abilities beyond a regular sedan. Maybe they have some internal issues with that, maybe not....but they tend to get an "offroad it OR you're a poser" feeling from the site from time to time. To that, let me say this:

THIS IS AMERICA Since the dawn of time there have undoubtedly been millions of humans who would have given anything to live in this day, this time and this country. Truly, we enjoy an evolved state of technology where we are allowed to live in freedom with almost unlimited opportunity. It is anyones right to buy, own and operate any vehicle they see fit to purchase. We don't just exercise this right....we celebrate it.

And on a final note, let's try to move from the "R" rating back to the spicy PG-13 rating. Let's lose the sexually explicit references and curb the hardcore profanity.....we've kinda slipped past the envelope lately.

Thanks!
