10 Worst cars of '07, or...
A complete waste of 5 minutes of my life I will never get back. I understand the need to spice up the written word. But this guy never even seems to have one sentence without over compensating with witty junior high school smack for the lack of depth in this story. Even though i do agree with most of his comments, less the dear H2, if there is a journalistic license, his needs to be revoked.
http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/?p=6163
7. Hummer H2 - According to its detractors, the H2 represents everything that?s wrong with SUVs. We agree. The H2?s immense charisma has vanished as quickly as hopes for rapid fire nation building you-know-where. All that's left (automotively speaking) is a huge, slow, thirsty, ungainly five-year-old truck based on an eight-year-old platform. Sure, the H2 is great off road? as long it?s a double wide path. Meanwhile, you might as wear a freshly-bludgeoned baby seal as drive this big rig. How great is that? - JB
6. Hummer H3 - The H3 is a 4700lbs. truck with a 220 horsepower five-cylinder engine. For those of you who don?t count rivets for fun, the H2?s baby brother is thirstier than Lindsay Lohan fresh out of rehab, slower than continental drift and rougher than Class VI rapids. Its gangsta style portals severely limit visibility and the back seat is adult aversive. Hell, it?s not even available in Jackass Yellow. No, you take it off-road. I?m buying a Cherokee. - JB

And how the hell can they still get by with calling it a Cherokee. WE get bitched at for our styling and basically everything else. But they can name a car after a tribe. I don't think that is politically correct at all. What 2 face, ****ers.

Re: 10 Worst cars of '07, or...
I just don't get these anti Hummer douche bags. I was watching CNBC today and one of the idiot commentators said it angers him every time he sees a Hummer driving down the street. The other anchor called his ass on this comment saying " wait a minute Bill, don't you drive a Suburban? ". He had this puzzled look on his face and said " They are not the same. Hummer owners are irresponsible, and are using up the worlds oil supply". Incredible drivel!

I agree, people don't take into account that there are vehicles out there that get way worse mpg than a Hummer. Its just that Hummer name got stuck with the stigma that now society sees as a non-caring group of anti- environmentalist. I get the same or better mpg than alot of friend's full size trucks, but yet people always have a smart-a$$ remark to make about my Hummer and fuel cost. I always feel like saying STFU...Its coming outta my pocket.

Like a JEEP Grand Cherokee SRT-8? 11.5 MPG. But, I gotta admit, 0-60 in 4.4 is hellafun.

I know a guy near my house that just bought an 08 F-150 AWD Harley Davidson truck. He is getting 12 out of 1/2 ton pickup.

Re: 10 Worst cars of '07, or...
I get 11 out of a 5.3 Silverado. Just a bunch of fags. I love the must have a small penis line. From my experience having a big penis makes you want to show it off. Back in College I remember a Fraternity Bro that put it on a guys shoulder while we were watching a game. He was doing well for himself. He Drives a Vette. Now if I wanted to put it on someones shoulder it would have to be a Ken Doll. LOL. Having an H2 is a way to say look at my fat wallet bitch.

I hit a deer in my work truck over the weekend, so I used my h2. I got almost 14 mpg om the 150 miles trip. All highway. I thought that was outstanding.

Re: 10 Worst cars of '07, or...
You know when I read crap like that it makes me want to choke the a$$ that wrote it. What is the value in what they wrote? I've got the H2 and a Trailblazer LT, both are great vehicles.
Is the Hummer a gas hog...sure it is, but one of my buddies gets worse mileage out of his Durango!
The Hummer gets busted on since it is different, it sticks out, its easy to spot. I would suspect that most tree huggers couldnt tell the difference between a Tahoe and an Expedition to save their a$$! But since nothing else looks like a Hummer its the one thats picked on.
Its been my experience that Hummer owners and outdoorsman/women are more concerned about the environment than the environmental wackos!

case in point....one of my agents is pretty high up in the Syria Shrine here in town, the shrine always brings a circus to town which we always go to. Well last year, there was a group of activists protesting the circus and animal cruelty and all this and that....which is fine, its a free country....BUT...my wife points out....look, they are wearing leather shoes and jackets....which last time I checked can only be made with the demise of an animal.....they just dont know what the hell they are doing do they....
