Also those of you who attack SUV's for harming the Earth and global warming should turn your attention to an even worse target. Livestock that fart and burp cause just as much damage to the environment as SUV's do. Should we outlaw and kill all our livestock?

actually, want to attack something, then attack the green cars, the ones that take batteries. the batteries require nickle mined from a mine in canada, and the strip mining there causes so much damage that a hummer would have to run for 15-20 years before it caused as much damage as the green car does even before it leaves the dealership lot.

Great point. These people who consider themselves lovers of the environment attack things because them seem oblivious. They do little to no research because they are lazy or might not like what they find. As you have said these people who act all high and mighty because they drive a Prius really have no basis for their arrogance.

Air bags, might help keep you're head from hitting the windsheild, but that really doesnt mean much when you're windshield is in the back seat! Oh and by the way the suvs that roll over are the little econo rigs that you would prefer. An H1 is 86 inches wide with a track width of about 71 inches, you have to try really hard to roll one, I have.
Just another ridiculous post by an SUV lover - boasting that they will kill us sane folks in our cars in the case of a collision... here's that right-wing extremist anger that has DHS so concerned about...

Oh well - I've always maintained that those who buy SUVs are one short of a six-pack...

Uh, yeah, ok bob, anybody that wants to go back and read our post can clearly see you should not indulge while using the computer. I personally do not tell anyone what they should drive.

Green Car Congress: GM Cancels the HUMMER H1
You might be interested to know that the Hummer is the most popular car in Iraq.

GM is now swithching from a "market driven" product line, to a product line being dictated not by consumer desires by by government mandate.

What this means to us, as consumers, is the death of cars we want. If you like driving with your knees on your chin, and no room for groceries or the camping gear or the kids, you'll love what's coming. For most Americans, that's unacceptable; but that's all we'll have. Government will be determining what we drive from now on.

Thank Obama.

This administration represents the death of America as we have known it.

And you think the "Tea Parties" are just about taxes? Guess again.

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Persuit of Happiness — That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying it's Foundation on such Principles and organizing it's Powers in such Form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

That is what our Declaration of Independence says.
