So a detective's mighty Hummer gets stuck in the snow in the middle of a mass snowball fight during which he and his car gets pelted by snowballs. Natural in retaliation he pulls out a gun tells the crowd he is a detective. Asshole.

From US News & World Report:

Hummer H3
Through 2008, no brand of automobile suffered a greater drop off in sales than GM's SUV -only brand. GM promised to sell or cancel the brand when the company asked Congress for federal aid last year, but by that time, GM executives had already spent months looking fruitlessly for a buyer. Consequently, Hummer will probably be eliminated outright in 2009.

GREAT GAME!

2009-01-19T16:59:00Z

I liev in Jersey and there are A LOT of hummers around here. It's south jersey, so the yuppie population is booming. You'd be surprised at how many of them still sport a "W" sticker. (Yes, people still have these) Anyway, I've been playing a little game with myself wehen I walk into a wawa (convenience store) and there's a hummer in the parking lot. You walk in, and try and guess which person is driving the hummer. It's almost always hilarious. It's not necessarily a hard game to play, but fun none the less.

I'll give you a hint.....It's the biggest douchebag in the place.

happy hunting!

Parked Hummers - what to do

2008-12-03T21:09:02Z

Whenever I see a parked hummer, I find a piece of paper and write a short note:

I hate your URBAN ASSAULT VEHICLE. You are destroying our planet.

I don't know if it does make them think, but it sure makes me feel better.

Does it cost $100 to fill up your hummer? I'm friggin' laughing.....

2008-07-22T01:54:12Z

for all those individuals who are running around in a hummer, I'm just wondering- have you paid over $100 to fill your tank yet?

How does that feel? Knowing that if you use your beast as a commuter that you are now paying a fraction of the actually true cost of your vehicles impact on the environment........

Hummers aren't the worse

2008-06-01T06:53:06Z

you guys are so ignorant blaming on the global warming and crap on hummers. for one hummers don't have the worst fuel efficiency, the have the same as most of the full size trucks and suv's you see with v8 engines. The hummers have the same engine as most of the general motors trucks you see,. Why dont you make another dumba$$ topic about ford exursions or chevy tahoes or any other suv? they are all just as bad if not worse. People just think hummers have the worse fuel econmomy because they appear to be the biggest. How about you let people drive whatever they want and stop bi!ching about it

Letter from Congressman Defazio (from Oregon)

2008-02-17T03:24:18Z

I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on my recent votes regarding our nation's energy policy.

In early December 2007, I voted in favor of a comprehensive version of H.R. 6, the Renewable Fuels, Consumer Protection, and Energy Efficiency Act of 2007, because it invested in clean renewable energy, conservation, and efficiency, and it repealed unnecessary subsidies for the oil and gas industries. Our nation and our planet can no longer afford the dig, drill, build, and burn energy policy of the President and his allies in Congress. The bill was approved by the House of Representatives on December 6, 2007 by a vote of 235 - 181.

H.R. 6 included many widely accepted incentives and some very bold and essential policy changes. The widely accepted initiatives include expanded production of renewable fuels; enhanced energy efficiency standards for appliances; energy efficiency improvements for small businesses; research into solar, geothermal, and ocean energy; greater incentives to improve the energy efficiency of government and private sector buildings; and the export of clean energy technologies to polluting countries like China and India.

Unfortunately, the Senate and the President objected to many of the bolder changes such as a 15 percent national renewable electricity standard (RES) and the elimination of over $20 billion in tax loopholes for oil and gas companies, who are bloated with extravagant profits from $100-barrel oil revenues.

The RES is a market-based mechanism that would have required electric utilities to use renewable energy to generate 15% of their electricity or to purchase renewable energy credits from others to meet this standard by 2020. The RES provisions in H.R. 6 would have resulted in a reduction in global warming emissions by 84-126 million metric tons per year by 2020 (equivalent to taking 10 million - 15 million vehicles off the road). And these standards would have saved consumers $13-18 billion in cumulative consumer savings by 2020.

Very important to Oregon, I led the effort to ensure that H.R. 6 contained provisions that would have reauthorized the Secure Rural Schools program for four years, and would have fully funded the payments-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILT) program for one year. More than 780 counties in 42 states benefit from Secure Rural Schools, and nearly every county in 49 states receives PILT payments: without them, our counties will have to close libraries, lay off county employees, eliminate mental health services, cut search and rescue teams, curtail sheriffs patrols, release prisoners from jails, and in at least one case, perhaps even declare bankruptcy and give up their county status. Unfortunately, this provision was stripped out because it was attached to the rollback of oil and gas company subsidies. The idea that subsidies to Exxon Mobil are more important than county payments is an insult to Oregonians.

However, I am pleased to report that an historic bi-partisan agreement to raise fueleconomy standards for cars and trucks was agreed upon by environmentalists, labor, and the automobile industry. The price at the pump spurred Congress to increase the fuel economy standard to 35 miles per gallon in 2020 for new cars and trucks. This will save American families $700 - $1000 per year at the pump, with $22 billion in net consumer savings in 2020 alone. Importantly, these provisions will reduce oil consumption by 1.1 million barrels per day in 2020 (one-half of what we currently import from the Persian Gulf), and reduced greenhouse gases equal to taking 28 million of today's average cars and trucks off the road. This is the first increase in the fuel economy standard by Congress since 1975 - marking a significant advancement in our efforts to address our energy security.

I ultimately voted against the final version of H.R. 6 because on balance the bill lacked a strong mandate for renewables, failed to eliminate oil and gas subsidies, and did not reauthorize the Secure Rural Schools program. While increasing CAFE standards is important, the legislation simply did not go far enough in addressing our country's energy needs and dependence on foreign oil. We could have - and should have - done more.

You can be sure that I will continue my efforts to develop a sustainable energy policy, that combats global warming, reduces our dependence on foreign oil, and protects consumers from outrageous energy costs.

Sincerely,
Rep. Peter DeFazio
Fourth District, OREGON

Kick tony out Yes or No. Your vote counts!

2007-11-03T08:52:57Z

Tony is a chode; this much is true. He's also quite antagonistic. So why let him stay? Well, I'm not sure; he DOES lose every argument - probably a point in his favor. He can also serve as a reminder to us all that we won't convert everybody. Some people just don't get it and never will; some have some resentment they can't get past. Maybe it's a combination.

So I'm leaving tony's fate to a tribe vote. Yes or no - winner take all.

I have been letting him stay mainly because it was such a long road for me to get where I am. I used to have a job that required a truck, I have restored an old 69 Toyota Land cruiser that was the coolest thing ever - AND it could pass California emissions standards thanks to the engine rebuild. I used to eat at Taco Bell every day - I just didn't know any better, I believed that a chicken taco was a healthy thing to eat. I was also running an average of 270lbs.

Today, I eat some fish, even less chicken (even then it's organic) and virtually NO dairy. When I trade my current car in I'm hoping to get the new Honda Civic - It's a hybrid and runs on natural gas as well. I spend too much time driving and I feel I have a responsibility to leave as light a footprint as I can. I'm an avid cyclist - www.midnightridazz.com - I recycle even when I have to make an effort to do so. I buy those reusable cloth shopping bags and use them when I remember.

One thing I admire about the people I see posting here is they have a concern outside themselves. I didn't just chage overnight, I modeled myself after people who had what I wanted, who lived in a way that I would be proud to live. The main reason I don't chuck him: my hatred of censorship. I hate it on TV, in the newspapers, even on Tribe. He's the minority voice but it's not HIM I'm protecting. I feel as though I'm looking out for the person who maybe wants to do more but is afraid they will be harassed for not going far enough. 7 years ago, I could have never envisioned myself having some of the beliefs I do today.

As a nemesis he's weak. When Vendetta joined this tribe (I invited an entire tribe of Hummer enthusiasts - she was the only one with the balls to show up) she was up to the task. She was smart, hilarious and she was a multi dimensional person who often stood with the people in this tribe on the big issues. Tony is just a punk, a coward hiding behind a one tribe alt, but he's contributing by flaming, which often leads to intelligent responses. Too bad he can't participate.

I started this tribe in fun; I had no idea this woud be a place where I could find thoughtful environmental discussion and links to sites where more info was available. I'm all for bringing the pain on the idiots of the world and we need to keep doing that. In my estimation, tony does HIS cause more harm than good just by being "itself". I think this could be a nice place for people to learn more about important issues while having a good time. Taking ourselves too seriously is just playing to the tonys of the world.

I vote to keep him...for now - Maybe later I'll boot him as a Valentines Day present to you guys!

Kick the asshole: 0
Keep the asshole: 1

"The Gift of the Turbi", a (post) holiday classic

2007-02-26T06:06:34Z

There was a man, a young man of good heart and character, and he had a bus that he loved. The bus was the shiny yellow and black apple of his eye, and their love was complete. He veritably lived inside of her, caressing her ample bumpers and buying her all manners of distilled waters and fancy spray paints.

And she loved him too; she loved him as strongly as a bus could love a man, that tall (10 feet) long legged (35 feet) 19,000 lb lady from Hayward, and things were good.

She was a comely bus, old fashioned values and smog, and was blessed by the lord with the gift of turbo, a lovely tress of curly cast iron that adorned her intake manifiold like a jewel in a Princess' tiara. It was their pride and her joy.

And the man also possessed one thing of great sentimental and personal value: a classic turbo boost sphygomometer given to him by his grandfather, a toxic filled graduated glass and brass mercury tube of wonderful complexity that he would lovingly plumb into his beloved when he wanted to see her smile. On sundays they would go to the park and he would gently lift her covers one by one, and there they would sit, whiling away the hours in the joy that only lovers share.

The couple was poor, and didn't drink the finest Rotella, nor could afford Michelins on the table except during special occasions. And then one year, the Saint Valentine's Day holiday approached, and they were both left in a quandary, how could this poor bus and man properly show their love on this special occasion?

Finally February 14th arrived, and after a hard day at the yard, the man came home to find his beloved bride sitting, parked near the one ton, behind the trailer, near the stack of pallets where he stored the brake drums and the power steering pumps, with tears/condensation in her headlights, but still shining the most lumenous of glows towards her chosen seat taker. And the man excitedly approached her, cleverly concealing a package from his beloved's low beams.

(break for commercial)

(Scene returns to idyllic backyard full of bus parts and Japanese and American pickups)

"Look my dear" he cried, "I have the finest of gifts for the bus that has been my veritable foundation of transportation for so many wonderful years." And from under his cloak, he produced a box. And there, inside the box was a lovely air heat exchanger from Cummins in Paris, painted beautiful flat black and glowing with a non reflective dullness that shone like the night. (with all necessary connectors and fasteners, and a roll of pink teflon tape)

"Oh my Goodness", she screamed in joy, "how could you ever have brought to me such a precious and costly gift my love?" She began to sigh, and with tears now welling up in her turn signals, she said "We are but a poor couple, rich in maintenance but with a limited parts budget..."

"Well" he replied, "my love for you springs internal, just like your fuel lines, and I confess I sold the turbo boost gage to get the lovely part. but it is OK, we can do it by ear my sweet, love can conquer any vaccuum problem."

And then he spotted a splendidly wrapped box sitting on the dash. "Is that for me my love?" he asked. "A gift from the bus whose broad hips and leaf spring suspension has seen me thru my longest travels and darkest hours... I can't wait to open it!"

And then he carefully separated the twine, and removed the paper, and gently lifted the lid off the box. And there inside was a 3/16" thru 7/8" SAE and metric adapter set for classic sphygamometers, lovingly hand chromed from Taiwan.

And then tears began to well up in his eyes, as we walked, slowly, to the side (driver's side, door behind the radiator door) of his beloved, and lifted her skirts gently for the thousandth time.

For he knew the truth already..... ... . . . there in place of her lovely turbo was a simple metal plate, her chestnut colored curl now nothing more than a 5 X 8 piece of aluminum or cast or pot metal or something, (it had paint on it) and her flowing manifolds had been shorn to the scalp.

And as they looked at each other, and felt the love and tender mercies that only a long time committed driver and machine can hold dear, and nurture thru the years,-- there was peace, and then they drove, hand in wheel, down to Flying J for a quiet, intimate fill.

And life was good, and love had flourished and flew and soared for a brief minute on God's Green Earth.

Just a Question...

2007-01-26T06:27:12Z

Hey, guys,

I've been wondering something for a while now... what is the deal with "keying" somebody's vehicle just because you don't like it. While I don't agree with it, I can at least wrap my head around keying somebody's car that you know and don't like. It dosn't seem very logical to base that sort of hatred on the type of car someone drives.

I'm not here to start a fight or anything, I've just had problems with this and cannot figure it out.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Algae-filled Hummer wins 'green car' contest

2006-12-10T03:03:29Z

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -- In the corporate imagination of General Motors, Hummer could be transformed from the SUV that environmentalists love to hate to an algae-infused, oxygen-exuding buggy that would open up like a flower.

GM's sketch for the "Hummer O2" was named the winner on Thursday, Nov. 30, of a design contest at the Los Angeles auto show that challenged major automakers to design a vehicle with a five-year life span that could be fully recycled.

The GM vision for the futuristic Hummer concept includes an algae-filled body shell, designed to shed oxygen, that also opens up like leaves on a stem to catch sunlight when parked.

The concept sketch, which was produced by GM's West Coast Advanced Design Studio, shows the Hummer riding on an aluminum shell and powered by a hydrogen tank and fuel cells.

"This design team said, 'We've done hybrids. We're doing fuel cells. What's the next step that actually improves the environment?'" said Frank Saucedo, director of GM's California design lab.

Saucedo said the GM team had deliberately chosen the polarizing Hummer brand for its imagined environmental remake.

"People think of it as a military vehicle, as a suburban SUV, but really these types of vehicles -- the SUVs and the early Jeeps -- were for people who worked in the outdoors, environmentalists, naturalists and outdoorsmen," he said. "This is just us coming full circle."

GM said this week that its entire Hummer lineup would offer biofuel engines, capable of running on renewable fuels such as biodiesel, over the next three years.

The GM entry in the Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge won out over a number of equally ambitious vehicle sketches from other automakers.

None of the sketches are even close to the full-blown concept cars that automakers roll out at the industry's major trade shows to generate buzz for their brands.

Toyota Motor Corp. suggested an electric-powered, tandem-style vehicle with wicker seats that the occupants could opt to pedal through stop-and-go Los Angeles rush-hour traffic.

DaimlerChrysler AG's luxury Mercedes-Benz unit suggested a diesel-burning convertible with wood panels that could be easily replaced and recycled.

I killed a bambi last night . True story.

2006-12-08T23:14:15Z

Going down the highway late last night (in my Hummer with 100,000 miles on it)and came upon a crest of a hill. At the top of the hill right in the middle of the road were 6 deer. (pronounced deaah in Maine). Nowhere to go I plowed through the middle of them. They all scattered except for two of them. Two of them bounced of the front of grill of the Hummer. One of them died on the spot the other one hobbled off the road.

The moral to this story is this: If I were driving a Subaru or a Hyundai I would possibly be dead right now. My Hummer saved me due to its size and height off of the ground.

I know it must upset all of you treehugger types to know that some poor defenseless deer died and I survived. Better luck next time. O yea and the Hummer is in fine shape, not a scratch on it. Not bad for a GM product.

Subconsiously, he assumed everyone was as bad of a driver as he was and he "protected" himself by driving this SUV. He was the Worst driver I've ever been stuck with in a car.

Hummer H3 goes global, starts production in Africa

by Justin Pritchard, auto123.com / Auto123.com (October 10, 2006)

It's time for the Hummer H3 to expand its reach beyond North American soil and step towards a global expansion of the brand through increased production capacity.

GM today celebrated the start of production at its Struandale assembly plant in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Maureen Kempston Darkes, president of GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East said, "The GM team in South Africa has demonstrated to the world that they have the people, the leadership, the technology and the skills to execute the type of automobile engineering and assembly that is required in the new global economy."

That global demand for Hummer is booming, and GM began production in South Africa just 6 years after acquiring the brand in 1999. After a strong and consistent sales increase over the years, the H3 is now set to go on sale in Europe, Asia and South Africa.

The Struandale assembly plant represents a $100 million investment in South African Operations last year.

The African built H3 will be a purebred Hummer through and through, available with a 242 horsepower Vortec engine, manual or automatic transmission, and premium full-time all wheel drive system. A right-hand drive model will be available for 2007 as well.

2006-09-15T04:19:34Z

I saw my first first HUMMER H-3 yesterday and I must say the "lunacy legend of Hummer" continues into the model I viewed at our local HUMMER Dealership on a LOT BRAND NEW.
"It" had 4 doors and a "Pickup trucklike" Ass end,it looked like a Gussied Up Chevrolet of the same type with "Hummer" Doors and front grille on it,wich is "Most likely" what it Is,since General Motors make BOTH pieces of shit.
The paint on it was reminiscent of Chevy's gone By. All mottled with "Orange Peel"
The grille didn't line up with the front corner fender panels
The rubber seals around the four doors was "exposed" to the elements
The fog lamps were installed crooked
and the interior looked Cheap and REEKED of low-grade Plastic and cheap "fake Mahogany",only the immediate "seating surfaces" of the seats were made of "real Leather" and poorly color matched to the cheap vinyl on the "rest of" the cheap plastic upholstery.
The "estimated MPG" EPA an astounding economical 18 City-22 Highway.
The window sticker said: 37'500:00 The beaming well-dressed salesman was expounding on how if I acted TODAY I could get it for LESS!

Perfect Match

Words Fail Us
Hummer propaganda aimed at kids through McDonald's Happy Meals

Sometimes a story comes along that so perfectly captures a culture's pathologies that it should be put in a time capsule, so future generations ... oh, right, there won't be any future generations. It seems that, according to fast-food behemoth McDonald's, this is a "Hummer of a Summer." A new series of TV and radio ads depict happy families on their way to fatten their children and clog their arteries at McDonald's in GM's gas-guzzling Hummer. When they arrive, soon-to-be-obese boys can choose from eight different toy Hummers with their Happy Meal (happily, girls can learn their proper gender roles from Polly Pocket fashion dolls). Charlie Miller of Environmental Defense thinks it's kind of a bummer of a summer: "Anything that sends a message to kids that these are the cool vehicles to buy is the wrong message." At today's prices, it costs about $96 to fill up the gas tank of a Hummer H2 -- but don't worry, a double cheeseburger's only a buck.

I hate liberals that think they are saving the world...

2006-08-15T02:38:20Z

When all you are really doing is fucking it up even further. I hate tree hugging save the world hippie tree huggers, with little to no thought of their own. Mindless sheep that obey whatever the democratic/socialist party comes up with.

I hate Al Gore, Michael Moore, the american media in general, Sharpton, Jackson and all of you other reverse racists. I could go on forever. You spineless jellyfish.

Next time you stick your little finger up at hummer think of me and how much I hate you right back, as I give it right back to you freaks.

What else do you hate?

2006-07-27T01:40:21Z

Do you hate Dodge pickup trucks?
Do you hate minivans?
Do you tractor trailors trucks?
Do you hate earth movers, bull dozers, dump trucks?
Do you hate buses, airplanes?
Do you hate power companies that generate your electricity?
Do you hate your oil burners in your houses that heat your house?
Do you hate everything on this list?
Do you spit on them. Do you vandalize them?

All of these things on this list burn far more fuel than a few Hummers. We are all a slave to the big oil. Why can't you idiots get it? Maybe just maybe one of you brain washed idiots will get it.
We need an alternative fuel, true. We need energy independance. Picking on a Hummer is not going to help.

My buses will make a Hummer give it a hummer, for peace and justice; better orgazms thru buses

2006-07-12T06:35:39Z

Howdy humvee haters, how can i join?? Ooops too late, I'm already here. Tell your younger sisters to watch themselves, and your mama too. Furthermore, I was in the military, and HATE all things military, or military derived except for those little round disks of chocolate we got in our C-rations., Those little bastards were Tasty Homefriends, sorta like a Nestle's Crunch, but without the guilt of the Nestles thing. OK I WAS employed in the death machine, but I've since renounced US sponsored terrorism. Patrick

--------------------------------
I'm Patrick, the King of California Buses. There simply Is No Equal, so don't bother looking. I already know some of you. I was going to write a generic letter explaining my self, and reason for existence, but instead decided to amaze and delght you wth this litle bit of mirth I call "my latest ad on Ebay". Enjoy......

Here is the text of my new Ebay ad. Send it only to those who have courage and gentleness, strong backs and broad hips, or something like that. It is titled (to attract Fat Older White Men With Money) "FOR SALE: MY ATTRACTIVE WIFE AND BUS"
=================
Well, I'm actually only selling an "image" of my attractive wife now. EBay rejected my first ad, and the wife weren’t too pleased either. She got on her computer, went to EBay and listed me in Antiques, subcategory "Jerks" so I guess I got what I deserved.

So what am I really selling in this ad? Well, what’s it to you? Are you here to buy a very good high quality long lasting rugged and powerful diesel bus from me, or give me hard time? I would definitely do the former, because I have a terrible temper and poor emotional control in most situations (except when helping a grateful and satisfied customer with their high quality ultra durable best deal on the Net rugged and capable diesel bus, or parts.)

You can see all the buses I got, it's ridiculous at this point. I'm getting 3-4 more this month. So why would a otherwise sane person be doing this?? (selling buses, not wives) Well read on my son, read on.

I do this bus thing to support my fabulous non-profit, the Wheelchair Project. My wife and I went to Central America (that was my first wife, she ran away with one of my buses, a tall strapping young triple axle with a full head of hair and a devil may care Bad Boy attitude. I still see them around town now and then, and it still hurts) and had kids brought to us who were either very sick, going deaf, etc. and it was just from lack of very simple stuff like clean water, and medicines you could get at Wal-Mart for three bucks.

So, we either had a chance to face it, or act like we didn’t see it, so we decided to face it. So we helped raise 9000 bucks, and sent it to some scam artists who were supposed to be legitimate (Hey I DIDN”T choose these folks, the group did) and went we got to Nicaragua, the hospital hadn’t been destroyed, they never heard of us, and the only thing that got down there was the 15 boxes of supplies we hand carried, and little cases of ampicillin and penicillin we bought in Mexico City.

So after that, I decided to never give away the Do Rey Mee, but to go in person and at least check the stuff into the hospital, school, etc. Then if it got stolen it would still go into some person’s sick behind, or under some wheelchair needy person’s fanny (I send lots of wheelchair, so my thing is called the Wheelchair Project)

By now you may we thinking, “Is he ever gonna get to the bus for sale?”

Ok, I’ll start, but only after reminding you that I’m going to Haiti in about 2 months, gonna ship a Ford bus with a healthy CAT motor, full of the stuff the folks requested (school supplies, generators, Honda Trail 90 motorbikes, medical supplies, a copy machine, etc…..no junk or used clothing please!)

So when you buy a high quality near eternal timeless hand crafted bus of bliss from me, I will take said money and buy more stuff for the project, or bend over deeply then write the check to get the bus through the Panama Canal (6 Grand, oh I love it) or change the differential (the bus only goes 50) and drive it to Miami, great fun in a noisy front engine bus with a sheet of plywood/wall right behind the driver.

But enough about me. What do YOU think about my project?

OK you wanna bus, I gotta bus. How about a mid 70’s Gillig or Crown? Why these models you say? Because the are simply the best, unequalled in quality, and bonehead simple for boneheads like you (and your extended family) and me.

These buses were built by hand (both left AND right) and sold for over 100 thousand George Washingtons back in the day, and that was back when 20 bucks could buy you a Deusenberg or an entire politician. Kids nowadays, nothing but a bunch of lazy gang bangers, driving around with that loud “music” blasting….Boy I could just grab one of ‘em by the neck and squeeze until their eyes pop, but I can’t because I teach in the public schools (20 years of tears, laughter and spineless administrators)

OK I guess I’ll sell you the Crown bus I have. It is a good bus. It is very clean. It bathes regularly, goes to church on Saturday (I don’t know why either) and will give you years of love affection and loyalty.

It’s a 1970 Crown, with a healthy and happy 220 horsepower Cummins and a 5 speed transmission. (ONLY 220 horsepower in a 19,000 lb behemoth?) Yes, only 220 horsepower, but it produces it at about 1800 RPM, and would squash your SUV like the overpriced insect that it is, and just drive right on without even a glance back.) The engine is 743 cubic inches of six cylinder hell, built for torque, and will haul 15,000 lbs without even blinking a headlight. I know, I’ve done it a time or 8. The tires are good too. They are really. They are all Michelins, tubeless, with the biggest size on a bus, 12R x 22.5. (Are you bidding yet? I can hold for a minute while you do…)

The bus is almost perfect inside, and 100% original and stock like the day it left the factory. I’ve already put about 400 miles on this bus, and let me tell you, it towed perfectly behind the wrecker. But seriously, it’s a great bus, clean, starts and runs and drives like Rolls Royce, handles like a Ferrari, and gets better mileage than those new hybrid cars. I regularly get 40-42 miles per quart, and only fill up every third Leap Year, and even then these old engines will run on bathtub water, dirt, or old paint from your neighbor’s garage.

And if you’re one of this long haired wiseacres that smokes that stuff and thinks they know everything, then this bus can easily be converted to veggie oil. I have some young friends who smell vaguely like rotting cabbage, but they can convert a bus over to veggie faster than you can say pass the bong. But they’re only good until about 4:20 in the afternoon, then after that, park your bus and lock it.

But they will help you if you wanted to go veggie or biodiesel, I’m just too busy to explore the technology right now.

And I hope you realize that I’m not just selling This Bus alone. I am violating every rule made by God and EBay, and hoping they won't notice that I am trying to hustle everything I own with one ad. I’ve got other buses and lots of parts for sale. I even work on buses (once again a crappy way to make a buck, but you do meet lots of nice people, and their wives too if you play it right) and I learn from every job I do.

So write call, or just wire directly to my bank account in Zurich. It’s the one next to Jack Abramoff’s, right behind “Duke” Cunningham’s tear stained Certificates of Deposit.

OK feel free to call me off this site and help me evade EBay’s fees. They pay ABSOLUTELY NO ATTENTION to what I write anyway. Heck, I sold somebody’s mother in law to Liberia about 2 years ago, no problem, smooth transaction.

OK you can do one of the following:

1. Call me at home. (559) 251-3814

2. Write to my e-mail. It is WheelchairBusProject@yahoo.com

3. Go to my web site. That won’t accomplish anything, but nobody goes there, and my URL is lonely and depressed. It’s a good site, loads fast, etc. There are some pictures of my first wife there too, she’s the one holding the meat cleaver. It is www.fresnoalliance.com/wheelchairproject

4. Have some fun and write me going through (ugh) the traditional EBay channels. Then both you and the other folks who have endured this ad, and have way too much spare time, can read and enjoy my ridiculous answers to your attempted questions.

OK start bidding. There isn’t that much time. Don’t bid unless you really mean it though. I’ve suffered enough heartbreak and disappointment in life already, will be 50 in about two months, and just don’t need the hassle. But for those lucky few, bid now and bid high.

Bid for yourself, and bid to support the troops. Bid. Now. Bid bid bid bid bid. Get your wife involved. Heck it’s fun for the whole family. A bus looks good in the den or driveway, and can be used as a temporary holding facility for your oldest daughter and her boyfriend when he gets out of jail.

Ok gotta go, the wife’s waking up.
So BID, bid now, and bid high, …………………because If You Don’t bid, the terrorists will have won.

2006-06-17T17:18:28Z

Ahhh The HUMMER!
What really IS IT?
It's a Quasi-Militaristic Vehicle,whos best place is on the dusty streets of Iraq.
Its formless..a "Box On wheels" has NO "style" at all and looks like something the Cat dragged In.
Its heavy and unresponsive...like a TANK or...like most military vehicles and a danger to its occupants becuase of its total lack of manuverability(It can't even get out of it's own way!).
it sucks down fuel like an alcoholic guzzling a case of beer.
It makes Women driving it look like the King Dyke of the walk...totally unfeminine and/or flattering for a Woman.
The only Men who drive it suffer from "Penis Envy" and other less,than a Man Qualities.
Sooo....Why Drive a HUMMER?

SF Critical Mass Vs. Hummer

2006-05-09T03:43:24Z

Last friday I'm riding critical mass in SF. Right near the start of the ride a hummer appeared on the right, a big yellow monstrosity. Everything came to a dead stop. The hummer, the Mass. By the time I made my way up there the cops had arrived. The driver was from New York and he obviously didn't how we do shit here on the west coast. Shit was flying in the air, and folks is pissed. I'm going to down load the photos from my camera, because I caught the tail end of it. It may take me a minutes because of the size limits.

You all disappoint me only 10 replys in one day. I made a bet there would be over 50 total so keep them coming boys and girls. In the meantime I'm just going to go for a ride, in my guess what?
You guessed right. In my Hummer and I think I will burn a few gallons of gas tonight. That always makes me feel better, and all the time I'll be thinking of you guys. I'll also be thinking of Dubya because without him it wouldn't be possible. You know what I'm talking about.
So tonight when you turn your heat up on your oil/gas fired furnace and go to bed all cozy you can thank Dubya too. You bunch of hypocrites. Until you people start burning methane gas for heat and energy you have no right to criticize Hummer owners, because you are a slave to the almighty oil just like the rest of us. O wait you drive a Hybrid that's right. Can someone please tell me what a hybrid burns? Stay tuned we will have the answer for you tomorrow.

Trading the Hummer for a Honda - New York Times

2006-03-20T00:33:17Z

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/18/business/18trucks.html

For Janna Jensen, it was the dirty looks and nasty gestures from other drivers that finally persuaded her to give up the family's $55,000 Hummer H2. Her husband, Michael, meanwhile, was tired of the $300 monthly gasoline cost and the quality problems that began soon after they bought it.

So the Jensens of Reno, Nev., dumped the sport utility vehicle this year for a more modest Honda Element, still an S.U.V. but one with better gasoline mileage and a lower profile than the H2. And they are not alone.

Luxury sport utilities are becoming decidedly less cool than just three years ago, when they were the hottest things on wheels and dealers had long waiting lists for the most popular models.

On top of the sales drop that has hurt all sport utilities, fewer than half the people who bought luxury S.U.V.'s are going back for another one. Incentives for the vehicles are at record levels and for the first time, luxury automakers are paying out more for rebates and lease deals to entice consumers to buy luxury S.U.V.'s than to buy cars.

The higher cost of gasoline plays a big role, as it has for the last year of high oil prices. But wealthy buyers, who used to shrug off the expense, are shifting gears, as excessive energy consumption is becoming socially embarrassing.

Dub magazine, a specialty publication aimed at car enthusiasts, remains packed each month with images of customized cars, including celebrities' wheels. But now, its editors are seeing that trend setters, especially those who have families, are trying to appear as if they are environmentally aware.

"Everyone is concerned with giving back," said Myles Kovacs, the magazine's editor.

In February, average incentives on luxury sport utility vehicles hit $4,046, or nearly $1,500 a vehicle more than what automakers doled out on luxury cars, according to Autodata Inc., a Woodcliff, N.J., company that tracks industry statistics. That is also more than four times what automakers paid as incentives on luxury S.U.V.'s in 2003.

Moreover, about 53 percent of luxury S.U.V. owners who have traded in their models in the months since November did not purchase another luxury S.U.V., according to the Power Information Network, a branch of the consumer-marketing company J. D. Power & Associates.

Of that group, two-fifths went back to cars, while others bought smaller or less-expensive S.U.V.'s and some purchased pickup trucks. Ron Pinelli, the president of Autodata, said, "Cool has a short shelf life."

As recently as 2003, auto companies routinely earned profits of $15,000 and more on each big luxury S.U.V., a lure that also drew automakers from Japan and Europe into the marketplace. Even brands that were better known for their cars, like Volvo, Saab and Porsche, introduced luxury sport utilities, all aiming for the big money.

Now I have found it. I have found the place where all of you hippies go when you are not out protesting. I think yall need to get a life and moveon.org cause the hate is just unbelieveable. Why don't you hate a bus or a semi? They burn a heck of alot more gas than a hummer. I guess its just a symbolic thing. I think you all are just jealous and deep down inside you are just pissed cause you can't make it society so you rebell against it. The hummer is expensive and only the affluent own them, which you will never be. So next time you see a hummer instead of flipping him your middle finger you should thank him for creating wealth and paying taxes so you can get your food stamps and afdc.

Hummer Overfloweth

2006-02-02T13:21:34Z

The word around town was that the Hummers weren't moving. It looked like high gas prices and a White House reversal on fuel conservation meant that fewer "W" bumper stickers would find their exposed sticky sides mating gloriously with the smooth rear bumper of an H2, somewhere between the tow loop and the access hole for a Class 3 hitch.

We were skeptical at first. Sources can be unreliable, but the scuttlebutt was that inventory had been building for months now and the local Hummer dealer had panicked. He had begun storing his Hummer inventory at an undisclosed location, far from the dealer showroom so as not to spook jittery, prospective buyers with the mounting number of unsold H2s and H3s.

When an anonymous caller phoned in with the location, we were off. "The rear parking lot of the Hyatt Westlake Plaza Hotel", he said, just before the line went dead.

2006-01-12T10:39:54Z

hello all...I am new to the tribe and felt the need to share my most annoying hummer story- so here it goes! Driving home from work, (yes I was driving and wishing I wasn't) I noticed a very large yellow hummer coming my way. Like always, I got a bit annoyed and shot up my middle finger. But oh no... that is not it! The yellow monster passed me on the left and what was towing behind it you should ask? Oh a huge tacky as all hell speed boat, yellow to match...of course. I couldn't help but laugh...I mean how much better do you think that man must feel now that he has purchased his manhood? A bit too much testosterone for me...sorry boys hope that wasn't out of line. Anyway Keep giving em the finger or the thumbs down, and do like I do...when you see one parked in a parking lot, write em a little note and place it under their wipers...but be as nice as possible, they might actually listen to something we say...well maybe not but its worth a try.

thanks for reading...
hoopiness and peacefull vibes

New & w/ a Hummer asshole story

2005-12-28T16:38:36Z

Hi, I'm firemermaid & I'm sickened by Hummers & the fools that drive 'em! OK, here's my little story: I was stuck in Fla. for awhile several years ago, helping to care for my Mom, who was very ill. Couldn't get out a lot, so I'd talk w/ anyone close by. One evening, the next door neighbor's sleazy boytoy told me why he drove a Hummer. It was because when "all the shit came down" he wanted to be able to "run all those little pussy vehicles off the road & defend my family". Didn't seem to occur to him that when if the shit came down he might soon be out of gas. Hmmm... I guess I wouldn't hate a bio-diesel Hummer quite as much. Just dislike.

You win

2005-11-22T22:45:37Z

I'm selling my truck. Just dumped a couple of k$ into it for maintenance, water pump, coolant pump, hoses, brake caliper, new windshield. I could have bought two fully usable used cars for what I spent.

Before I get rid of it, my friend and I are going to do performance art by turning it into the Christmas 'Slay' and handing out shopping bags full of anti-war propoganda at a large shopping area the day after Thanksgiving.

Put your money where your mouth is - help me sell this fucker. Ideas?

I flipped-off a Hummer

2005-11-18T23:40:26Z

On the way home in my neighborhood. So the Hummer follows me home and while I went to get my mail, slowly pulls up and asked "did you flip us off?" He had his high maintenance date with him and looked as though they were off on a night on the town. I said sacastically as to make him think I really didn't, but I did, so he'll get it later, "NO...I didn't." He acted all goofy and said "Ok, I thought you did...hahah". I rolled my eyes and continued to get my mail. Annoying to see those in my neighborhood.

Idiots in hummer -- sigh.

Does anyone remember the site with all the pictures of people flipping off hummers? The site hosts received a ton from visitors with handy cell phone cameras. I can't remember what the URL was.

I'm really sorry to see www.changingthecliimate.com gone. :o( That was a fun site.

SUV's Drivers in paris get the wind knocked out of them...

2005-10-11T01:37:36Z

PARIS — If the French marauders known as The Deflated waged their brand of urban subversion in Southern California, the mecca of the sport utility vehicle, by now they would probably have been jailed, beaten, shot or at least sued.

But five weeks after the clandestine crew of environmentalists launched a low-intensity war on SUVs in Paris, there are no casualties to report. Except, of course, for dozens of deflated gas-guzzling vehicles, said Sous-Adjudant Marrant (Sub-Warrant Officer Joker), the mysterious, masked leader of Les Dégonflés.

Under cover of night, Marrant's troops target Jeep Cherokees, Porsche Cayennes and other four-wheel-drive vehicles parked on the tree-lined avenues and cobblestoned lanes of wealthy neighborhoods. The eco-guerrillas deflate tires without damaging them, smear doors with mud and paste handbills on windshields proclaiming that the vehicles are dangerous, polluting behemoths that do not belong in the city.

"We use the mud to say that if the owners will not take the four-wheel-drives to the countryside, we will bring the countryside to the four-wheel-drives," said Marrant, 28, who uses an alias because angry drivers deluge his website, http://degonfle.blogg.org with e-mails threatening mayhem and questioning his manhood.

Although his nom de guerre was inspired by Subcommander Marcos, the masked Mexican guerrilla revered by leftists, Marrant insists he is not violent or even particularly serious. "Deflated" is a self-deprecating name that also means "coward" in French. The group wants to send a mischievous message while avoiding damage to the vehicles, injury and prosecution, the thin, mop-haired activist said during an interview in a corner cafe on the Seine's left bank, longtime turf of radicals and revolutionaries.

"We emphasize the comic, the burlesque side," Marrant said with the earnest, wide-eyed look of a prankster trying to keep a straight face. "It would be hard to take us to court. We don't slash tires, we deflate them. Air doesn't cost anything. As for getting cars dirty, that's nothing. I would plead guilty to that. Our rules are to never run from the police. And always run from the owners."

The rise of anti-SUV activism in France shows that one man's vandal can be another man's avenger. The deflators are on the fringe of a movement that has considerable support at City Hall, which is governed by an alliance of the Socialist and Green parties.

Christophe Delabre, the president of a French association of SUV owners, has appeared in a television debate with Marrant, who wore sunglasses, a baseball cap and a bandanna to conceal his identity. Delabre does not find his adversary amusing.

"It's comparable to extremism, to discrimination, to inciting hate," Delabre said. "You can't stigmatize a category of the population with impunity under the pretext that they drive a kind of vehicle…. [The Deflated] put others' lives in danger, and that's unacceptable. It's out of the question that this kind of action is tolerated in France. I don't understand how the police can arrest deflators and let them go a few hours later."

Although city leaders don't condone vandalism, officials have gone as far as proposing that Paris ban sport utility vehicles. Deputy Mayor Denis Baupin, who oversees transportation programs, has called the SUV "a caricature of a car."

Baupin spoke during a recent rally of about 200 activists at a Jeep dealership where the manager had agreed to shut down early for the day. The decision drew cheers from children wearing cow and buffalo masks, cyclists hoisting bikes triumphantly aloft.

"An SUV is totally useless for Paris," Baupin said in his speech, blaming the recent devastating hurricanes in the U.S. on climate change caused by pollution. "The situation is striking: The country that refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol suffered from a climatic catastrophe…. We all feel sorry for the dead in New Orleans. But now maybe the United States should start considering that their development pattern is not to be repeated worldwide and that it causes environmental problems."

In the United States, sport utility vehicles account for one of every four automobiles sold, but in France, SUVs represent only about 5% of the market. The prices are high for middle-class families, but sales jumped about 20% last year.

Overt official hostility has encouraged antisocial attacks masquerading as activism, Delabre charged.

"This reflects the impact of the statements made during the last two years by Mr. Baupin," he said. "He has told anyone listening, and the media helped him a lot, that four-wheel-drives should be banned. I criticized him because that kind of talk surprised me coming from an elected representative."

Like other historic European capitals, Paris struggles with overwhelming traffic that challenges even the smallest cars and steeliest drivers. Double-parked delivery trucks block narrow streets. Swarms of motorcyclists zoom the wrong way on congested boulevards. Parking garages, impossibly small, seem designed by sadists.

Spurred by the take-back-the-streets attitude of the Greens, City Hall is trying to discourage cars in favor of mass transit, biking and walking. In addition, the national government has imposed a new tax on high-polluting vehicles that works out to about $300 per owner, but varies depending on emission levels.

And the Deflated are stepping up their stealthy fight. Marrant is writing a children's song as an anthem for the cause. He also hopes to record a dance-mix version before Saturday, when activists plan an international wave of anti-SUV operations — by daylight, this time — in France, Britain, Canada and Australia.

"The point is to focus on consumers," he said, spewing smoke from a Gaulois cigarette into the haze shrouding the crowded cafe. "We have to get past the idea that there's always a single, identifiable villain: the president, the corporation, the chief executive. Our campaign has to be very marketing, shocking, provocative. I want to make it fashionable to be anti-4X4."

Marrant is unemployed, though he has dabbled in journalism. His brother works for a major European corporation. His group numbers about 20, he said. They come from a mix of middle- and working-class backgrounds and anti-globalization and environmental groups.

The Deflated have made contact with like-minded activists in the United States. Marrant is familiar with the U.S. television advertising campaign that equated buying an SUV with financing Islamic terrorism. But he finds it too gloomy.

He says the French public supports his group's approach. People send e-mails asking to participate or suggesting tactics, such as a special tool the activists now use for lightning-fast deflations.

"It's a kind of key that deflates a tire very fast and completely, in two seconds," he said. "A mechanic sent an e-mail telling us about it. He said, 'You can do better than you have been doing.' "

Delabre, meanwhile, fears an eventual confrontation.

"I put myself in the place of an owner of a four-wheel-drive who sees people messing up his vehicle," he said. "I worry that things will get out of control. We can't accept that in our fine democracy. People have died for the freedom we have today."

death by hummer

2005-10-05T05:30:19Z

http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/story.jsp?idq=/ff/story/0001%2F20050810%2F2305278842.htm

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) - A woman jumped to her death from a Hummer limousine as it was driving down an interstate Wednesday in what appeared to be a suicide, authorities said.

The limo as going about 65 mph and the woman was struck by several cars, said police Sgt. Martin Carver. Her identity was not immediately released.

``We're still investigating, but based on interviews with some people who were in the limo it looks like a suicide,'' Carver said. ``It was a gruesome scene.''

Carver said the woman and four other passengers left a party at a Costa Mesa home and were traveling south in the rented limo when she jumped out shortly after 5 a.m. He said the passengers had been drinking but it wasn't known if the woman was intoxicated.

The driver pulled to the side of Interstate 405 and called the California Highway Patrol, said CHP Officer Denise Quesada.

I saw the worst thing ever today

2005-10-01T04:02:37Z

So, I was driving along, told my friend about this newsgroup, got on the freeway started talking about something else, when lo and behold a Hummer H3 passed us and I said, "speak of the devil, those things are ugly".

Then another one passed us and I was like, "damn, what a coincidence"

Then another one passed. And another. I look in the rearview mirror and there's a whole shitpot of them.

Jesus Christ, we were appalled. It was like some sort of San Diego Hummer club.

I've seen a Ferrari club where they drive around in their Ferraris and that's sorta cool and I've been part of Euro sportbike motorcycle rides where we hooligan all over the county with police helicopters trying to keep track of us, but a Hummer club? Ferraris and motorcyles are fun to drive, but . . . . Hummers?

Hummers!

BTW, there wasn't an H1 (the only truly utilitarian one in the line) in the group.

The Curse of the Hummer

2005-09-27T06:29:28Z

We got to the playa early, a few days before the Burn officially
started. Other ambitious constructors were there too and there were 2 Hummers within easy sight of our camp. One, an H1, was helping with the setup of an open-playa art structure, three stories of scaffolding, and the other, and H2, was theme-camp connected, setting up a Dome.

And the winds came. High winds, not terrible, but 40mph, enough to cause some problems. Two and only two structures within sight of our camp blew over. One was the 3 story scaffold art structure out on the Playa with the H1 parked next to it and the other was the theme camp Dome with the H2 parked next to it.

Luckily no one was hurt by the collapsed structures. It was
appalling and yet amusing in a way (since no one was hurt). The Burningman Gods have spoken? Is there a lack of engineering ability by Hummer owners? Or are they just plain unlucky, getting the medium strength winds at a bad time?

power trip

2005-09-26T21:07:37Z

i have a question, it's not specifically hummer related, but it is asshole related: if most US states have speed limits that cap at an average of 60 mph, how come most vehicles can go up to 100-120 mph? we have a shitload of speeding accidents here in hawai'i and i don't understand why car companies find it necesary to over power vehicles in general. moreover, i was just talking to my trusty diesel mechanic, herwig, and he was adamantly trying to persuade me not to use biodiesel in my benz because according to him it doesn't have as much power, i'm not sure about all that, but my response to him was, do i need power? my local autobahn has a speed limit of 65 which is usually reduced to 35 anyways due to the constant traffic on an island where there are more cars than actual roads.

Anyone noticed a 4X4 trend in Europe lately?

2005-07-01T19:12:25Z

Is it just me, or do I keep seeing more and more SUVs in France? The French drive badly enough, but were fairly harmless up until now- I even felt like if I were to actually get hit by one of those tiny cars whilst on my bike, it would be an even match.
But I am noticing more SUVs, and consequently asshole driving that goes along with it. With gas at about $6.30 a gallon (about 1.25 euros a litre, times 3.89 litres in a gallon, times about 1.30 to convert euros to dollars), what could be going on here??

Hummer jokes

2005-06-25T03:13:36Z

Q: How many H2 drivers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: 5. One to screw in the lightbulb, and 4 others to hop in one of their H2s and drive to the local hardware store and buy a generator because the first H2 owner couldn't afford to pay his electric bill because his Suburban H2 only gets 8 miles to the gallon and that's where all his money goes. Luckily, all the other drivers AND the generator fit comfortably in another H2, with some room on top for a manly dead deer.

REPORT: Stung by High Gas Prices, Uncle Sam Buys Minivans to Replace Army Humvees

Date Posted 05-23-2005

WINDSOR, Canada — The U.S. Armed Forces have ordered 19,000 minivans and 5,000 Pacificas from the Chrysler Group for use as light-duty vehicles in Iraq and elsewhere around the world, displacing less fuel-efficient Humvees, according to the Windsor Star.

The switch to the gas-powered school-carpool mainstays is designed to reduce fuel consumption and improve passenger-carrying ability. The U.S. military has complained it is inefficient to use Humvees to carry a few soldiers at a time, especially in noncombat situations.
