A little story about a Hummer. (No, the 4-wheel kind)
:evilgrin:

Just went up to the store for a box of beer, & a guy driving this Hummer was at the counter paying for his gas (2.09 a gallon, I believe it was)...he was bitching at the poor lady cashier about having to pay 64 bucks to fill the goddamn thing up. I said "Why don't you call Dubya and complain to HIM about it?"

He just scowled & walked out. At least he didn't have any Chimp stickers on the piece of shit.
:eyes:

bush is the one who gave people a tax break
to buy those things , just so he could suck
em' dry with the cost of a fill-up .

there's a sucker born everyday .

Screw Hummer drivers. And the big joke is GW can't get the prices of gas down.

7. nothing is free...
I had a friend that was given a BMW by a close relative whose illness stopped him from driving. My friend found out the hard way that this free car cost a whole lot more to maintain than a much less expensive car....in the end he sold it.

8. Yes - "I'll take my Suburban/Silverado with the Hummer flavored topping"
Do a side by side comparison at www.kbb.com of the Hummer H2 & the Suburban 2500. The Suburban is a better truck in almost every measurable way (faster, more HP, lighter, better equipped, tows more, seats more, etc). It's also about 18,000$ less.

10. And at around 10 MPG that's just 320 miles between fill-ups.
New Corvettes go longer between fill-ups, for goodness sakes and they have gas tanks smaller than 20 gallons.

FYI in some parts of the country, it would be +90$ for 32 gallons of fuel.

12. I'd tell him to cry me a river...
WTF did the moron think he was getting when he bought a humongous piece of shit like that?

Somewhere, the world's tiniest violin is playing for this idiot. :nopity:

13. Good job. What a bunch of dopes these people are!
The number one complaint of Hummer owners is the gas mileage...DUH!
