4. How utterly Republican! Tough-looking on the outside, but when...
Push comes to shove, it folds like a wet newspaper!

Crafted with pride in the U.S.A.! :)

31. 8MPG would be an improvement on the H2
which gets 6. We think. GM won't admit how bad it really is.

15. yeah, baby!
Dayum, what is that thing made of, paper?

I've always contended the size of the car is inversely proportional to brain size and appendage size..

17. More to that accident than in the picture.
I have a "H2 Recovery Team" sticker on my Jeep. There's no ove for them among my offroading friends. Their steering components break too easily when crawling across rocky terrain.

That particular accident was described in detail at a Jeep site many months ago. There were more vehicles involved than that other truck. It was pretty bad.

It's crash worthy. It's the one thing H2 owners SHOULD do with them...

18. Oh, sure - next you'll be telling us there was more to the
toppling of the statue of Saddam than was seen in the original photos.

Just kidding, actually, it was pretty obvious that there was, or that the engine compartment had collapsed to save the occupants, but it is a funny picture regardless. :)

20. Deb is my name, and mud is my game!
I love it when a truck hits the mud and the boggers throw chunks 50 feet in the air! It's raining out right now so I may just have to go fond some muddy trail around here!

21. I drive a Rubicon, BTW
Shouldn't the Suzuki be flexing a bit more?

My Rubi has a 5.5 inch RockKrawler long arm kit. In the same environment the front wheel would be on the ground and not in the air. It flexes well.

29. I thought that, too..
But look at the right rear wheel. I think the angle and the right front being completely stuffed has something to do with it.

Wow, somone who actually *uses* a Rubi off-road...that's impressive. I've only ever seen one with mud on it in real-life. There's a really nice one here in Victoria, with a decent suspension lift, but it's always immaculate, and even though it's running 35"s, it still has the factory spare on the back :shrug: . Pavement princess!

28. WoW!
That's far more damaged than the pickup truck. I'm not surprised that the Hummer is smashed up, but i did expect the pickup to be the worse of the two.

Now i'm happy.
