Hummer H3 Gadgetopia:
The point, gentlemen is this:
I’ve had a Ford F-150 4x4 and loved it until I had to sell it (wife, kids , broke…) . Thing was , I didn’t use it off road very much. Those of you who do get a chance to get out in the woods to have some fun, OK, fine. Been there done that.
The ones who buy a Hummer because they CAN roughly equate to the Saudi sheiks who have gold faucets in every bathroom in their palace(s). You’ve got money and you flaunt it. Again: OK, fine. Might I suggest you use that money for charitable purposes? ( I might refrain from the "You're compensating for a small penis" , we'll see.)
I just parked a Toyota 2wd truck that got me everywhere I ever needed to go due to mounting mechanical/financial woes [334,000miles]. It got about 25-27MPG. Things were really bad, wallet-wise. I spent $1,443.02 on gas 01/01/05 to 06/27/05. That’s a daily commute of 140 miles round trip. Just before gas rocketed upward this summer I began driving my Dad’s Corolla. Now I have my own Corolla ( I could not justify the extra ten grand for a Prius. 401k & college funds) and I am getting 38mpg when I’m late,haulin’ ASS with the A/C on. If I do 55mph, I get over 43MPG!!!!! This has saved me a bunch of money on my car (gas) expenses.
I recycle because I should (beer cans, bottles, paper,etc.) I feel better about turning out lights, not primarily because my electric bill will be smaller, but due to the fact that we’ll burn less coal, pollute less and reduce acid rain. It leaves a better world for My kids & YOUR kids.
So when you see a car going the opposite way roll down the window & flip you the bird, it’s because you DON’T have locked hubs, you aren’t slinging mud and you ARE fouling MY air.
So there.
