I saw a HUMMER with a huge "For Sale" sign on it today...

[driver8]

I laughed my ass off!! As my wife said, "people buy these things but can't afford the costs that go with them." I guess gas got a little too expensive, huh??

[patrice]

1. So they already spent their tax exemption for the Damned thing?

They should paint "FUCK YOU" on the sides and back in 4' X 1' letters. Somebody'd buy that.

[Clark2008]

2. Did it have a "W '04" sticker on the back?

:rofl:

[Jackpine Radical]

73. I thought those stickers are original equipment on Hummers.

[kenny blankenship]

3. For kicks

you could print out a mapquest route to the nearest metal scrap collector's yard and put it under the Hummer's wiperblade.
"--With Best Wishes for Pennies on Your Hummer Dollar!"

[unhappycamper]

That's cold.

But funny. BWAHAHAHAHAHA

[kenny blankenship]

11. I agree coldness is not constructive

The closing line should be more hopeful and consoling:
"--Maybe it will come back to you in the next life as a toaster oven, a set of golf clubs, a Vespa or something useful"

[Ian David]

19. How about, "Either you can't afford the gasoline, or Enzyte really works"

Stupid Hummers.

People who drive them should be drafted first.

[ryan_cats]

28. Went to your link

Nice to see the red neck retard kant speel now wat i meen?

[yankeedem]

37. Or the route to the nearest Army recruiter

nt

[progressivebydesign]

4. The worst Hummer I saw recently...

Shiny black, brand new.. and personalized plates: GOP 'nuff said.

People get tax breaks if they own any type of biz.. cuz the weight allows them to get breaks on them as though it was a work truck.

[City Lights]

41. The worst one I saw was tooling around the streets of central London.

It had Texas plates on it.

[Snotcicles]

5. You should have offered them three hundred dollars for it. n/t

[stlsaxman]

78. Look for banks to offer FREE HUMMERs when you open a checking account-

with a thousand dollars or more.

[DebJ]

6. I read that as "Hammer"....as in, DeLay...oops

[Richard Steele]

7. He was ALWAYS "For Sale"....

[HysteryDiagnosis]

8. Slap a bumper sticker on it "Which way to Baghdad?"

[BrotherBuzz]

9. 4th of July fireworks are held in my small neighborhood...

Whole town drives over and parks. I noticed eight to ten for sale signs that were exclusively on those new huge SUVs (2004 Ford Exhibitionists or something). Hey, my community isn't affluent enough for Hummers, but I think the fad for big and bigger SUVs has waned.

[wtmusic]

10. So another little soldier is tired of paying $75 at the pump?

Hehe.

[jaysunb]

12. I like hummers......

:evilgrin:

[Garfield Goose]

22. Me too

you pay for em?

[jaysunb]

30. No

I do quality control for the freepers....

[MissB]

35. .

:rofl:

[Garfield Goose]

51. LOL! eom

[blondeatlast]

55. HAH! Nice one! nt

23. Are all these folks jealous?

Or is society collectively telling H2 owners to fuck off?

http://www.fuh2.com/

I tend to side with the latter.

[wtmusic]

54. Had no idea H2s were Chevy Tahoes with a pseudo-Hummer body

that is quite a fun link you posted

[Ian David]

62. I've been giving Hummers the finger for months.

Didn't know that site was there.

Too bad ChangingTheClimate.com has been shut-down.

[kath]

82. I don't give 'em the middle finger - I give 'em the Teenie Weenie Peenie

sign - hold up your little finger and wiggle it, as in "your's must be *this* big if you have to drive such a huge Penis Compensator".

[proud patriot]

84. That's what I do "the pinky wave"

every time I see one :D

[Ian David]

85. Do they know what that means? n/t

[proud patriot]

90. I know

I'll tell them if they'd ask :D

[Ian David]

92. I gave the finger followed by "teenie-weenie-peenie" to a Hummer today

The guy seemed surprised someone would give him the finger for "no reason."

I followed-up on the finger with "teenie-weenie-peenie" but I couldn't maintain eye contact (I was driving) long enough to see if he "got it."

Despite the large number of photos on FUH2.com , my guess is that not enough people are giving Hummer drivers the finger yet for them to see it as routine.

Something needs to be done about this.

We need everyone on DU to pledge: Every Hummer gets the finger every time.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

34. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I bet there's lot of Benzes at the trailer park!

36. .

Ya think? :rofl:

[orleans]

16. i think it's a fun thread

rather amusing

and since i just paid $2.45.9 at the pump today (for regular/premium was twenty cents more per gallon) and was just thinking about the morons who own those gas guzzlers--wondering how happy they are with their "president" and remembering bushie's little words when he said (when asked what he would do to keep gas prices low) that he would "jawbone" opec and "tell them to open up the spigots".....i'm amused by this thread.

[Stillwater]

24. Unfortunately

The jawbone of an ass hasn't worked since Samson used it on the Philistines

[benddem]

18. no it's not

people are finding that the gas prices are too high for the kind of mileage the hummer gets. I used to see 3 or 4 different ones on every trip out...haven't seen one in days.

[NV Whino]

27. No. It's a fun thread

If you don't like it, don't post here. I laugh everytime I drive past a gas guzzler for sale by the side of the road. Gas guzzlers are not limited to Hummers, by the way. Jeeps, Explorers, Suburbans and more qualify. And I'm seeing more and more of them with for sale signs.

I hope all the idiots who bought Hummers get stuck with them until they have to pay to have them hauled away.

[Johnny Noshoes]

14. I see people driving these monsters

here in NYC and they can hardly manuever through traffic. I swear they should sell these things with an optional cannon on top or something this way the morans who drive 'em can play pretend war. Everytime I see one parked I'm tempted to leave a note asking them how many Marines per gallon is this thing worth to you.

25. Welcome to DU! Enjoy your stay!

You are way off base with your comment, though. Oil isn't a renewable resource. The faster we burn through it with inefficient vehicles, the faster it goes away. Buying a gas-guzzling vehicle may well be an American right, but it isn't the patriotic thing to do given that we're at war in the Middle East.

Enjoy your Explorer and the gas mileage that you get with it! :hi:

:applause:

Unfortunately, the cost of gasoline isn't just what we Americans pay at the pump. The cost of oil includes those that die in the Middle East during the Iraq War (the war for oil).

Reducing consumption of consumer goods and oil is a wonderfully patriotic thing to do.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

I don't care if my children or grandchildren suffer because of my wasteful habits and egregious selfishness! My luxury is more important! :crazy:

40. Well I'm glad it's not important to you.

My brother was sent to a bullshit war and saw his buddies get blown up left and right to make sure you had enough oil to drive your nice, big SUV's, but I'm glad that's not important to you.

Be sure to slap a nice "Support the Troops" ribbon on the gas cap for me, cupcake.

Oh well, I probably would have lost a few brain cells reading it anyway.

Thanks mods! :hi:

[entanglement]

66. Not fair...The mods should backup these silly freep posts

so that we can laugh long and loud after reading them

[donco6]

77. I know, darn it! I'm never fast enough to see them. eom

[driver8]

26. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way back to freeperville

[demgurl]

42. I would never need anyone to tell me what to drive.

Most of us like minded people here value what is left of the oil production and care about the environment. No one was telling the guy he should or should not buy the hummer. What this thread is actually about is the guy having more dollars than sense. He is using up our (universal 'our', not even the US 'our') resources and he bought something which he did not even take time to consider how much it would cost if gas ever went up.

We were also collectively laughing that the wing nuts believed King George when he said he would not let gas prices go up. It is like when they believed that there were WMD's or that King George was pro-life or even pro-religion. Those poor people got so suckered into his lies and believed him. It is just one more case where those poor deluded fools went worshiping at the alter of Georgie boy and got burned. They will never see it but people with intelligence do.

The person voted and most likely did so for the right. Whether they see it or not, they are getting their just desserts.

Welcome to our board and enjoy your stay.

[hippywife]

70. Sounds like a good bumpersticker:

Hummer drivers have more
dollars than sense!

[demgurl]

76. My husband is always teasing me about my sayings.

He says I am uniquely Newfoundland.(Canada) I say things like :

Her taste is all in her mouth.
Listen to what I have to put up with on account of my ears.
Show me your friends and I will tell you what you are.
She doesn't have sense enough to keep her socks up.
Two shakes of a lamb's tail.
Her taste is all in her mouth.

And the list goes on. More dollars than sense is one of those sayings. I can not help but think that my husband is just sheltered and these are not just Newfoundland/Canadian sayings. Gosh, I hope I do not sound too much like Dr. Phil. Writing this stuff out kind of made me feel very folksy.

[hippywife]

79. Nope,

Heard most all of 'em before. I say some similar things that my husband didn't get at first, either.

There were six of us kids and when my mom used to say something to one of us and we'd say "Who?" she would reply, "Your feet fit a limb?" Not many people get that one without an explanation but it's the first thing that rolls outta my mouth one someone asks, "Who?"

[demgurl]

80. Now that one is extremely cute....

and I got it right off....you are so wise! ;) Sometimes I say things and I turn around to see if one of my relatives is saying it. I can not believe I am turning into my relatives! I still like the sayings and feel they are a part of who I am.

Glad to hear my hunch was right and my husband was just protected so much he never was exposed to them. Or maybe it is a male/female thing. Glad I am not the only one that says them.

[orleans]

93. i've heard a couple of these sayings (except for that taste/mouth one)

and the ears one. my grandmother used to say "two shakes of a lambs tail"

i use sayings such as: "dream on", "get real", "gimmie a break", and other simple ones like that.

my mother's saying: "you're gonna be late for your own funeral" and when someone is running late or moving slow she'll say: "cow's tail". (yeah, right mom--like you grew up on a farm!)

[demgurl]

96. Orleans.....

Glad to see we are not the only ones familiar with those sayings. I had been suspicious that my husband had never heard of them and thought they must be more wide spread than back up in Canada.

I used those simple phrases as well but the ones my Great Aunt used to use are the ones that stick with me and make me feel closer to those who have departed this life.

[mr blur]

56. Always fancied a Canyonero myself,

but not the one with lipstick instead of the cigarette lighter, 'cos I smoke too much.

"Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts - Canyonero!"

[gulliver]

20. Trade-in values plummeting too. Poor dears.

http://www.aiada.org/article.asp?id=41343

[barb162]

29. If they can afford hummers and other large SUVs they can afford to

lose a lot

PS good for 'em.

[getmeouttahere]

32. Very good point.....

no sympathy from me for anyone that buys and then can't unload ANY gas guzzler

[blondeatlast]

61. No sympathy? Hell., I'll point and laugh at them! nt

[blondeatlast]

57. Did you just say "happpy dance?"

Because I think I will. I can't wait until they are a glut on the market.

Edit: and NOT because I want to buy one. They'd make fine homes for the homeless, IMHO.

[gulliver]

63. Happy dance? Moi?

You bet!

[ryan_cats]

38. I believe you should be able to buy what you want.

I myself would like to own an H1, the real Hummer. The reason I don't is they're too expensive and I would probably 4 wheel maybe 6 times a year and I don't need that to drive to work and I would feel WAY too guilty as to be so selfish to drive one of those things. The fact that I could never afford it helps. Now maybe an old pre-OJ Bronco like a '70 model, that would work but it's still too inefficient to drive daily but they're cheap enough to own to 4 wheel. The other problem is that the older I get the worse I think 4 wheeling is on the environment. When I see crap dumped in the middle of nowhere and I (actually it's a friend since it's his Blazer) have to carry it out, it really makes me feel we should close some of the parks down to 4 wheelers.

Now an H2, puleaze, they're just a Chevy with that ugly body on it. No four wheel independent suspension, no bare bones interior, nothing but ugly!

Reminds me of the guy on the Sopranos who was about to turn informant and sees some guy driving a POS and decides against it and Adriana gets killed over a Hummer!

[blondeatlast]

58. Well, don't give up--used prices are plummeting.

When they are a gut on the used market (and they will be), you'll have your chance.

[ryan_cats]

69. No thanks, I need to be able to sleep at night.

[Ian David]

64. I'll buy a Hydrogen powered Hummer someday, perhaps

Or a Hybrid Hummer that gets more than 30 MPG.

Then again, if you saw how I drive, you wouldn't want me driving a Hummer in your neighborhood...

[Ikonoklast]

46. I have been waiting for the fire sale to begin

on the larger SUVs. I only drive about twenty-five or so miles a week in my personal vehicle so fuel economy is not a big problem for me, and I hope to get one on the cheap.

My one pal does a lot of business with all the local car dealers, and they've been telling him that they can't move the used SUVs off the lot and are giving below pay-off value on trade-in.

[BlueStateBlue]

48. I like to think of the impending crash in Hummers' (and their ilk) prices

as an arrogance tax.

:rofl:

[Ikonoklast]

49. A lot of the people that bought a Hummer or dually pick-up

got a large tax break because of the weight limits and could have been classified as a commercial vehicle if bought for business use. I own and drive a real commercial vehicle for a living, and my fuel bill averages around $4800 a MONTH.

I get a big charge out of everyone piling on about people that drive a certain style of vehicle; my boss has three kids, a farm, pulls trailers, and drives a Yukon. It is the most useful vehicle that I could think of for his circumstances. Oh, by the way, he spent about $2000 more in diesel to plant his crops this spring. Wait a little bit, food prices are going to skyrocket in this country.

[Ian David]

86. There's a difference when they have commercial plates for a real purpose

Otherwise, this truck would be Public Enemy #1



Now, if instead of a Space Shuttle, I saw a pair of jet skis on the top, THEN I'd be annoyed.

[blondeatlast]

59. Touche!. Nice one. nt

[tabasco]

50. On the other hand ...

try finding an Echo or Prius for sale. Good Luck !!

LMAO at Hummer buyers - - - for the most part, limpdicks who never served, trying to be macho, playing soldier in their faux humvees.

I hope they enjoy driving it to the tune of $3 every tem miles.

Idiots.

[blondeatlast]

60. Prius in the parking lot at work; license plate frame says:

"Your Hunmmer sucks, my Prius sips.

I so want one, but don't have the funds as of yet.

:rofl:

[Ian David]

65. I love my Prius...

As one Du'er said, "I chose the Bumper Sticker Option."

[tabasco]

67. Find a used Echo. Not many around, but I got lucky.

I got mine before the gas prices started going through the roof.

I do mostly highway driving and get 50 mpg.

It is the first Japanese car I have owned and I am very happy with it.
It is not an expensive car but it is just put together better than any US car I owned.

[KG]

52. straight up - if you drive a hummer, you support terrorism.

[pstokely]

94. if you drive or use electricity, you support terrorism

hummer drivers are the biggest supporters of terrorism

[Ouabache]

53. You ought to go act serious about it, then low ball them a price

offer them $999 for it.

[brokensymmetry]

68. Hummers are for wimps. What I really want is....

With a fuel capacity of 175 gallons, and a range of 300 miles, I could sneer at mere hummer owners as I whipped out $500 per fill-up!

It's a perfect family vehicle too...you need a driver and a vehicle commander at least.

Also...it's perfect for those shopping trips to Costco, with a big drop-down door in the back.

Yes, this is THE vehicle we all need; the Bradley fighting vehicle!

:sarcasm:

[stevedeshazer]

83. Yo, now you're talking

After the rapture, when we can just go around picking up free stuff that the Raptured leave behind, I'd like one 'o these:



http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?article_id=1937§ion_id=14&page_number=1

[Ian David]

87. Isn't the Bradley the one they made the HBO movie about?

And isn't the aluminum one that bursts into flame and melts?

[brokensymmetry]

89. Right you are!

However, like any aspiring chickenhawk, I'm not about to expose my precious hide to enemy fire...so the aluminum shouldn't be an issue.

:D

[wellst0nev0ter]

71. Man, I'd Pay Any Amount Of Money

If you could take a picture of it. The metaphor of such a photo would rival the "morans" freeper rally pic.

[Swamp Rat]

72. GOOD!

I hope NOBOBY buys it!

[fortyfeetunder]

74. If the Hummer owners want to afford driving their rigs...

then they should ask the armed forces recruitment center for a tour over to the Middle East and fight for cheap oil!

[Flubadubya]

75. Oops, wrong post.

[jazzjunkysue]

81. Which answers the question: Exactly how dumb are B*** voters?

Dumb enough to buy it and smart enough to figure out that it costs more than a weekly paycheck at Walmart just for the gas.

[Ian David]

88. It would make sense for drug dealers to own them

From what I understand, they do a fair job of stopping handgun bullets.

Anyone else has no real business with them.

Also, there's at least one Hummer Stretch Limo that I saw somewhere, too.

[jazzjunkysue]

95. A metaphor for american excess.....It's vile

[gatorboy]

91. People were fools to by this thing anyway.

It's a friggin' Bronco for Christ's sale with a Hummer shell on it.
