Cars were meant to drive, not wreck.

This is just stupid. The earth warms, it has to, if we didn't' we would still be in the ice age. I don't think we are causing global warming though. Also, I didn't correct your spelling.

What was this supposed to mean? Please tell me how you are American, which is capitalized by the way, I would love to know.

What the F--- is wrong with you !By the way where was that p.o.s. Geo made...
Do you honestly get 16MPG? I would like to see some numbers, preferably backed up numbers. Yes, it is a 1/2 ton pickup, i'm not arguing that point. But most people that buy a 1/2 ton don't commute in it like H2 drivers do. You are arguing two cars, biasing more towards the H3. The H2 does not get 16mpg, but plenty of 1/2 trucks are able to do that.

2. Take your Metro up the 2 1/2 mile unpaved road to my cabin after a rain and then tell me how well that worked for you. No problem I'll pull you out with my un-American rig.

3. For the record, I may regard some Hummer drivers as foolish for turning their offroad machines into pavement bling queens. But I sure feel it's their right to a) do whatever the heck foolish thing they want to and b)ignore my silly opinion if they want to.

4. Unless you have served in our military and effectively signed a blank check to the US government promising to support and defend the Constitution in an amount up to and including your life - then I really am not interested in your opinion of the anti-American activity of Hummer drivers.

I would respond in a less polite fashion, but you are simply not worth the trouble.
Not a troll, well technically yes, but I did not start this thread as a true "troll" would.
1. I can agree, but I would like to see the "off road" you need to handle. An F150 or Sliverado could probably handle it.
2. I am not arguing the "need" for your car, I am talking to the people that commute in it.
2b. I would like to see you drive a half mile across the lake in front of my house and tell me how that goes. No problem, I can call the rescue squad.
3. (wasn't directed towards me)
4. Can't exactly join the military, I have a heart problem.

Find me a car that gets 56mpg on the highway made in the US, and I will buy it. Also, cars are meant to drive, not crash.

You've played a good hand here, but I haven't shown you all my cards.
Where does our oil come from?

Prius and Metro are part of the problem, not the solution!
30 miles is a hard walk/bike in 30 degree temps. I don't have any trains/buses that would take me where I need to go...or even close.

I am not talking about polluting. I don't drive a Prius, I didn't even mention hyrbids. I do want to know where you are getting these numbers from.
