My 1959 Cadillac Coupe De Ville, 1960 Plymouth Fury, 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, 1967 Cadillac De Ville Convertible all got worse gas mileage then that Hummer by the way.
I bet you didn`t know that.

yeah, sure...it shows you have money. awesome job on THAT. ...but people who buy hummers=everything thats wrong with america.

The one that Alex used to own and now this one can be had for 30-50 grand.
The new Honda Accord with all the options costs that much.

30-50 grand is alot of money to spend on a car. ...although i guess you could be in the average salary range and have a vehicle of that price if you dont have much living expenses, are single, and got it financed.
besides the point....
i dont like people who buy hummers. or trucks. or anything that is needlessly gas inefficient or uselessly oversized or a symbol of supposed "status"

I don`t care what anyone does or does not do with their money as long as they are not harming anyone else.
There are not enough Hummers made to constitute a problem in the climate crisis. Furthermore, being that gas is as high as it is, those with these types of cars do not drive as much, thus cutting down on the overall Carbon usage.
The mass produced car, driven by the hourly commuter by the thousands is the real strain on the planet. Not the specialty vehicles.

abortion is not a issue that can be debated in absolute terms...up untill the third term, its just a gob of cells. after that it does seem to be a human life.
one must answer the question of when exactly a life begins in the legal sense; not the religious sense. you cannot form law simply out of what the reigious sentiment is.
i believe there is a test available now that can scan the fetus to see if the brain cells are actively working; thus meaning that the thought processes are beginning to take shape. it is theorized that this normally takes place mid third trimester. i think that this would be a great way to determine if it is too late to legally get an aborton performed.

Yes it is!
Try cutting out a fetus and see what happens.

I enjoy it, it runs on biodiesel and I get about 12-15mpg (obviously nobody understands diesel).
Why is it "all that is wrong with America"? How is it different as hobby from a 50k water boat?

yesterday there was a drive by shooting in my town. the victims shot wounds were fatal.
this one death does very little actualy damage to human life as a whole on planet earth.
the real dangers to humanity come in the form of genocides, mass disease, poverty, and war.

Do you make your own Bio-Diesel? Its not that difficult to do as long as you have the equipment.
You can eventually convert it to Vegetable Oil totally if you want. Rudolph Diesel designed the diesel engine to do just that.
I think you should do it. You will get a significant Horsepower increase and longevity out of that engine.

the hummer in and of itself is not all thats wrong with america.
you buying it...the mindset and motivations behind your buying it..your general attitude towards the environment, our country, nonrenewable fossil fuels, and life in general.... = everything wrong with america.

Unfortunately being a scientist, I have to agree on that.
Newton's type of efforts to break ignorance are an endless battle.

Nice Truck though Alex.
Sorry if I was a bit of a smartass earlier. You did make it clear earlier that these Hummers are affordable to those willing to spend the money.

Alex put a nice 350 in it. It will run a ton better. I didn't really look but did it have CTIS. What year is that. My old business partner had a beautiful open just like that but with the chrome package on it. This was back in 93' They were sights back then. We went to Beverly Hills to eat and everyone just pointed and took pictures. It was fire engine red i have a pic somewhere i will scan. Those back then were to small inside in regards to leg room. They really are a blast to drive though. We had a company back then called Hooya Hummer.

yeah. fuck the environment. who gives a shit!!?? its only the habitat upon which the human race depends on to exist.
your delusions of being above the environment and not part of the earths ecosystem do yourself no good.
human beings are totally natural creatures.
we are animals...in the most basic sense.
if you took a step back and examined how we live and how we treat this planet form a third person, well from an alien point of view...
you would understand.

Candizzle does not realize that when he was a pure fat ass, he was eating so much, that the Carbon that was needed to produce all of his food, truly outweighs the total Carbon expenditure of the Hummer you drive.
Furthermore, if he is eating high protien diet now, he is continuing the same fault. He is polluting more than the Hummer in effect.

i know you, alex.
i read you, and everyone, like a book. i read one of your posts and i can sense, feel, see your motivations, desires, intentions, and beliefs pouring out through it.

How do we know that he does not offset his Carbon footprint by making up in other ways, such as Ecobulbs or walking when it is convenient? You point the finger so easily, just like those who try to fault Al Gore for travelling in a jet. What do you expect?

I am eating too much protein?
adonis you dont know jack shit about nutrition.
your whole set of principles is just "a calorie is a calorie" but with a different name.
your an ignorant douchebag.
hope this helps.

Again, you are just echoing the one you are trying to chastize, candizzle.
Al Gore DOES NOT own a private jet. He charters one. The GulfStream V which is THE MOST EFFICENT JET that is charterable. Do you expect him to walk to China?
Futhermore, he offsets his Carbon totally. His FARM is HUGE, but it uses WAY LESS CARBON than a house the same size if it wasn`t green.
You need to look at the facts.

your republican talking points are so scripted its not even funny.
just stop it.
your giving true conservatives a bad name and you dont even know it.
go back to watching bill o'reilly, and praising false conservative politicians.
adn the sad part is... your argument had nothing at all do with what i was saying. not really.
i would have voted for george w bush over john kerry in 2004 anyways.

Hahaha Thanks onlyme.
I have both the Runflats and the CTIS sytem. It's a 1998, the quintessential year of the Hummer. Leg size; the "cockpit" hasn't changed, kinda uncomfortable ;D. Can't be tour only vehicle unless you just drive around. It had LCD in the headrest & all the street queen crap but I'll probably take it out.
I actually looked at a couple of gasser with the 350. It drives like a U-Haul; 0-60 in 45 sec so it's a drag. The only solution is to supercharge the 350 which cranks it to 450hp then you're good to go but make about 7MPG and make the queers who posted above dance like ferries then cry.
The 6.5TD has plenty of juice @ 290hp and 450lb of torque. I've change the injection pump and all the lines which allows me to run biodiesel.
Yea and it is fire engine red ;D. The yellow ones like Ron Coleman are for pussies 8)

i would not echo if i yelled inside a cavern.
your self confidence can be a great asset for you adonis. but you have to realize your potential by applying your intelligence FIRST.
as of right now you are full of false confidence.
but you can convert that to fully supported self contentment with a little bit of work.

Adonis, don't waste your breath arguing with this tool. He is a high school dropout who works two jobs, one at a fast food restaurant and one as a part-time message courier. He aims high in life, as you can see ::) I think his bitterness against the wealthy stems from the realization that he will never be anything more than a lower middle class schmoe.

Want to help the planet? Eat a salad
Gidon Eshel (left) and Pamela Martin, both Assistant Professors in Geophysical Sciences and the College, have studied food production to measure how much food production processes burn fossil fuel that creates greenhouse gas emissions. They looked at production for five different diets, finding that a vegan diet is the healthiest for the planet. Together they prepare a salad for lunch in their lab.
The food that people eat is just as important as what kind of cars they drive when it comes to creating the greenhouse-gas emissions that many scientists have linked to global warming, according to a report published in the April issue of the journal Earth Interactions.
Both the burning of fossil fuels during food production and non-carbon dioxide emissions associated with livestock and animal waste contribute to the problem, the University’s Gidon Eshel and Pamela Martin wrote in the report.
The average American diet requires the production of an extra ton and a half of carbon dioxide-equivalent, in the form of actual carbon dioxide as well as methane and other greenhouse gases compared to a strictly vegetarian diet, according to Eshel and Martin. Cutting down on just a few eggs or hamburgers each week is an easy way to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, they said.
“We neither make a value judgment, nor do we make a categorical statement,” said Eshel, an Assistant Professor in Geophysical Sciences and the College. “We say that however close you can be to a vegan diet and further from the mean American diet, the better you are for the planet. It doesn’t have to be all the way to the extreme end of vegan. If you simply cut down from two burgers a week to one, you’ve already made a substantial difference.”
The average American drives 8,322 miles by car annually, emitting 1.9 to 4.7 tons of carbon dioxide, depending on the vehicle model and fuel efficiency. Meanwhile, Americans also consume an average of 3,774 calories of food each day.
In 2002, energy used for food production accounted for 17 percent of all fossil fuel used in the United States. And the burning of these fossil fuels emitted three-quarters of a ton of carbon dioxide per person. That alone amounts to approximately one-third the average greenhouse-gas emissions of personal transportation. But livestock production and associated animal waste also emit greenhouse gases not associated with fossil-fuel combustion, primarily methane and nitrous oxide.
“An example would be manure lagoons that are associated with large-scale pork production,” Eshel said. “Those emit a lot of nitrous oxide into the atmosphere.”
While methane and nitrous oxide are relatively rare compared with carbon dioxide, they are—molecule for molecule—far more powerful greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide. A single pound of methane, for example, has the same greenhouse effect as approximately 25 pounds of carbon dioxide.
In their study, Eshel and Martin compared the energy consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions that underlie five diets: red meat, fish, poultry, vegetarian (including eggs and dairy) and the average American diet, which consists of a little bit of everything, all equaling 3,774 calories per day. Some of the food containing these calories is discarded rather than eaten.
The strict vegetarian diet turned out to be the most energy-efficient, followed by poultry and the average American diet. Fish and red meat virtually tied as the least efficient.
The impact of producing fish came as the study’s biggest surprise to Martin, an Assistant Professor in Geophysical Sciences and the College. “Fish can be from one extreme to the other,” Martin said. Sardines and anchovies flourish near coastal areas and can be harvested with minimal energy expenditure. But swordfish and other large predatory species require energy-intensive long-distance voyages.
Martin and Eshel’s research indicated that plant-based diets are healthier for people as well as for the planet.
“The adverse effects of dietary animal fat intake on cardiovascular diseases is by now well established. Similar effects are also seen when meat, rather than fat, intake is considered,” Martin and Eshel wrote. “To our knowledge, there is currently no credible evidence that plant-based diets actually undermine health; the balance of available evidence suggests that plant-based diets are at the very least just as safe as mixed ones, and most likely safer.”
In their next phase of research, Eshel and Martin will examine the energy expenditures associated with small organic farms, to see if they offer a healthier planetary alternative to large agribusiness companies. Such farms typically provide the vegetables sufficient to support 200 to 300 families on plots of five to 10 acres.
“We’re starting to investigate whether you can downscale food production and be efficient that way,” Martin said.

We weren`t designed for one. We Evolved.
We also did not Evolve to eat High Protein diets. You overconsume. You still overconsume.
You emit more Carbon by your diet than Alex23 does by using Biodiesel, which is made by nearly cutting all Carbon, so the usage negates the effect.
You don`t know a thing about the environment. Keep polluting by eating your diet. You don`t even realize it. You are doing this all by choice. A forest fire is not a choice.

Actually slaming both "design" and "evolving" in the same sentence and make sense out of it was quick-witted ;D

The ID`ers are hillariously backwards.
I picked up an intersting theory in an evolutionary biology book the other day about diet compositions.
The theory pretty much suggests that going back to pre agricultural era it's easy to explain why the body reacts the way it does on "low carb"/"high protein diet":
When environmental disasters occurred, the first thing out of the omnivore diet is the animal / high protein, forcing humans to "switch" to a herbivore diet and promote storage; seeing such a diet as a period of "restriction". On the other hand, full blown over proteinated diet meant a period of abundance where no storage is necessary. However, this produced an enzymatic imbalance in the less "evolved" humans therefore causing early deaths ;D

That alone amounts to approximately one-third the average greenhouse-gas emissions of personal transportation. But livestock production and associated animal waste also emit greenhouse gases not associated with fossil-fuel combustion, primarily methane and nitrous oxide.
“An example would be manure lagoons that are associated with large-scale pork production,” Eshel said. “Those emit a lot of nitrous oxide into the atmosphere.”
While methane and nitrous oxide are relatively rare compared with carbon dioxide, they are—molecule for molecule—far more powerful greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide. A single pound of methane, for example, has the same greenhouse effect as approximately 25 pounds of carbon dioxide.
In their study, Eshel and Martin compared the energy consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions that underlie five diets: red meat, fish, poultry, vegetarian (including eggs and dairy) and the average American diet, which consists of a little bit of everything, all equaling 3,774 calories per day. Some of the food containing these calories is discarded rather than eaten.
The strict vegetarian diet turned out to be the most energy-efficient, followed by poultry and the average American diet. Fish and red meat virtually tied as the least efficient.
The impact of producing fish came as the study’s biggest surprise to Martin, an Assistant Professor in Geophysical Sciences and the College. “Fish can be from one extreme to the other,” Martin said. Sardines and anchovies flourish near coastal areas and can be harvested with minimal energy expenditure. But swordfish and other large predatory species require energy-intensive long-distance voyages.
Martin and Eshel’s research indicated that plant-based diets are healthier for people as well as for the planet.
“The adverse effects of dietary animal fat intake on cardiovascular diseases is by now well established. Similar effects are also seen when meat, rather than fat, intake is considered,” Martin and Eshel wrote. “To our knowledge, there is currently no credible evidence that plant-based diets actually undermine health; the balance of available evidence suggests that plant-based diets are at the very least just as safe as mixed ones, and most likely safer.”
In their next phase of research, Eshel and Martin will examine the energy expenditures associated with small organic farms, to see if they offer a healthier planetary alternative to large agribusiness companies. Such farms typically provide the vegetables sufficient to support 200 to 300 families on plots of five to 10 acres.
“We’re starting to investigate whether you can downscale food production and be efficient that way,” Martin said.
DOn't green plants produce oxygen. I always thought that. If we all eat salads we would have less oxygen ;D

nice truck... you have to drive it up for Redman homecoming weekend... it'll be a hit ;D
-
Hahahahaha.....while we're at it, lets just kill all of the cows, according to Lib report they fart too much thus giving off too much methane gas and effecting the ozone layer

very cool, you must have a tiny dick. ;D
Dude ! Stop worrying a dick all of the time ...Start worrying about pussy,and how you can get some !

Brutal way of Killing the mood of my thread.
I enjoy it, it runs on biodiesel and I get about 12-15mpg (obviously nobody understands diesel).
Why is it "all that is wrong with America"? How is it different as hobby from a 50k water boat?
Dude ..It's just jealousy... You could have purchased a Bentley...The cheap one is $180,000 !! But still... you would have gotten ragged on for not purchasing the $280,000.00 one? It's just hate.. Hot truck...Who the fuck wants to drive around in an ugly Tank? Who wants to have an ugly piece of shit ,just sitting in their garage?

The same Hummer is on EBAY for $26,000
That is more the going price. Because the H1 Hummer has been discontinued, the prices have been dropping like bird shit. Especially ones that have been used. Combined that with the price of gas and the negative press---one could be had for the price of a used 2005 Honda Accord.

It's actually the opposite. Price has been going up steadily for the past 12 months.

Classic ;D

hahahahhahaha! Nice ride. You should considering marketing "Sevastase" air fresheners to all the queers on Getbig. Probably make a cool mill.

Hahaha exactly...
Nailing the right "smell" will be the hard part ;D

Yes Alex, you seem like the type to drive that Hummer H1. In orange, no less. What a douchebag. ;)

Hahaha exactly...
Nailing the right "smell" will be the hard part ;D
goat shit comes to mind ;D

hahahah We kinda nailed "Romanian garlic & Dirty needle" earlier ;)

Why can't you have Vince Goodrum as an air freshner?

'cause it stains the windshield when rocking back and forward.

West coast and East prices must be different. Funny thing, in Michigan you will see so many H2's it like they breed them. Well the plant is right there, and they don't cast as much than they would on either coast.

A dude at my gym's parking lot last year had a black Bentley Continental GT, a dude with a M6 was ragging on him one night, calling the car a overpriced VW (which it is--VW engine, Audi interior and running gear). The Bentley was about 170k, the M6 about 110K. The Bentley dude called the dude jealous. Well, They had a race, the dude in the M6 blew the doors off the Bentley (better hp/weight ratio). Now, I hear Bentley dude has a M6 now :-\

It's the same here with the H2's. Keep in mind they're 2 totally different vehicles. The H2 is pretty much a suburban platform with a different body.
The H1 is a collector's item.

I was thinking the same thing!
