Hummer Under Fire - Literally

[GoW]

WASHINGTON - On a narrow, leafy street in Northwest Washington, where Prius hybrid cars and Volvos are the norm, one man bought a flashy gray Hummer that was too massive to fit in his garage.

So he parked the seven-foot-tall behemoth on the street in front of his house and smiled politely when his eco-friendly neighbors looked on in disapproval at his "dream car."

It lasted five days on the street before two masked men took a bat to every window, a knife to each 38-inch tire and scratched into the body: "FOR THE ENVIRON."

did anyone see that top gear video when they cruised to alabama?

[ricebowl]

lol that's jokes. saw some car show on tv, it said that the energy used and pollution caused to make a environmentally friendly/green car was greater than what it cost to make a hummer.

Awesome! Hopefully he gets the message!

It's completely wrong and if it were my dream car I would be incredibly distraught and angry.


I'm a little ashamed to admit though that I'm secretly cheering for the people who did it. :O

Lol @ the part where Jeremy finds a dead cow and brings it back, and the hillbillies (or were they? Can't recall correctly) started threatening and chasing them, including the camera crew.

Awesome! Hopefully he gets the message!

That he should drive a Prius instead?
If he wants to drive his Hummer, let him. What gives those ecofreaks the right to vandalise his vehicle? They wouldn't like it if that happened to their 'environmental friendly' vehicles. Jerks that need a shank in the face.

I smell a lawsuit...

[corrupt123]

Did he lift it? Or buy an H1? I dont remember a Hummer being 7' tall. Even the 38" wheels seem like military issue.

Too bad now the hummer will be written off and be gone to the junk yard. Waste of materials. Nice going enviorment guys.

No, but anything else is better then the worse gas guzzling vehicle in the world! Not to mention those things are small in the inside for how big they are. Ever been in one?

i wonder did those environmental bafoons pick up the glass after they smashed the windows?
after all... That glass probably takes a long time to biodegrade.

Man, I'm getting vibes that this is gonna turn into a pollution argument.

glass is a fairly environmentally friendly product.

Not literally

glass is a fairly environmentally friendly product.

Tempered glass (polyvinyl butyral polymer embedded) can not be recycled by normal means nor does it ever degrade.

Broken windshields are almost always headed for the landfill... Only very specialized places can recover the glass from them.
