What do u "people of nam" think Hummer owners are compensating for?

 

small brains? or big wallets?

 

lack of power.

 

Lack of driving skills.

 

small deck size and their wood is flimsy and narrow!!!!

 

Maybe they just live somewhere with big mountains heavy snowfall, and they happen to need the capabilities of an H1.

As far as the wannabee hummers (H2, H3), it was covered in another thread that got locked, it seemed as though they fit the "image" the owner was going for as they wanted to be "cool" and not care about the cost of gas. The scary part is the "image" they portray as their advertising says if you don't get what you want get an H2 and run over anybody you don't like, sounds like catering to spoiled children.

 

Please ... if you want to bash Hummers, do it here https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ht=car+bashing

Trying to get all the car bashing together to get stats!!!

please

 

Uhhh nothing?

 

My theory is that most people are morons but some people choose to announce it by driving ridiculous cars such as a Hummer. It’s not only the advertising campaign that essentially says, “I’m not gonna get pushed around and let people kick sand in my face anymore,” which appeals to the Napoleon complex of the majority who buy them, but the absolute sense of entitlement in their disproportionate use of non-renewable resources and disregard for our environment. The fact that they can “afford” to buy gas for their six-mile-a-gallon behemoth doesn’t entitle them to leverage the future of our children and other creatures we share this planet with.

 

For all SUV bashing, please go HERE.

And if your going to make insulting claims about the hummer, at least get your facts right...

 

chows4us and qwertmonkey...

Give up. Seriously. People can and will continue to express their opinions on SUVs (positive or negative) in this forum, in any thread. This is Off-Topic:Autos, and trying to force people into one thread for SUV bashing is a pointless goal. It just isn't going to happen.

Let it go - freedom of expression! Just as long as NAM Guidelines aren't being broken (particularly personal attacks against other NAM members or discussion of political candidates), none of the mods are going to force it.

 

Im looking for stats and it looks like the Aztec is winning, not SUVs. Of course ppl will continue to bash whatever, wherever .... I just want the numbers. I'm actually surprised that there used to be a lot of P-car bashing and none are showing up in the stats.

Sure, bash away wherever. I'm still looking to get numbers across the community to see the real sentiments from different people because a lot of time, they are not freely given unless you give them the opportunity to freely open up. Thats why I did it. Some ppl already expressed that they felt better having a place to get it out of their systems where they probably wouldn't have before. Thats cool.

 

Your past attempts to end the bashing in other threads by redirecting them to that thread led me to believe otherwise. The "stats" reasoning sounded like an excuse... my apologies if you were serious about that.

SUV bashing (or Aztec bashing, or anything else) isn't going away anytime soon, and just as I have come to accept that there will continue to be some people who want a pointless MMC number, perhaps you'll come to realize it's a fruitless exercise to funnel all SUV bashing to one place.

 

that lead many members of one group to villify the members of another related, yet different group!

Let's see, I wonder why all those Mini owners get clown cars with old iron block/roots blower/single cam technology? Is it because they're only interested in image?

I don't agree with this, but it makes a point. People buy vehicles because of a mix of need and desire. Mini or Hummer, it doesn't make a difference. The implcation that one is wrong and one is right is more disturbing than the fact that someone may buy a car and not use it for it's optimal use case.

I guess what I wonder is why is there an assumption that someone is compensating for anything when that person makes a different purchase dicision?

I bought my H2 because everybody on MTV Cribs had one. I wanted to be like the celebrities. And don't worry I can afford it and the gas because I took a second mortgage out on my house. I even bought some 26 inch rims with spinners! And for you haters out there I have a 32 gallon gas tank, yea thats right, 32! So I can go really far even though I only get 10 - 14 mpg (but GM doesn't publish the fuel economy ratings although I'm really not sure why...).

And its not MY car that is the problem in using too much oil, one car isn't going to make a difference! This is America, I'm free to do whatever I want! So if I want a big SUV I can have it! To hell with the costs on society! Its called freedom people! Besides I need my Hummer. Sometimes here in DC we get like 6 inches of snow and no other car could possibly get me around town...

And finally, I'm not over compensating for anything. My girlfriend told me that size doesn't matter...

 

If you can't believe what they say on MTV, who can you believe?

 

MORE POWER TO YA BABY!

Oh, and for th whole MPG thing, the Hummer is in a class of vehicle that does not require the manufacture to post the fuel consumption. As the saying goes, what they dont know won't hurt 'em.

 

Ignorance is bliss, until it kills you!

(Just stirring up the bee's nest, if some feels they can justify driving a Hummer then by all means let them enjoy it, I only ask the same for my MINI)

 

weak. my legacy did 8inches no problem.

 

these threads never seem to go anywhere productive....
