Ladies and Gentlemen...ElectricSavant is going to buy a Hummer tomorrow morning

  1. You worked for it. You earned it. That is a concept totally foreign to a lot of people today. You don't have to apologize to anyone on this forum. A lot of people like to take the inspiration of what is possible such as what you have achieved, and turn it into a negative. How can one achieve anything by being negative?

    ES, don't forget to buy stock, I mean carbon offsets, from Al Gore's Generation Investment Management (AlGore's Investment Generation), a company that he founded. That should cut down on the other negative posts.

  2. Funny, Romik!

    I have always maintained that Land Rovers are superior to Hummer's both on and off road.

    regards,

    IMHO Hummer seriously lacks ability off-road, I would have thought that the vast majority of people that buy them do so entirely for the looks/presence & assume that it should be a great off-roader. Where's a Land Rover (in the video that one was a Range Rover) will do unbelievable things off-road & has the reputation of a very durable machine.

    Here is a Range Rover vs Hummer vs Escalade (LOL):

  4. Quite interesting that 70% of the Land Rovers are still on the road today from inception...that is impressive indeed...

    but I like them too! and I like Europe too! I lived there for 6 years...as a permanent resident! Australia and New Zealand are British Colony's....and some of the folks seem to carry a little animosity towards the good ol' USA...but not a problem for me...I simply nod my head and move on from those conversations...

    perhaps I love cars too much and must look within...

    It's just a car to get from point A to point B...believe me, I understand this...

    I am enjoying the Hummer H2 immensley and it is a beautiful machine to look at...I shined it up....and again am having some fun...I do not seem to grow bored of it yet...which is a good sign for me...just can't find the right place to put on the woodgrain contact paper...:)

  5. great videos, Romik. i am now on my 5th land rover product--- 1 discovery, 4 range rovers since 1999. I can't say enough good things about them---i have traversed swamps, hills and rocky slopes as well as many highways/cities--- and the rover has always gotten me home in style and supreme comfort.

    surf:)



    ps. annaland disagrees with me, but......:D

    Given the state of our planet, I don't know if I would be proudly announcing on a web site that I just took ownership of an H2. If it was my call, the damn things should be banned from the street. Take up far too much room, and use far too much fuel.

    And you are a Christian who believes that your heart lies where your treasure is?

    Quite a disconnect. You might want to do a little thinking about that one.
