Is the Hummer classified as an SUV or a Truck

[Planogirl]

All I know is that these vehicles and all big SUV's in fact love to park next to my little car. I can't count the number of times I find it hidden behind some enormous tank.

A travesty of consumerism and disregard for the environment.

Fine, keep buying a Prius. More gas for us SUV owners.

And this is coming from a die-hard republican (who happens to want a hybrid).

Gotta love capitalism, don't ya? Thank god this country still allows me over-indulge and "waste" resources. The more people that buy fuel-efficient cars, the more gas for me and my big ones.

Well see my feelings on the environment come from a higher source. Sure capitalism is great, but I believe God entrusted us to take care of what He gave us, including natural resources.

I would classify it as 'obnoxious'. I certainly don't believe in outlawing them, people should be able to drive whatever they want, and tanks are great things for soldiers to drive on duty. However, I think they look ridiculous going 20 through a subdivision in suburbia and I probably wouldn't be able to stop myself from rolling my eyes and shaking my head if it came down my street. Right before it rolled over me that is.

LOL.....I didn't know some of us are so passionate about Hummers!

I think they're cool looking and they are very SAFE!

An H2 is nothing close to the original Hummer. An H2 is merely a scaled replica (outside) of the original built on a GM truck frame.

So much for that safe thing.

I don't like the Hummers. I don't like the way they look.

But, I certainly do LOVE my SUV.

I have a Chevy Blazer and so does my DH. I wouldn't drive anything but an SUV. Mainly because I can't get up my driveway without 4-wheel drive in the winter.

But, I would still drive my SUV even without the driveway scenario. My mother drives a small car (I affectionately call it "the rollerskate") and I hate getting into it and out of it and the mirrors are tiny and everything feel miniaturized.

It only costs me $20. to fill my tank every other day, too (DH and I carpool and we have an hour's commute each way). I get good mileage with my Blazer.

Good mileage and blazer should never be in the same sentence.
