2.39 here 
I said screw it and got a nicer bike my 2004 honda civic currently sits in my driveway.... Inflation is crap.... The prices of gas keep going up and up and up and up and my pay stays the same and doesnt budge..... Not that pay is really related to inflation... But if the prices of gas keep going up the oil companys will eventually get slapped in the face

I also heard about the stick-em up day may 19th through e-mail
Good idea but I don't think it's possible.

bang: thats what im talking about. how many soccer moms do you know who need a semi to haul their kids around. some of these suv's can hold 9 adults comfortably. 9!!!!!!!!! people are not buying these vehicles because they need them but because they are a status symbol. ive started keying and placing bumperstickers on large suv's (escalade, hummer, ect.) so if you own a large suv and you live in southern ohio watch out!

Thumbs up! Look at the fuel economy of the average vehicle on the road now... compared to what it was a decade ago. The supply hasn't gone up by an equally high percentage(to my knowledge)... plus we did lose 25% of the dollars value on the currency exchanges lately...
Increased demand, the dollar is worth less, the supply's not much higher..... price has to go up. No big deal for us who don't have gas guzzlers, but I do feel sorry for the truckers, traveling workers, etc. who this will directly hit and will have a hard time passing the cost on to their customers.

I have a Yukon Denali: What about the people who have them for reasons like myself? I have to haul music equipment for shows as well as I own a boat and need something large to pull it. I'd be pretty pissed if somebody keyed it! I don't think vandalism is the answer.

Actually, if you think a little more on the Soccer Moms I believe they are the exception. A 9 passenger vehicle for carpooling is a great thing. Much better than 8 seperate vehicles to buzz the kids around to all their games....
soccer moms belong in minivans, not hummers and other large obnoxious suvs.

soccer moms do belong in mini-vans. bang i agree that car pooling is great but said soccer moms only car pool.... NEVER. i see all of the time yuppie PUNKS! dropping two kids off at the field with their semi-trucks and zipping off to some yuppie cono. LOOK. you drive an suv (large) you deserve to DIE. im not joking and on this subject i refuse to step down. you are ruining the enviornment for what? the chance to get on the lake with you 20 ft. boat that pumps more poluttion in the air? there are so few legit reasons for owning one of these bohemouths that i would bet less than ten people on this board "need" one. they are more dangerous to the enviornment, other drivers on the road, and themselves. IWILL VANDALISE ANY AND ALL THAT I SEE!!!!
i understand that this is illegal and not nice and un-cool but im fed UP!!!

What about the people with 800 watts of lights on their aquariums, is that really any different :thinking: Theres alot of things compounding into the environments degradation... remember too though that huge humvee is probally more environmentally safe than cars from the 50's, 60's, 70's, and part of the eighties.....

envirnmentally safe compared to what? hummers use more gas than a lot of the gas hogs of that era. besides if we can make a car that IS better. why would we not use it.
i have two more points then i done
1. hummers DO have their place in this world.... on the battle field.
2. the only reason that people are buying hummers is for class. these people should be shot.... they are not worth my time.

Joerdie,
you didn't look beyond my reason of a boat did you? I also have a business I run and my lights, equipment would not fit in a car. Yes, the SUV isn't as effecient as a Neon, but it helps me pursue my carreer and even have a day of fishing at the lake. Not to mention, I carpool 5 people in it on a regular basis.
I was a science major with ecology, environmental and marine emphasis. The global warming cannot be proved because we have only been keeping records for a century. The earth goes through many changes where temperatures flexuate up and down and then even ice ages. According to articles I've read lately the hole in the ozone has now split and is two small holes and is shrinking. Not to mention how much pollution the Earch experiences by natural causes. Wildfires, Volcanoes, and a big polluter "Cows" with a huge Methane release which is way more harmful than Co2.
If you really want to slam someone about Earth pollution, slam your own Government. They have a wonderful project going on right now called H.A.A.R.P that blast the stratisphere with more watts of Energy than you can imagine. Research it.
I bet you have eaten at McDonalds? I bet you have left your airconditioner running when you arn't in the house and don't need it. It's hypocritical to slam only SUV's. Americans are by far the biggest consumers and we waste a lot of resources. McDonalds throws away more good food than you can imagine not to mention increases Methane levels by encouraging more Cows to be Raised. By leaving your AC on you are wasting Coal and promoting CO2 pollution by the burning of Coal. Bottom line, until we put the rich Bankers who control the oil out of business. I don't see our country switching over to more effecient fuel systems anytime soon.

Pull that stunt in Detroit toughguy and you will get shot.
Pull that in my driveway and you may get shot should you pull a gun, but you definitely will get beat senseless.
You don't know what people do with their cars, do you?
What a fool, mods boot this guy please.
The feds keep a file on what you say on the internet and your IP address FURTHER proving your intelligence level.
If insurance on cars was a hundred bucks then YES I would own a honda civic and a SUV, but it is not and cars are not cheap so rather then rent a truck every weekend I choose to own one. Is that OK with you?

Amen Brother! I don't drive an SUV and never have. They are not really my thing, but I do like the Escalade.
Nothing worse than a person who would destroy someone elses property. If I did own an SUV and caught you keying it, you would be deep throating my 9mm and pissing your pants wondering if the crazy and insane stare in my eyes were the last thing you were going to see before pleading your case to the almighty. When I was in law enforcement, it made me sick to have to write reports for people who had their cars keyed. I did respond once to a disturbance where someone was caught keying a car by a group of guys who were not even the owner. He was relieved when I showed up, but quite surprised when I stood there and let them kick his ass for a few more minutes and he was the only one that got arrested. Made my F'n night.
Hey mods, I agree. Kick this moron or better yet. Grab his IP address and forward it to the Police Department where he lives in Ohio. If he is indeed keying SUVs, it will make them very happy.
Cow farts! Now that is what's destroying our planet and I'm proud to say I do my part in prevention. I eat cow everyday.

I drive my SUV proudly! I also need it. I drive through deep snow and couldn't get to work in a car with a low profile and no 4wd. I don't drive a gas gussler, I get about 20-25miles to the gal. here in town and up to 30 if I leave the mountain and drive amongst the flat-landers. I have small kids and we carpool with Nursery School so I also need to fit 3 car seats in my back seat. I don't have a huge suburban or a status symbol, just a moderate SUV. It's a whole lot better than the bronco my mom used in car pool when I was a kid nearly 30 years ago.
