I have been looking at the prices of H2's since last year and have not seen a sudden spike in prices but I may be missing some certain market so I am not saying it is not true. I know they are having some decent financing on Hummer's but it does not seem to help, not does the cheap gas.

I remember many years back watching the cartoon Gullivers Travels. There was a little guy called Glum, a tiny tiny, guy, he was part of the lilliputians... Gulliver (the giant) was once tied down and when he broke loose he got up mad and started pulling trees out of the ground and chucking them as the little people were running in different directions. Glum just sat there and didn't run, I don't know if he was just depressed or as his name suggests gloomy.. But, I will never forget his quote, he just looked at the camera and said, "We're in enough trouble as it is already, why throw trees"...

I'm not exactly sure why I just wrote this but I just had to share that one, I love that one...
