Mac, I won't reply further to this issue, but if you think that it's OK to make these kind of comments behind the privacy of closed doors, you're wrong. It's unacceptable to make these kind of comments, so don't tell me to "take it easy." I'm a transplanted Northerner, who wound up living in the South, and I'm exposed to ignorant bigotry every day, and I don't accept it, and I won't. Part time bad behaviour is just as bad as full time bad behaviour.I don't understand the second paragraph of your post, where you say that you're "sick and tired of being so careful to the point of being scared or afraid of even talking to close friends. Any good intentioned remark about race or religion could be misinterpreted." Do you find something good intentioned in a comment like "anyone in their white mind?"
IF you only behave decently when you're, as you say, "looking over our shoulders to see if ACLU, NAACP or Jewish league or NOW or whatever other self-appointed institutions maybe watching", that's not enough!!
As to your French dinner, if you were making comments that couldn't be printed, when you were talking/joking about certain race, I find it amusing that you let yourself off the hook by saying that none of you are racists. Exactly what do you think racists are???....because people who sit around joking about someone's race pretty well qualify as racists to me!!!!!!!

Buckeye....
Your reverence for the H2 is laudable, but borders on the pathological.
And whereas disagreements can be fun in these forums, you've decided to make this into a personal issue. So, hell, sport, if ya wanna dance THAT dance, I am down
Lets cut to the chase...you're a hypoctrite...a pathological hypocrite, at that.
You suggest that your business is above reproach..essentially, you define the ethical execution of a business....yet you are more than willing to attack my ethics. That is simply juvenile, as well as hypoctrical.
Your "public" standards are apparently inconsistent with your "personal" standards...because in here, where you have the protection of anonymity, and therefore dont have to subscribe to what you define as superior business ethics, you're more than willing to make this a personal issue, and insult me personally.
Bad form, Willis....means you're hypocrticial.
You further inflate your own sense of self-worth by "adding into" the fundamental bias you already espouse....you suggest that I "went against my own professional opinion"...
Nothing could be further from the truth. Like most biased hypocrites, you associate value with assumptions to extend your argument. Naturally, that argument falls down in the face of facts, but it sounds good when you type it, doesnt it?
In the end, this thing is nothing more than an object. Its ONLY value is to the person that posesses it. Its is soulless.
It is hardly the religion that you have apparently made it. In the end, it is simply a truck. And last time I checked.......
...I have NEVER insulted someone personally for their work. Ever. I could give a rats ass if you dont like it...thats fine with me. In fact, I suspected the reaction of the H2 Devotees to be similar to what I have seen.
I didnt expect bigotry and personal attacks.
But hey.....it IS fun. So, if ya wanna continue in this vein, I am down. I mean, other than enjoying this forum, I only have a couple other tasks...
One of which is cutting the roof off one of these things to make a convertible out of it.
Want me to post some pics?

hey roadsurfer
Can't say that I would spend the $25K or so to get my H2 to look like that but there is something on your truck that I like alot. What did you use to flush hummer out of the back bumper? Have you had any cracking.
You know not one single person that sees my hummer asks what kind of truck it is. They know exactly what it is without having to read advertising recessed into the back bumper.

Dear Roadsurfer,
Yes, it is a truck, and yes, many of the parts are manufactured by GM and many are not and they are proprietary to the H2 …. But, many of your "renditions" about the parts and how they are put together and where they are from are erroneous …. please read the prospectus regarding the H2, and if you are really interested, you may contact:
Mrs. Wendy M. Orthman
Communications Coordinator
PR Division/Hummer GM
MC: 482-A32-B98
100 Renaissance Center
Detroit, Michigan 48265-1000
And you will get the “real scoop” …
I wish you the best with your custom conversions. It is just a shame that a vehicle made of off road use is being converted to a “low rider” …. Does your company make “low rider’s” ? I have a 68 Dodge that we want converted with hydraulics, etc. to make a advertising vehicle to use for trade shows …
Best
Michael

Talk about nothing special, what's up with your website ? I think you might have some issues yourself. Why come to a Hummer site, rag on them and start trouble, can't find another vehicle to screw up today ?
