Re: New Status Symbol
It seems everything you read or hear in the media about Hummers is incorrect, slanted, and written by someone who's never owned one. I've never gotten under 10 mpg, 11 mpg is more the norm. 8 mpg~ who's he or she kidding!
If Roger lived in Westchester he probably sold his Hummer because his hedge fund tanked, not the commodities market.
"Ride like a Cadillac Fleetwood" ..... this writer must be older than me, and I'm older than dirt.
Chalk another one up for the lawyers. Today's lexan polycarbonate is "bullet resistant" not bullet proof anymore......hmmmmm. I do think he has a point about Cadillac being upset that Escalade sales are down while H2 sales are up in this crazy gas market.
Finally, please don't refer to my baby as a "land tank."

Re: New Status Symbol
I get from the 10s to the 12s mpgs depending on if I'm in Manhattan or on the highway. I like my bling too! The heck with the Cadillac Fleetwood, I want the Eldorado Biaritz! As for appendages.........................

Re: New Status Symbol
I get 8 mpg! But I also have a 6" lift and 37s.
Ahh, love how the media triggers a whole new batch of haters, this should be good.
