The reactionary mindset of this culture of excess comes from a heightened indifference to the environment, the war and the safety of other drivers. The inference is: I drive an SUV, I don't care and, by consequence, I am cool because I have manufactured my own indifference to the world around me. It's pretty puerile and self-involved.

Perhaps we should all check our own carbon footprints here: Climate Care

mayfair, i suggest you spell check your posts from here on out. offend me with the word troll and i say, don’t be mad at him, he’s dyslexic.

as i’ve stated at some point in this thread, we test drove the h3 and my wife didn’t feel completely comfortable driving it. so, we were going to check out volvo wagons this weekend.

my main attraction to the h3 was probably along the lines of someone on here getting all excited about a new instrument or something. i saw a few ads for it and it excited me. i can afford it, so we checked it out. when the playstation 3 comes out, i’ll see ads for it, get excited, then go buy it. i think the people on here moaning about buyers of suv’s as being self absorbed are calling the kettle black.

I found this little nugget, from malling's libertarian dingbat:

"I love Tom DiLorenzo’s work on Abraham Lincoln, and this particular piece, from 1998, gave birth to my foray into the study of this ruthless dictator and his wrath upon freedom."

true! i got mine here a few years ago: www.samuraisalvage.com
mine has never tipped over, despite several attempts. the wheels have left the ground, but only from jumping it in the rock quarry at the badlands orv park.

Yes, I am a terrible speller. Sometimes so bad that this forum's spell check has NO idea what I am trying to say. I am not proud of this fact. I will try harder in the future.

I have a question; can this thread get any worse?

i love people exerting effort to complain as opposed to not even bothering with it.

kudos rabbit!
