    You feeling ok? you are taking this terribly seriously!

    This "utter bullshit" I came up with was the hummer not being an economical car. I'm sorry to say, but it isn't!

    I know fully well the emissions standards and MPG's are only loosely connected. The fact the hummer is exempt from emissions control confirms my point.

    I simply made a comment about the hummer, you were the one to take it this far mate.

    Oh Yeah. Saw some down here already. There were 5 on the last car meeting at the parking lot in front of Rodrigo de Freitas lake. One was a blue one, very cool.

    I was a little mad when I posted that.

    Anyway, of course the Hummer is not econimical. It gets like half a mile to the gallon. However, it is not exempt from emissions standards. No vehicle is. It might be exempt from the mpg standards, which is probably the case, but those old ladies don't know shit. :smt045

    Hope this cleared everything up, sorry to go off like that.

    Back on topic:

    The Lotus Elise is da bomb!!!
