You're a complete hypocrite. Unless you're driving a Prius, or something equally as friendly, you've got ZERO room to tell other people what they should or shouldn't be driving. ESPECIALLY if you're running catless downpipes on that 135i.

I live on 42 acres of pristine natural forrest in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, you drive a 300 HP 135 (when a 1.8 L 4 cylinder would suit you just fine). Who's doing what for the planet?

I'll stop driving mine, when you stop driving yours...

How the hell am I a hypocrite? Again, I responded to the post that 'if the 135 was any better on the planet' and it is.

Also, I really don't give a crap what the hell he drives.

PS. Factory pipes here. And I take the bus to work.

The same goes for you I suppose. A 4cl pick up would do you fine.

The larger the land the larger the vehicle?

My Driveway is 4 Kms long. I need the HP to get my mail quickly.

If you guys want to argue about who's greener, go to the Prius forums. We're all enthusiasts here, so who really cares if it gets 14/18 (H3) or 14/20MPG (M3).

..And surely you guys wouldn't be complaining about MPGs if the OP had purchased an M3..

You've got a tune (I know this for a fact) which alters emissions beyond the rated specs, and you're driving a car that gets marginal gas mileage for no good reason other than to go fast. You could easily get by with a 100hp Prius, but you choose to pollute the planet with a 300hp sports car instead.


Also maybe the H3 owner takes a bike to work everyday.

Point is, judgeing someone else's choice of vehicles when you're driving a small car that's HORRIBLE on fuel compared to everything else in its class makes you a complete hypocrite. If you can't see that, you're blind.

You know I have a tune for a fact do you? That is quite the statement.

Bottom line, the hummer is the poster car for excess.

I make one simple comment 'the planet thanks you' and all of this starts. The 135s fuel mileage is actually quite good compared to others in its class.

For some reason Jeremy you like stirring the pot don't you.

Jeremy, Thanks for the support and please continue if you want (your comments are spot on), but I'm a big boy and can handle this.

The Hummer branded trucks are the "poster" vehicle for excess as chosen by a bunch of liberals who live in 10,000 sq. ft houses and use way more electricity than the average American (I'm thinking Al Gore here, or any left wing richer-than-shit Hollywood overpaid entertainer). All who have in the recent years climbed on the global warming/save the Earth bandwagon (and bought a Prius) so they can sell more shit to us, apparently entertainment-starved, Americans.

I actually need a vehicle like the H3T. I live in the mountains on a river that floods on occasion, in which I then need to ford 2 feet of water, or worst case if the river is too high, need to climb out the back side of my property (1600 ft up) in case of an emergency. I also need the capability of the pickup box and many times my wife and I enjoy the fire roads and trails in West Virginia. It will also tow a horse trailer on occasion. The H3T is the only mid-size pickup truck I know of on the market that has locking front and rear differentials, giving it adequate off-road capability, and 6,000 lb towing capacity. Besides, my wife thinks it's cool and it replaces her Jeep.

So I didn't buy it to be some off-road poser and try to show off my level of excess. Feel free to read my other many posts on Global Warming and you will understand my position quite clearly, which is why I’ve wasted so much time responding to such liberal drool as spewed by MrRoboto.

I just thought I’d share the event, as many others have, that I bought a new car and that the car enthusiasts on this board would appreciate it. I did expect some flame, however, since it was a Hummer.

CO2 is CO2, regardless of what car or human it comes from.

I thought about getting an H3T once, then I realized I wanted a big Turbo Diesel truck, then I realized I didn't have enough money for another toy. Lame.

You've mentioned it several times in the tuning section.

Nope, I just like to keep the BS in check.

Do you say the same thing to people who buy M5s?

What part of VA do you live in? I grew up in Smyth County, off I81, about 30 mins north of Bristol.

Oh, BTW, VA FTW.

I went to high school in Front Royal, and then VMI in Lexington. Blue Ridge = Awesome.

My favorite road though was Goshen Pass. Whenever I pulled a great escape from VMI I'd hit it up in the ///M. Such a nice road.
