HAHA! fuh2.com A website where people post pics of themselves flipping off Hummers
Welcome to FUH2.com, home of the official Hummer H2 salute. So...why all the fuss? Well, it breaks down like this:

The H2 is the ultimate poseur vehicle. It has the chassis of a Chevy Tahoe and a body that looks like the original Hummer; i.e. it's a Chevy Tahoe in disguise.


The H2 is a gas guzzler. Because it has a gross vehicle weight rating over 8500 lbs, the US government does not require it to meet federal fuel efficiency regulations. Hummer isn't even required to publish its fuel economy (owners indicate that they get around 10 mpg for normal use). So while our brothers and sisters are off in the Middle East risking their lives to secure America's fossil fuel future, H2 drivers are pissing away our "spoils of victory" during each trip to the grocery store.


The H2 is a polluter. Based on G.M.'s optimistic claim that it gets13 mpg, an H2 will produce 3.4 metric tons of carbon emissions in a typical year, nearly double that of G.M.'s Chevrolet Malibu sedan.


The H2 is a death machine. You'd better hope that you don't collide with an H2 in your economy car. You can kiss your ass goodbye thanks to the H2's massive weight and raised bumpers. Too bad you couldn't afford an urban assault vehicle of your own. Or could you...?


The H2 is a tax loophole. Under the current tax laws, business owners can deduct nearly half the cost of their H2s. If you are in the highest tax bracket, that's a tax savings of nearly $10,000! The government rewards you more savings for buying an H2 than you'd get for buying an electric car.
So, if you see it our way, tell a Hummer owner what you think and show 'em the bird. If you do, send us a picture--we'd love to post it on our site.

1. There is a hint of the Darwin Award competition in flipping off other drivers
I don't think flipping people off on the road is the smartest thing to do. Have these people heard of road rage?

2. How in Hades did buying a Hummer get to be a tax writeoff?

5. It's considered a "work car". A truck etc. But lawyers and doctors have been using
that tax loophole. Some small business owners too. I know of one woman who has 4 SUV's.

7. The law that gave the tax write-off was written in a way that was too broad. Any SUV owner can apply
It may have actually helped the US get into the current craze with SUVs, but the reality of gas prices is snapping America out of that bad habit.

11. Yes.
I use them on alternating days when I run 4 blocks over to the GuzzleMart for my special spices I use for the Small Child Casserole we dine on in my household.

To think I actually sprung you from Ignore GitMo. Silly me.
