I love the way the gas guzzler noodle truck/SUV owners justify their attitude of entitlement with phrases like 'choice' and 'this is America, dammit'.. meanwhile they are spewing into the air with their 10 miles a gallon in a vehicle that they never use to potential. ya ya ya..if you are in the snowy hils of Montana..I'll buy in, but on the pavement of a city you hardly need a Navigator or the like.


Ike, you are so right, we need to get off the addiction of oil dependence and drive cleaner cars. The trick is to get the tiny noodle crowd to wean from their insecurities.

I recently acquired, from my father, a 20 year old Chevy Silverado pickup.  350 V-8, all original equipment (am radio and air-conditioning).  Only 63,000 miles.  Recently repainted.  With Wal-Mart brand cans of spray paint.

It don't look half bad, considering.  Runs like a top.

The geeks can have it when they pry my cold, dead fingers off the steering wheel.

I saw that add paid for by that rich squeak...ariana?  I found her e-mail address and e-mailed her (not like she will ever get it, but I felt better.)   She states that buy owning "gas guzeling" suv's we are supporting terrorist.  This is a blanket racist statement that because we get most of our oil from Arab states, that all arabs must be terrorist!!!  This shows just how freeking stupid these tree huggers are and just how low they will go, using the death of thousands of innocent people to promote their political cause.  Last time I checked binladen didn't sell any oil to the USA.  He may get some support from those that do sell us oil but far more of the money we use to buy oil, goes to our allies.  

What this Ariana chick is doing is trying to force everyone else to think her way is the only right way, trying to oppress the people of a free country.  People like her is the very reason our founding fathers moved to this country.  To live free of oppression, and dictators (who force everyone under them to do it their way.)    these people don't pay my bills, clean my house, go to work for me, pick up my dog's toejam, and until they do, they will never tell me how to run my life or what to drive.  If you are worried about where your gas (oil) money goes do some research on gas stations and buy your gas from those stations that buy their oil from friendly states.


By the way I own an SUV and a Truck, both 4x4, both with the biggest powerplants I could get...

I own a Yellow XTerra.  I take it off-road (by off-road I mean "go someplace that requires 4wd") at least once a month.  I probably took it camping/hunting 5 times last year.

Screw you guys and your worthless cars with no 4wd or ground clearance.

It's my money....I'll buy what I want to buy.

Axles of Evil

Anti-SUV hysteria goes into maximum overdrive.

By Jacob Sullum

Arianna Huffington says her anti-SUV commercials have been misunderstood, and I think she's right. To really understand these ads, you have to know something that's not mentioned in the spots themselves: They premiered the same week her new book came out.

The ads, which accuse SUV owners of complicity with terrorism, predictably generated outrage, forcing the columnist to go on TV and radio to explain herself—and, incidentally, to plug her book. If viewing the ads as a book-tour publicity stunt seems too cynical, consider how implausible the alternative explanations are.

At first glance, the commercials seem to be mocking the federal government's anti-drug ads, after which they are closely modeled. Indeed, Huffington says the spots were inspired by her disgust at the government's propaganda, which she rightly calls "ridiculous and wildly inflammatory."

But the satire is undermined by the earnestness of the anti-SUV message. If Huffington really means for us to contemplate the moral implications of our vehicle choices, which she insists she does, then the ads are just as ridiculous and inflammatory as the ones they are ostensibly lampooning. This is not satire; it's hypocrisy.

Huffington wants to have it both ways. "This campaign is not designed to demonize SUV owners," she told the Associated Press. "We want to encourage customers to connect the dots and make socially responsible choices."

When you point out that charging SUV owners with aiding and abetting people who murder innocent men, women, and children does seem to be demonizing them at least a little, Huffington insists the ads should not be taken literally. Then they're just parodies, meant to illustrate the absurdity of the government's anti-drug logic? No, she says, because SUVs really are evil. Got that?

As for encouraging "socially responsible choices," the ads are far more likely to provoke hostility, especially from people who bought SUVs because they valued their safety advantages or needed the cargo and passenger space. When one such driver, a mother who regularly hauls around several kids and their gear, called a radio show to say she found the anti-SUV ads insulting, Huffington blithely informed her that she was a victim of the auto industry's disinformation.

This is the subtext of the anti-SUV campaign: Consumers are too stupid to know their own interests, too stupid even to realize they're in cahoots with terrorists.

Let's try to "connect the dots" Huffington has laid out for us. About 25 percent of U.S. oil imports come from the Persian Gulf, and imports represent a bit more than half of our petroleum consumption. Unless we assume that every dollar Saudi Arabia receives is immediately turned over to terrorists, some fraction of the proceeds from about 14 percent of the oil we use could be said to benefit the jihadists shown in Huffington's ads.

Energy Department figures indicate that "light trucks"—the category that includes SUVs, minivans, and pickups—account for something like 16 percent of U.S. oil consumption. The shares for cars, trucks, and airplanes are roughly 22 percent, 11 percent, and 6 percent, respectively.

So why the focus on SUVs? It's true that, as a class, they're less fuel-efficient than cars, although the overall difference may not be as big as most people imagine. According to the Energy Department, the average mpg for light trucks is about 18, compared to 22 for cars.

But if the point is that people should avoid unnecessary oil consumption because it subsidizes terrorism, Huffington and her group, the Detroit Project, should be casting a much wider net. By their logic, you're supporting murderous fanatics anytime you drive when you could have used public transit or ridden a bike; take a cab when you could have taken the subway; go on a weekend road trip instead of staying home; fly when you could have taken a train; buy a gas-powered mower or leaf blower instead of an electric one; or eat out-of-season produce that has to be flown or trucked in from someplace warmer.

I'm sure Huffington, who turned in her SUV for a snazzy little gas/electric hybrid and never misses a chance to preach the virtues of conservation, will take the next step by eliminating unnecessary trips in taxis, limos, and airplanes. It may hobble her book tour, but perhaps that's just as well. If she sells too many copies, her publisher will have to send out more, and the trucks that carry them won't be burning water.

It always makes me laugh when I see the adds for 4x4 vehicles driving through pot holes talking about their off road capabilities.  I hunt probebly 7-8 months out of the year and I am adding more game to my list to fill in the blanks.  I have a truck so I have some place to put my latest kill with out getting blood on the carpet!!!


Any comments from the tree huggers?  By the way Bambie's big brother is on my wall just above my wood burning fireplace!!!

noodle argument is so sad it is funny.

Here is how I see it.

You are to dumb or lazy to find a real reason for your argument so you come up with the noodle thing.

Mostly dumb I say.

Oh you own a gun, your noodle must be small.
Oh you drive a SUV, your noodle must be small.
Oh you like manly things, hmm small noodle?
Oh a muscle car, yeah small noodle.

Oh you make that stupid noodle argument? You must have a small brain.

P.S. if your a guy and you use the noodle argument, I think maybe you should look deeply into yourself, and step out of the closet, you are thinking about DICK way to much.
