Y2Kyoto: SDA Special Events Reminder

Join us at 8:30pm, Saturday March 28

Annual Save A Hummer Pledge Drive!

From Victoria to Halifax, Rocky Mountain House to Sault Ste Marie, Save the Hummer Canada is working to help give H1 owners a healthy, happy and extended driving experience.

You can help us to deliver immediate and lasting improvements to Hummer drivers' lives nation wide. Some examples of what your donation can do:

  • $35 is what it takes to purchase a Super Deluxe No-Touch Wash with Wax
  • $80 is what it takes to provide a 5K scheduled oil change
  • $100 is what it takes to fuel a Hummer for 4 hours of mudding fun!

    Every donation counts! Help us achieve our 2009 goal of keeping 1,000 Hummers on Canadian roads for a full year.

    Be a Save the Hummer Volunteer!

    Save the Hummer has branches of volunteers in many cities across Canada, who organize events on our behalf. If you are able to help out at an event on an occasional or regular basis, let us help you get in touch with each other!

    The phone lines open at 8:30 pm. Be there, be "square"!

    If I use a bunch of AC inverters, how many space heaters could a Hummer's powerplant handle?

    I'm going to take my Hummer and do donuts on David Suzuki's front lawn. Did I mention Its been modified to run exclusively on the fat extracted from baby seals.

    I can't wait for earth hour.

    You realize that some 23 year old "girl" at WWF may be moved by the sheer volume of mocking traffic to follow in the footsteps of St. Rachel of the Pancake and giver herself a Hummer.

    You are a wicked, wicked woman...my favorite kind.

    'We have hours' to prevent climate disaster

    Geeeeeeeez, it went from decades, to years, now it is down to hours.

    I guess as the fraud unravels, the fraudsters get more and more desperate.

    HOURS......LMFAO......WHAT AN IDIOT !

    What guy wouldn't love a hummer. /rimshot

    This lead up to earth hour is getting better by the minute.

    "We have hours' to prevent climate disaster"

    Hours before everyone realized they've been scammed and there is no such thing as climate disaster.

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

    Bah! Such wheels are only suitable for girly men and Belgian mercenaries. I'm saving my pennies for a Humvee like Aaaahnold's. There should still be buys on surplus ones even after "Big O's" people's militia has grabbed the newer stock to "patrol" selected rich white suburbs suspected of hatching plots against him.

    That was BY FAR the nastiest picture of Lizzie May I've ever been duped into looking at. I couldn't even read the article. And you've ruined my breakfast. Argh.

    Whoops, that was in reply to kingstonlad.

    Freedom is freedom - You have a better chance of owning your Hummer than I have owning a Nano. 90% of environmental cant, when you strip away the posturing, is hidden agendas of special interests.

    For me, a Nano is something to die for.

    I shall do my part and consume a goodly number of burritos.

    Posted by: Mississauga Matt at March 24, 2009 9:56 AM

    This Saturday, I think I will play an episode of Penn and Teller's "B**lshit"; at twice the volume. That way, more greenies who are living in the dark will hear the message!

    I hope I have the episode where they criticize environmentalists. Just my way of helping the world.

    From the article
    Elizabeth E. May, O.C., is leader of the Greens in Canada. She is the author of six books, the latest being Global Warming for Dummies (John Wiley and Sons).

    Pretty presumptious, leader of all the Greens rather than just the Green Party. And she wrote a book called "Global Warming for Dummies", sounds like she has the target demographic pretty well nailed down.

    If we "only have hours"to save the world,then shouldn't eco-nuts be starting RIGHT NOW to help,by turning off all their power? Why wait until Saturday? And what is Dizzy Lizzy doing writing articles for the dead tree media,if she is so concerned?Send the beyatch back to the Yanks.She can cozy up to DumboOmbama in the dark.

    I like the H1, though it's less than ideal for BC due to its width. The H2 is a POS though...fit only for Surrey gangbangers.

    Posted by: Edward Teach at March 24, 2009 10:37 AM

    My power has gone out many many times this summer, probably for a combined 75 or so hours. If I can use up all of that lost energy from 8:30 to 9:30 on Saturday it will be mission accomplished. The old fuse box is gonna be hurtin'.

    Dont forget about the Jeep Grand Cherokee Hemi. Bigger engine and more horsepower than a Hummer. The Jeep SRT has 425 HP, great for doing 4 wheel burnouts down my street to p-off the greenies.

    Ahhh, good times.

    Hey Zip....how did you convert a hummer into a donut fryer? I smell a great market for them with all the eco-nuts!Better patent that baby quick like.

    Posted by: Justthinkin at March 24, 2009 11:03 AM

    How about the true believers self-immolate?
    Now there's a win-win.

    Posted by: rube at March 24, 2009 11:36 AM

    Only reason to get a hummer is to do a cameo in CSI Miami.

    Posted by: Texas Canuck at March 24, 2009 11:49 AM

    It's not worth the price! An F-350 Ford walks all over it, and for waaaay less coin.

    Posted by: Jack Frosst at March 24, 2009 1:02 PM

    I'll turn my lights off for earth hour , but I'd still love to drive a Hummer 1 for a week - I easily make up for the fuel by being vegan.

    FWIW, I don't believe in global warming, but I do believe in conservation.

    I've had an overwhelming lust for an H1 or 2 since they hit the market. Neither will clear our low-overhead garage door without deflating the tires. The H3, however, will but who cares. It looks good but sports an in-line five manufactured in France. Somehow the dichotomy doesn't work for me similar to Wild Turkey now in the hands of Pernod or Bud bagged by the Belgians. It's a slippery slope folks.

    Posted by: Anna Mac at March 24, 2009 1:53 PM

    The H3 is available with a 5.3L V8.

    Goreacle/Hansen are roadkill.
    Bummer.
    ...-

    Britain:

    "Snow and hail to end spell of sunny spring weather

    Warm weather that has seen thousands of Britons soaking up spring sunshine is only temporary and snow could return by the end of the week, forecasters have warned."

    For those who maybe think we are being assinine, let me explain why we want to burn, baby, burn, during Earth Hour.

    Earth Hour is a means to enforce an orthodoxy upon the population through a supposed morality play. It is really a political totalitarian movement that is trying to enforce its will and ideology upon a generally nice, mild, and "wouldn't-hurt-a-thing" population.

    I reject enviro-mentalism, and socialism and mis-anthr5opism. Therefore I burn during Earth Hour.

    Posted by: RW at March 24, 2009 7:21 PM

    RW, I see your point, and agree with some of the sentiment. We will still turn our lights off, but by our own choice, not because of "peer pressure" from enviro-nazis. Thanks for the clarification. :)

    Posted by: Bob in Rocky View at March 24, 2009 10:46 PM

    you guys have shitty taste in gas guzzlers. i say melt all the hummers down and use the scrap metal to build Land Rover SIIIs -- the only true offroader there is.
