    Chinese company to buy.........HUMMER.....

    Is that such a great idea.

    I bet Hummer still has lots of Military TRADE secrets, specifically around armor, etc, etc,

    THIS my friends is a BAD idea......I'd much rather the GUBMENT run hummer than let the Chinese run it.

    Later,

    Geo

    According to one of Obama's special advisors, Mr William Jefferson Clinton, it was advised that whenever the Government and Hummers get together, bad stuff happens.

    Thus, they're dumping Hummer to China.

    What in the hell China wants with Hummer is beyond me, so makes you wonder. I just hope somebody at the plant is destroying tapes and files and figures as we speak.

    Hummer is losing a ton of $$ for GM, not surprised that they want to get rid of it. From the story I read, they'll save 3000 jobs by doing so.

    Armor on a civilian vehicle I really doubt it. If there were any military secrets the deal would never have gotten this far. Besides, if the hummer had any secrets on it, anyone could buy one and reverse engineer it to obtain them. No need to buy the whole line to do that.

    Oh, and careful if you google Chinese Hummer

    The military hummers, from what I understand, are produced by a different company entirely....American General, out of South Bend, IN.

    The Chinese company's intent with buying GM's Hummer is "to produce Hummers for the growing demand of fuel efficient vehicles in the U.S." Fuel efficient Hummers? Hmmph. That will either be a laughing stock, or they'll make us look like total douchebags when the come out with a Hummer that gets 35 mpg in the first year.

    Be very careful if you google a local Sporting Goods store as well.

    Naw, one of them is just plain wrong! Here is why...I wanted to check out some sporting goods products a few years ago and I was busy so I just typed in the first word of the store which is "Diicks Sporting goods" and before I knew it I was being called "stud", "big boy" and other things. I laughed at how stupid I was...

    Remember when Wal-mart was the BUY AMERICAN store......

    Like a DRUG DEALER.....once you were hooked on their product and low prices, they used bait and switch to KEEP you HOOKED.

    I bet you cannot find a single American Made product at wally world.

    Toilet paper it's the only thing they got made right for the job! It's appropriate since we are always cleaning up crap from around the world.
