    Reading another website, a letter said, "The Hummer H2 has all but disappeared from the streets of LA. Green zealots in Priuses wag fingers (often the middle one), cast looks of derision and some might even shout obscenities at H2 drivers..."

    So I ask fellow f-chatters, have you seen fewer H2s running around? I have noticed fewer of them here in Houston. The land of pickups and SUVs. Although, I did see one yesterday. Black with chrome blingy rims and an attractive female inside. All I could think was, "she might be good looking, but not too smart owning a guzzling rapidly depreciating hulk of a vehicle." Any of our dealers know how upside down the owners are at trade in? and if dealers even want these things?

    I still see lots of them in San Diego. I'm sure sales are tanking, but they were popular for a few years. Now they must be embarrassing to own at this point. ("I didn't realize gas prices could double...")

    How can this be? I thought all Hummers would be driven 300,000 miles or more.

    edit- On CNN I heard that trade-in values on big SUVs and pickups are down 17% versus a year ago. They sit on the lot an average of 66 days versus 49 one year ago.

    They are all over the place here.

    Sounds like another LA problem :D.
