Where is Fergie's love for her HUMMER? Will Will.i.am blow his up, as promised?
Do the Black Eyed Peas have a serious love/hate thing going on with their HUMMERs or what?The group performed at the Wembley Stadium Live Earth concert in early July, and singer Will.i.am declared there that he would blow up his HUMMER. But now the show's over, and the heat of the moment has passed. A spokesman for Will says that, "He's going to crush it up and recycle it." Will.i.am is also on the list for getting a Tesla Roadster soon.
We've also heard rumors (like this one) that BEP singer Fergie got sick of her HUMMER. She sure doesn't look fed up with it in this video. But maybe the Live Earth concerts actually opened her mind to the nonsense that is driving a HUMMER. We've heard that Fergie auctioned her HUMMER and donated the money a carbon-neutral group (although wouldn't you think this sort of thing would be mentioned on something like Ecorazzi or TMZ, don't you? No dice). But auctioning off your HUMMER is not exactly the greenest thing Fergie could do.
Here are some options: She could have donated some money to TerraPass or CarbonNeutral and recycled the car like Will; she could pay to convert it to biodiesel or electric power, like the person who turned the H1 there in the pic to a mean, green machine; or how 'bout doing both: donate money, convert the car, and then give car away? You're Fergie, for crying out loud, you can do whatever you want. While blowing up your HUMMER certainly makes sure it's not on the road for others to use, if Live Earth made you want to change your ways, don't fall back into old habits now that the show's over.[Source: Contact Music, Lynne ydw i]

So when are you guys going to stop calling it "convert it to biodiesel"? That looks a military grade hummer there which would be equipped with a diesel engine standard meaning you can dump biodiesel straight in the tank, no 'conversion' necessary. Heck some H1's were sold retail with diesel engines too. Now if you want to say they converted it to diesel (by dropping a diesel engine in place of gas engine)....

The H1 uses the same amount of fuel as a high end luxury car like a Bentley, of a exotic sports car like a Ferrari. It should not be the lightning rod every single time! pick on some other vehicle.
If I had the doe, I'd get a H1, can just to rub it in to all the damn tree huggers out there, the license plate would say "1mpg".

if i could afford to buy a Hummer i would tomorrow... but since i can't , i try to do my share of polluting by dumping my used oil down the storm drain as well as old anti freeze. just my little way of thwarting the "greenies" what a bunch of morons,,, the global warming set... more morons. My town had its first 90 degree day in mid July as opposed to the normal mid April or early May.. so where's my global warming? You morons.

Methinks someone should do the world a favour and drink their old antifreeze.

I admire the pro-Hummer patriotism. But am I the only one who thinks being "Fergilicious" is another way of saying "infected with syphilis"? And the Black Eyed Peas were the worst music outfit since the Baghdad Boys blew themselves up.

Perhaps Fergie doesn't care at all about the environmental impact of her car, she was just tired of not being able to park it anywhere without part of it crushing another car.

If jakkk was paying any attention, he'd know that the way global warming affects weather doesn't mean it just gets hot everywhere. It means some warm places get cooler, some wet places become dry, all kinds of changes. And nun of em good.

I think those of you who think Hummer's even look good are on something, and that you only like them because they may make you think you can make up for places where you're lacking, environmentally sound or not.

Let’s hear it for Word-of-Mouth Advertising on something that WORKS!
Yes, it is true. I found a liquid concentrate that I have been using for months now and am saving money with every fill-up. It was developed by a chemist who has 9 patents behind his name and is a Government-Certified GREEN Business Manufacturer.

No Joke. I went from 16-17 mpg in a Taurus to 22-24 mpg which is pretty good since it is very hot this summer and no one is getting the mileage they would like. Gas prices are rising in many areas. I am saving $60-$80 a month with this product! Sure, you might get better mileage in your car because your driving habits may be better, but I just know I am saving money at the pump!
The company is currently offering a promotion for a PENNY to try 2-ounces. You just have to pay for the shipping. One ounce will treat 17 gallons of any blend of fuel. I've got more power in the car and doing my part to help the environment.
I signed up as a member so I could get the wholesale pricing. Got a trucker who is saving $120-$150 on his diesel rig by using 8 ounces when he fills up. It's time to cut out depending on foreign oil. With a money-back guarantee, I couldn’t not try it.
Know of a guy getting 44 mpg in his Hummer H2! You gotta try this liquid gold!
No pills or potions. Just a great liquid concentrate that WORKS that I finally became aware of and am telling as many people as possible so they can save money to buy groceries. Finally! Thank God!!
If you know of anyone needing help in stretching their dollars, spread the word. They will thank you a month from now when they are saving money. Hey, they might even take you out for dinner!
