California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has sold his fleet of eight Hummers, according to multiple media reports. Valued at over $950,000 the fleet of trucks was the target of much criticism from environmentalists. Schwarzenegger once praised the trucks as "an incredibly precise and forceful machine." In a speech yesterday on the environment, Al Gore reportedly confirmed the rumors. "Arnie has given up his Hummers," Mr. Gore said. On Wednesday, the sate of California announced it was suing the six largest automakers operating in the United States for the negative effect of their vehicles on the environment.
He owned nearly a $1M worth of Hummers? He rolled big.
Good for him, what did he replace them with and why did he need 8, it's the waste of resources I object to
And now he wants to kill the Big 3 by suing them over making vehicles like the Hummer? I still say he's a hypocrite.
Oh no Arnie is turning into a girlie man
Arnold should ask GM to lease him eight Equinox hydrogen vehicles so that he can drink water 24/7 by collecting it from the car's tailpipe.
Hey Arnold, what about your motorcycle collection? Are you gonna sue Harley Davidson as well? They have dirtied your little state- go sue them!!
I don't see what he has done to help the environment. He sold them, he didn't destroy them. This means that someone else is polluting instead of him.
It is funny that they don't understand the positive effects automobiles have had on their state. Next year, the big 6 should close their dealerships in California and not let any traffic in, particularly 18 wheelers with food and goods.
The suing of car manufacturers for their pollution is so inane, but in 2006 it seems about right.
Californians wont let any food or product out, then we'll see who needs whom the most
You're a loser Arnold. Giving up your Hummers will prove to be the dumbest thing you've ever done. Big Oil is not gonna like this. GM is their biggest client with all their gas guzzling SUV's and Hummer just happens to be the bacon. Well, at least somebody else is gonna enjoy the high life now.
Thank you GM for your dedication to large SUV's and especially thanks to Hummer. Big Oil couldn't survive without ya!

I am with Born…California would be the 3rd largest agricultral exporter if they where a nation. Those silly repubs back East should read and learn before spouting.
Governments sue companies all the time. It is one of the few avenues WE have against CORPORATIONS. Because "not buying their products will crush 'em" is a 20th century fantasy. Remember, a facist state would remove this legal channel.

Retards.

According to the ridiculous state of Cal, Arnold contributed to greenhouse gasses. I want his ass dragged before a court NOW.

By the way, californians above, get over yourselves. The state lost its cool about 20 years ago.
Its not about cool its about being a great place for EVERYBODY to live. If you can't handle that live somewhere else.
Upon reflection, Arnold probably has done more damage to the environment and the oil reserves by selling those Hummers instead of keeping them. He can only drive one at a time. Now and likely, all eight will be out and about wasting gasoline and adding GHG to the atmosphere. I can see it now — the new owners driving around to show off to their friends Arnie's Hummer. Maybe he should have crushed them like GM electric cars.
Bitter
This just in!
Arnold is replacing the gas guzzling Hummers with a fleet of 8 Toyota Camry Hybrids!
Toyota Camry Hybrids???? Didn't he sue Toyota.
By the way, California buys more Chevy Tahoes than any other state.
It appears that not all Californians abide by Arnold's code of conduct.
People, those eight Hummers were Arnold's to do with as he saw fit. This is America. We are allowed to buy as many vehicles as we want and can afford. We are also allowed to sell them. If you want one, go buy it. If you want Arnold to keep his–well, that is not a choice that you can make. Deal with it.
OilInvester is an incredible fool, I really dont have anything else to say about him other than that his values aren't in the right place and his comment sickens me.
Arnold, well all I have to say is it's about time..
You are bitter. California is a nice place to live. I don't need to dis the East Coast or wherever else…It's not like this thread is talking about Florida and we're plugging California. This thread is relavent to California.
"Its not about cool its about being a great place for EVERYBODY to live. If you can't handle that live somewhere else." - Comment by Born Right The First Time
That is the only time California is plugged in this thread and it's in response to someone telling us to "get over ourselves".
Everything else is just looking at the facts.
hes givin up hummers hes really a girly-man lol
So the dude sold his fleet of Hummers and all of a sudden that makes him a girlie man? Where the hell are you people from and what's wrong with you?!?
This is yet another in a long list of reasons why living in California must royally suck. The liberal eco-weenies take all the fun out of driving. Hell will freeze over before I'll have a Camry or a Prius as my daily driver.
Our dumb f*ck (Bushes puppet) Harper wants to introduce same emission laws as California, in Great White North in 2010.
And Californians government is bunch of hypocrites, as they were the once to give car companies emission standards in a first place. So, in reality, they should sue themselves.
The whole country not just CA is a big hypocrite. Thus my reason for leaving the prison called US. Heck, speed limits? Unacceptable!
If I had 8 hummers I'd sell them too….
And go buy 1 McLaren F1!!!
Is there even a legitimate point to owning 8 Hummers? All they all different models or variants of the chassis? Like, maybe he needs 8 because he likes to stack them in his backyard to make a fort… I could understand 8 different unique sports cars or luxury cars, but 8 hummers? Come on, man. Does he really travel around in groups of ~40?
California sucks, enjoy your social mistfits and perverts. It should be the loser state now because all it is are perverts and rejects. hollywood is nothing but liberal assholes r us so their stock took a shit not long ago. arnold should have driven a muscle car thats more a manly vehicle than any. hummer doesn't say much that isnt a macho mobile thats a panty waist soccer mom mobile.
Wonder if he included the eight front wheels that broke off the front of them as part of the deal?

What a brilliant statement braniac. Please enlighten us with more of your genius.
Remember my post about asinine comments?
Arnold isn't a free man.Can you see that?Just like the British Royals.It is a sort of bondage.You can't really be yourself.You must act like I don't know…with certain restrictions and self sacrifice.
Arnold is married to a Kennedy(Shriver).The Kennedys are basically blood Dems.Also,if I am not mistaken,Arnie has an all female army in his home;five or six daughters and no sons.Do the math.
