Jim Lynch Hummer in Chesterfield has some new inventory.

It includes tactical rifles, handguns, shotguns, and ammunition.

Lynch says he began realizing about two years ago he was going to have to sell something besides, or in addition to, Hummers.

"It slowly started going down," said Lynch. "And then with the fuel prices, sales really took a big dip. And again with the economic crisis."

So Lynch was looking for a product that would mix well with his Hummers. He opted for the sportsman's angle.

"Well a lot of our Hummer owners were gun owners, already," said Lynch. "So we had a very favorable response. Didn't have enough business to keep this big, beautiful building going with the decline, so we decided we needed to do something else. And the guns fit in with our customer base... a lot of sportsman, a lot of outdoorsmen, and they've loved it."

1. Sportsmen/Outdoorsmen Hummer Owners?

the only thing actually connecting all of these assholes is a paranoid fear that someone will see how tiny their wee wee is?

Anybody else ever notice the size of the truck is inversely proportional to the size of the asshole driving it?

3. Big truck = little asshole?

Maybe you have your body parts confused...
:shrug:
Or maybe you're just obsessed with them.

8. So the smaller the truck, the bigger the assole?

"Anybody else ever notice the size of the truck is inversely proportional to the size of the asshole driving it?"

10. "inversely" proportional...he keeps using that word

I don't think it means what he thinks it means...
:D

12. Actually there noob

I used the term once, I guess counting isn't any more of a strong suit for some people than is logic. That's OK though, it can be tough to count to one and think at the same time. Keep trying it's never too late to improve oneself.

The phrase I used is "The size of the truck is inversely proportional to size the asshole driving it".
This to someone with say, a grade school level of logical reasoning would probably mean that a tiny person (the asshole in question) has to drive a great big truck to feel more like a man.

Now for many people with the "need" to drive a nice big vehicle seeing the term asshole used would automatically bring up all kinds of homo-erotic imagery because these same people are somehow as "afraid" of this homo-erotic imagery as they are than somebody might realize that they are impotent little shits and nothing could be worse than that.

15. Ah, I get it. Anyone who drives a big truck is am impotent little shit.

Thank you for clarifying that.

17. Now explain all the soccer moms I see driving these ridiculous machines?

2. Maybe he can convert the repair area into a Pentacostle Church

That way he can get a tax exemption for the whole facility.

:puke:

4. It's just a question of knowing your target market

And this guy gets his. We may not agree with it, but I for one think it's damned smart.

Now, if he could just figure out how to add guaranteed discrete infidelities and diaper fetish play, he'd have it made.

6. I didn't think Hummers were popular with sportsmen.

I have NEVER (I mean NEVER) seen a Hummer off road. They tend to be driven by yuppies and business suit types.

A Jeep dealership & guns & other sportsmen outdoors gear (fishing poles, kayaks, etc) I could see that.

[Tim01]

14. The common thread is fancy expensive toys.

I'll bet the Hummer dealership sells a lot more H&Ks than it does Savage bolt guns.

11. The the Hummer is a shitty, ugly car.

Gotta make money somehow.

18. I loved the one I drove.

I can't really say it was mine because it was assigned to the CO.

[TheWraith]

19. The CO? Are you talking about a Hummer or a Humvee?

They're far from being the same thing. A Hummer is an ugly-ass SUV, a Humvee is the bastard child of a Jeep and a Bradley Fighting Vehicle.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

22. I know, I was joking.

[TheWraith]

20. Those Hummers would make nice targets.

But it's pretty much the only thing an actual sportsman could or would do with a Hummer.

21. What stupidity

Making it easier for gun nuts to carry on with their culling.
