I didn't think it was possible to do something more criminal than driving a hummer. I stand corrected.

Was Ken getting her the coffee?

Are you all distinguishing between actual Hummers and H2s? I for some reason find H2s more offensive. Perhaps because I (no doubt incorrectly) assume that actual Hummers are carrying military personnel.

Or maybe I am confused about the difference. I would check out a website but I think seeing so many, all presented as the coolest thing ever for suburban and urban living, would cause my head to explode.

If it's painted other than army drab or tan, I don't believe any hummer serves a purpose other than edifying the driver's impression emself.

The original hummer is closer to the military issue version, is larger, and costs IIRC $100k. The H2 is the "smaller" version, with more creature comforts, and priced in the $50k range.

I really think the Bradley Fighting Vehicle is next year's must-have suburban accessory. Why bother towing the raft when you can just srive down the whole river?

Unless the military has decided my peaceful little town green is of major strategic importance, and that glaring yellow is a great nondescript color for camo and hiding from the commies, there's at least one actual Hummer driven by a Victorian-mansion-dwelling poseur where I live.

Plus H2s. But thankfully not pink, yet.

Speed up.

Since most people here made their sick money in the brief period before the launch of the H2, it is mostly hummers. The H2 drivers look like true poseurs.

Though it is Texas, many men I know are relinquishing their SUVs for convertibles or sports sedans. Possibly to avoid confusion with their SUV driving wives.

I did see a G Wagen yesterday. Now that is an uuuugly vehicle, but not as ugly as the H2.

I can appreciate the guy who has the hummer to advertise his business I guess, certainly people pay attention to them, at least here because they are rare. I saw a black one parked outside a coffee shop the other day though and it just made me laugh.

Who is doing this off road stuff with these things, and what is it doing to the off road areas they are driving through? And what's wrong with a jeep? Actually what's wrong with parking the car and climbing over the rocks instead of crushing them with this stupid ass replacement for lack of penis or Id issue or whatever the fuck it is.


As far as sig lines sometimes I have one sometimes I don't (except of course for the if you need help email me line which is for obvious reasons and I made it that small for a reason.) The one I have now I'll keep for a short while longer and then get rid of it. I doubt I'll replace it for some time to come, unless some other amazing thing happens and I feel the need to comment on it. It is mainly for my own edification and no one else's. It just pleases me. Which I guess answers my own question as to why people buy Hummers. Perhaps it just pleases them.

But it still makes me think they are morons.

Can anyone explain the existence of these? At one point they had cachet because you had to import and meet EPA standards yourself, so no one did. Then mercedes got smart, and made them for the us market, and charged mucho $$. THen mercedes got even smarter, and put creature comforts in them, and called them the M-class. Yet they continued to produce the Gwagen

Edited to note: perhaps the mercedes website explains it best: "Classic lines. Rock star status." great. are the chrome spinners optional?

A friend has two, and his reasons are legitimate. He runs an outfit service into the Boundary Waters from Ely, and they are the best vehicles for going through absolutely anything while towing two huge canoe-and-supply trailers at once and carrying paying passengers who frown on getting injured in a vehicle. For him, they are tits.

For the seven people in hummers who parked near me this morning in my quaint little burb-coffee-shop parking lot, well, no. They could just as well drive Coopers. (Only here have I seen a PINK Hummer.)

I could actually use one, as I spend a fair amount of time negotiating old fire roads up north while carrying loads, in all seasons. But, no, I just could never actually buy one. Someone might see me at the mall.

That's about the only legitimate reason to own one. Oh yeah, that and to tell the world that you're a gas guzzling Republican with a small penis.
There really is no other reason to drive a vehicle that gets under 10 mpg (unless of course you're in the Iraqui desert.) And while I defend my right to drive my SUV (German of course) if I had to commute any distance, I would certainly trade it for a car that got better gas mileage.

They are AMG tagged, ugly, prohibitively expensive . . . everything your nouveau riche poseur needs.

Apparently they were initially popular in H'wood and they are now the car of choice among rappers.

All signature lines are stupid and should be banned. Who wants to read the same thing over and over, especially when it wasn't funny the first time? That's why the parentheticals work. They change flavor with each post.

First, they came for the signature lines, and we didn't do anything. Then, they came for those little lines under the avatars, whatever you call them, and we didn't do anything. Then, they came for the avatars, and you know how little we did.

Finally, they came for our obscenities, and we became Infirmation.

Slave, Thurgreed, you're not getting my signature line.

And who the hell could object to a sig line like mine with its fine Barry Manilow lyrics anyway?

The Harvard Crimson reports that Hahvahd has revoked the offer of admission to the girl who sued to become sole valedictorian, rather than 1 of 3.

Yeah, you could repeat that line of the song forever, and no one would ever tire of it.
