Thinking of buying a Hummer....Opinions?

[Cassandra_Cain]

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty cool. They have another video of actually driving or should I say, riding, up to a wendy's and ordering a few smoothies. Kind of funny.

And nope, I'd never buy a Hummer - egads!

Oh and thanks for posting the link

That is wonderful. I am glad I opened the thread--I wasn't even going to look lest anyone said anything positive about a Hummer! Whew! What a relief! Those things are beasts & they take up so much road. Now a green Hummer on the other hand...

That was great, I love it. LOL

Of course I don't have a problem with the real thing either if someone wants to waste their money and get eaten alive by the gas prices they will pay.

Thank you for not forcing me to post the word "idiot".

Oh, in Phoenix, AZ women use Hummers to go grocery shopping.
These women look at me on my bike is I am an idiot.
I guess I should consider one of those cute velo Hummers as well.

You scared me, Cassandra.

There's someone in my neighborhood who has a pink VW bug. Now, that's a car for me ;-)

I think it would be a blast to ride/drive around in the green hummer. Maybe, maybe, for the truly cheeky amongst us, (count me in!!!) - pull up to a gas station where there is a conventional, gas-guzzling hummer, and say, oh laugh about gas prices and fill up the tires, then go on our merry way~!

Some tidbits...

Oh no. If you are looking for a small car buy a MINI Cooper. It is much more fun and is much better built than a VW, any VW.
But that Hummer is a blast. I shared it with my DH and he is already inviting our friends for a ride.
