Thinking of buying a Hummer....Opinions?

[Lenusik]

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.

When I saw this thread yesterday, I thought to myself, "there's got to be some joke tied up with this one......", but I didn't open it up, until just now...

What a happy surprise !!

One of those "green Hummer's" would look wonderful put in a dealership lot

Have a green day!

I'd been reluctant to view this thread too... what a surprise. Thom drove a real hummer all over the desert in the first Gulf War. Said they were a blast to drive... in the desert where they belong, without the leather seats, air conditioning, CD player and DVD for the kids...his did have some sort of weapon attached to it.

I can see that version as a SAG vehicle, coming up behind the idiot in the pick up truck who's giving you a hard time about riding on the road...

OMG - I'll probably need those of you who actually read this to vouch for me. Else I might get a dodgy reputation for wanting a "hummer".

[Geonz]

Yea... anotherpost "Green Hummer, and no, not the paint color!" I confess, I, too, was galled for a few seconds!
