I hate Hummers, they're a bane to society. They waste way too much fuel, they're useless in the city, and they're a complete statement of "look at me and how much money I have". They and other SUVs and Trucks choke the environment way more then little cars. I don't mind if you actually use your vehicle for hauling things, but when you own it because you're in the city and you "look cool" I have issues.
Ah, you must have visited the suburbs of Chicago recently. Every stay-at-home mom in a tennis dress is driving her Hummer or Jeep Cherokee or whatever the lastest SUV is. And, there are no mountains around here. Not even hills. And, the most to haul are a few kids to soccer or softball--a whooping 1/2 mile away. Grrr! I hate 'em--all of them--because, when I am driving my sensible Honda Civic, I can't see any traffic whatsoever ahead of them. So, I have to rely on their judgment about when I should put on my brakes--and, lot of good that does if they are chatting on their cell phone, instead of paying attention to traffic. Sometimes I wish I had a periscope (like those on a submarine) attached to my driver's side window.
Tested made this fabulous set for me!!! Isn't it great?
