Do you actually know someone who drives a Hummer?

I was rolling my eyes at a Hummer today, being all judgmental and whatnot, and then I started to think if I actually knew anyone that drove one. I do but it's so unexpected I had almost forgotten. He is one of my neighbors and is probably 80 years old. He lives in a tiny rundown house on a very expensive piece of property and keeps a garden on our property. Sometimes he brings us veggies in the summer. I love him. About 5 years ago he bought a brand new Hummer. It was hilarious! We were like, you go Mac!
I am pretty sure he is the only non-obnoxious person on the face of the earth that drives one. Can you prove me wrong? |

Yes, and I can't for the life of me figure out why someone who lives in the exurbs, far away from things, would want to drive a giant car that gets really low gas mileage. Seems foolish. She's very Republican and I suspect it's kind of an f-you to environmental types who worry about things like global warming.
I also used to work with a guy who drove one. I'm pretty sure in his case it was a small p*nis car. I couldn't stand him anyway and the hummer was the final argument in my (mental) case against him. |

Likewise, I used to work with a really annoying guy who drove one and it seemed as though he needed to make up for something. |

I am from South Florida - Miami/Ft Lauderdale and I know many many people who drive Hummers, including some friends who got them while we were in high school.
Here, I dont know anyone who drives one, but then again, I dont know what most of my friends drive bc no one I know here cares about that sort of thing. I find DC to be the least materialistic place I have ever lived (Miami, NY, Boston, DC) and I live in Georgetown. |

| in Miami they care about cars and clothes (and looks). In DC its all about jobs. |

Haha, what is that reporter smoking? I've never seen a "beefy fella who enjoys offroading" driving a Hummer. All I see is prickish little weasel dudes and tiny, pinched bleached blonde white women driving them! |

| Hummers don't bother me. About the same gas mileage as a big BMW or Mercedes, and seats more people and carries more luggage. Silly obsession. |

| I also think hummers are obnoxious...not to mention just plain ugly! I know a guy who drives one...with monster truck wheels. He's prob. the shortest grown man I know, so Im sure its a napoleon complex issue he's working out! Its kinda funny to see him jump out of it though. |

I drive an average size sedan and find Hummers far harder to see around in traffic than other SUVs. If I'm behind one, I have no idea what's happening up ahead. |

| The only person I know who drives one is a corrupt contractor who employs illegal aliens. |

My son's math teacher drove one, and would use it when they went on field trips and the students went wild for it. He's the only one.
Haven't they stopped making them? |
