What's up with people who buy Hummers?

[Rudee]

Hummers quickly became the laughing stock. Kind of like Tribal Tattoos.

Interesting article. Apparently Hummer drivers are (well, were) almost 5 times more likely to receive traffic tickets. 🙂

OP, stop being a jealous asshole.

Sorry. I wasn't calling you out specifically. Take your penis envy and your H2 back to the other thread please. Thanks.

Man, I used to hate Hummers so damn much.

Now, living in Berkeley for 3 years, I'm so god damn sick of Priuses and the raging idiots that drive them, I'd relish a glimpse of just one Hummer.

but, alas....

My sister owns a Tahoe. She had a Yukon before. She loves it and it's a great vehicle. My cousin owns a Yukon Denali. It's his second one. He bought another one after he sold the first after ~250k miles. He loves it. He puts about 40k miles a year on his Yukon. He couldn't care less about gas prices. He just wants comfortable ride.

at 10 mpg and $4/gallon that's about $16k per year in gas. Good for your cousin, I prefer to spend my money on other things.

FWIW, I don't hesitate to cut off hummers or any other ridiculously oversized SUVs. They make life miserable for me by being hard to see around and a risk to my safety, so I have no interest in being courteous to them as I am to drivers of cars and work trucks.

Only thing worse than a hummer driver is a Prius driver. And maybe a 328 driver.

I don't really care about hummers, but according to that site linked, an H2 weights north of 8500 lbs? WTF?
My parents have an SUV thats in the same size cat as an H2, yet it only weights about 4500lbs. WTF is in the hummer that it weights nearly 2x as much?

 

[SandEagle]

only an a##hole judges a person by what he drives.

 

[Oil]

I drive a Tahoe although if I actually paid for gas I would absolutely have a sedan

the necessary weight to compensate for the driver's tiny penis?

Hummer and Prius drivers are definitely tops in smugness, but nothing is worse than a Rav-4 or CRV driver for pure driving skill. I swear, every time I see someone pulling a doucheweasel move on the freeway, it's always a Rav-4 or CRV.

From the article:

>>The study suggests such an attitude is unique to Hummer drivers and doesn’t apply to everyone in an SUV, because the the Hummer was followed by the diminutive Scion tC and xB. People behind the wheel of those cars were 4.6 and 4.03 times, respectively, as likely to get tickets than the average driver. The researchers attributed that to the fact the average Scion driver is in his or her early 20s. Other vehicles on the top-10 list included the Toyota Solara and Subaru Outback.>>

Isn't the Outback the lesbian car?

Yeah, I saw the Outback and was like WTF? I have driven one and the damned thing had very little acceleration power. I didn't expect to see that one on the list.

There's nothing inherently wrong with the Prius itself, it just seems to attract only the douchiest douchnozzles as owners.

I'm usually too busy texting or watching a movie to notice little cars cutting me off anyway.

You bitch about them being a risk to your safety. Yet you brag about how you cut them off, which is one of the most unsafe things you can do. If anything you're more of a threat to their safety than they are to yours. How ironic is that?

It's widely accepted here that people buy them to compensate for having a small penis.

 

[MustangSVT]

why do you give a shit what other ppl drive?

let alone judging them?

So why do so many women own them then?

In the UK? AFAIK they don't.

They are rare in the UK, and when you do see them the guy behind the wheel has a small penis.

Shaquille O'Neal owns a couple Hummers, and while I've never seen it, I can't imagine he has a small penis.

And you've personally examined these penises?

See.... small penis comments carry about as much credibility with me as loose vagina comments. And they're usually born from the same childish logic.

Ah-nold bought the very first one and the internet is rife with evidence of the size of his unit.

And it's not small.

HAL... As usual, you should STFU before you get totally owned.

A valid point, Small penis comments generally reflect that a person holds about them some kind of personal inadequacy that they feel the need to compensate for, rather than to reflect the actual size of a persons penis.
