Recently while searching for van hire we at Derr eThings were appaled to see the appearance of Hummers here in the UK. It would appear that some petrolheaded entrepeneur has had the bright idea of offering these monster-osities to geezers - focussing initially of the van hire london market.
Here's the thoughts of one of our freinds from across the pond:
Hummer is incredibly trashy-looking and ridiculously ugly car. Forget about the whole global warming, impact of climate change thing, that hulky steel box is UGLY and beyond tasteless. No, people make fun of it not because it gets bad mileage, people make fun of it because it makes you look like a uneducated rednecky hick that can't spell A to Z.
I still possess several windshield stickers which I enjoy affixing to the drivers-side window of extra-obnoxious vehicles that park along side me in parking lots. Of course, they say:
S Stupid
U Useless
V Van
