Stop giving them new ideas!
FWIW there’s a livery service near me that has a stretch Hummer.
I thought the stretch Excursion was bad, but this takes the cake.
And yes, it is a ugly as you think.
Remember, kids – these folks breed and vote. :eek:
I don’t know which one is scarier.
THANK YOU for a much-needed laugh! This cracked me up! :D:D:D:D:D
Well, sheeit. It’s a gow-dayum Army truck. Don’ it have a nucular power plant a’ somethin?
In other news: big fat guy mistakes Isetta for slice of cherry pie.
My roommate, who is female, wants a Hummer.
Somehow, I don’t think she’s all that concerned about her cock size.
She says she wants one so she can drive over other cars when there’s too much traffic.
This is why she should never have one.
Well, yeah, but the same traffic will just pass her again while she sits at the gas station refilling her tank!

Ooooh I didn’t even intend that pun there.
The thing is, it’s not even an army truck, it’s a civilian pretty-boy with an army truck’s name.
Do they only come in buttercup yellow? Cause that’s the only colour I’ve seen them in so far.
Not around here. Seems like most H2s on the road are driven by Gen-X aged women with “power hair.” Go figure.
Ditto on seeing mostly women driving Hummers. I would joke after seeing them that they probably get enough mileage to get you to the next gas station after filling up.
I prefer driving a glorified go-cart; much easier to zip around these huge moving road blocks.
featherlou:
I have seen many yellow ones, a few red ones, and I think, one black one. I think the one in the television commercial I also saw was black.
Anyone listen to NPR?
This very story was on the show “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me”. They have a segment where a listener has to guess which one of three outrageous stories with a certain theme is actually true. Today’s theme was : Caveat Emptor…Buyer Beware: Three stories of consumer idiocy. You can hear it here.
I about fell out of my chair when I heard them using the very story that I started a pit rant about. Wonder if any of their staff are Dopers?
By the way, I have to say that you Dopers who have replied have been wa-a-ay funnier than the people they have on this show, who are supposed to be funny by profession. (Eeek…such glowing praise in the Pit!)
Hey, I love that show. It cracks me up. 
Behold, the “stretch” H2.
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I like the show; that’s why I was listening. I was just disappointed that on this topic they were less funny than SDMB.
About 20 years ago, Car & Driver named the top 5 vehicles to have in New York City. The Humvee made the list for that very reason even though there was no civilian version yet.
To be precise, it’s an uglified Chevy Tahoe. (cite: the 2003 cars issue of Consumer Reports)
I see these things all the time, here in the OC Wastelands where BMW Z3s are more common than VW Beetles. There’s one guy who lives in the complex next to mine that drives a babyshit brown H2. Every time I see him creeping up on the driveway like the bump is gonna ruin his suspension, I crack up. Now especially, I crack up and snicker, “It’s a jacked-up Tahoe!”
(disclaimer: got nothin’ against the un-uglified Tahoe)
I have known many people, mostly women who like SUVs because they sit higher up in traffic, which I never understood. In the end you are still stuck in traffic.
I also find it interesting that we (in the US) can get bigger and bigger cars, yet those of us who want to go the opposite direction, like the Isetta for example, do not have that as a viable option.
