Hummers II

August 21st
By any measure, I live in a nice suburban community. Manicured lawns, decks and patios, swing sets... they're all here in abundance. The developer calls where I live a "traditional golf course community" because an 18-hole course surrounds us. There are no dirt roads, no back woods, no mountains, no deserts where I live. You can't go off-road anywhere within 30 miles of my house. Look up "conventional suburbia" in the dictionary and you will find a picture of my neighborhood.

A neighbor two streets over just bought a Hummer H2. It's big, it's ugly, it has a huge metal grid across its front to "protect" it from God knows what. Where I live, a rickshaw couldn't look more ridiculous. I saw it backing out into the street on the way to work today.

Other than too much money and too little concern for the environment, what possible justification could that doofus have for buying such a bonehead vehicle?
