The Hummer Not-So-Status-Anymore Symbol

Every time I pass an H2 Hummer on the road, I chuckle inside. What were they thinking! Somebody needs to buy them a copy of Gas Mileage for Dummies.

But then, people driving Mini-Coopers probably say the same thing when I drive past them in my Dodge Dakota pickup. But that's okay. Who's laughing when they need to haul a load of mulch?

A while back, I read an article about why people buy SUVs. One salesman told of a woman in southern California who said she really needed four-wheel-drive on her SUV, because when she goes to parties at people's houses, she often has to park on the grass. What a riot.
