Well it seems that the Hummers are not selling that well these days with high gas prices and the like. Some intrepid bloggers went to do some investigative journalism on how "bad" the situation was. The results are quite amazing!!!!
So, a bit of levity for Friday morning. Enjoy!
First of all the link
click here from "The mess that Greenspan made" blog. There are lots of pictures and a very funny writeup on the whole "in search of Hummers" expedition.
The concluding paragraph was fun too.
The reason that the story of rapidly rising Hummer inventory is so interesting and so amusing, is that America's most ostentatious Sport Utility Vehicle, the Hummer SUV, is a metaphor for America in the world today - overweight, overpriced, inefficient, and unloved.
I did a diary a while back on SUVs and was frankly astounded by how much support there was for them among Kossacks. For a liberal blog there was an unbelievable amount of whining about how they just had to have their SVU for this reason or that reason, with a seeming blissful ignorance as to how the rest of the world looks at SUVs (gas guzzling wasters of the earth's resources and symptomatic of what is wrong with America) It was quite an eye-opening experience for me.
