Ha! I'd like to see 45 people carpooling in a Hummer. That's an H2 I assume. Wow, a Hummer produces 45 times more NOx than a Prius. Madness...

I know what they were thinking. "If I don't engineer what the bosses mandated, I will get fired."

Dumb and Hummer?

The dumber part of Hummer has to deal with the fact that initially, AM General was selling but a few hundred civilian Hummers a year, GM saw this and decided they could make a 100k a year business out of that. One comment I read somewhere (Car and Driver perhaps) stated that they were glad that GM didn't take a similar look at Avanti.

As a former Army mechanic, I have little respect for those who buy Hummer H1s. They may be formidable off-road vehicles, but used on highways they tended to break down a lot as they were not meant for such speeds. That means I replaced a bunch of engines.

What do they care. Isn't the Hummer exempt from every regulation there is? Including taxes?
