Bye-Bye Hummer
Its drivers used to be a proud bunch. But now the Hummer is passé. It's no longer news when the price of gasoline goes up 9-10¢ per gallon in one day. Hummers are not versatile like pickups. As a matter of fact they're impractical. And their in-city mileage numbers approximate the age of a seventh-grader. General Motors most likely will try to sell the Hummer brand. And when they discover the impossibility of doing so, they'll execute it. Bye-bye.

Now check out this letter to the editor from a Hummer owner. It appeared 6/13/08:
I consider the premium that I pay for its 10 to 12 mpg over that of a mini-vehicle's 35 to 40 mpg to be a part of my family's health insurance. If you in your Yaris or ForTwo try to occupy the same space that my family's H2 is occupying on Stemmons Freeway, I win.
You will most likely spend your gas savings on CareFlight and in a local intensive care unit, while, on the other hand, I will look in the mirror to see just what that speed bump was.
Bob Bettis, Irving
