Driving Pet Peeves (Part 4)

I have always wondered why anyone would buy a Hummer. They are ugly as sin and get like one mile per gallon. And have you ever noticed that 99% of the people who drive Hummers are complete a--holes? "Hey, my car is bigger and uglier than yours, so I am obviously way cooler."

Anyway, I am not the only one who thinks that Hummers are useless because it was announced today that General Motors plans to eliminate the vehicle altogether. Good for them, but why did it take them this long to realize how dumb this car is? Better yet, why did they start making the car in the first place?

I am especially annoyed at Hummers this week because on Monday I drove back to Vegas from Orange County in the POURING rain. It was seriously some of the hardest rain I've ever driven through and at some points I could hardly see anything in front of me. When the weather is that bad, it is just plain common sense to slow down and take it easy. Or you would think. For some reason, there were still a few cars who felt they HAD to continue going 100 MPH, even though everyone else was going about 60. And as I looked in my rear view mirror, it was usually a douche in a Hummer driving these excessive speeds. Is that really necessary? Do you really think that Vegas (or wherever you are going) is going to disappear if you don't get there fast enough? Not only are you putting yourself at risk, but also everyone else on the road. And we all know how fun it is when there's an accident on the 15 going to and from Vegas. Since there are only 2 lanes in each direction, the freeway is practically shut down, thus making everyone else sit on the road for hours because some idiot refused to slow down.

So THANK YOU General Motors for finally doing away with someone that should have never been invented in the first place. And to all those super awesome Hummer drivers out there, I guess you'll have to buy some other big, expensive, fancy toys to show the rest of us how cool you really are.
