If one has the money and means and desire to purchase a Hummer
either outright or by making payments, what pray tell, would possess said person to buy the Hummer in School Bus Yellow?

If I were going to spend that much on a car, and I wouldn't because that's just me, I would make damned sure it didn't look like public transportation.

1. What better color to say "Look at Me! Look at my bright shiny toy!"
Edited on Fri Jul-21-06 11:00 AM by Gormy Cuss
Hummers are exceptionally ugly in that color too.

Theory II: makes it easier to slap a flashing TAXI light on the roof when you can no longer afford the gas.

3. if I had the money to buy it outright and could afford the gas
I would be buying an exotic sports car or a BMW X5 or a Jeep if I really had to go 4x4ing.

I see NO appeal to Hummers.

7. Have you seen the latest Hummer commercials?
The most pathetic one is about a guy going through the checkout in a supermarket with Tofu. The guy behind him, who is buying meat by the ton, snickers at him. The poor tofu guy goes out, right then and there, and buys a Hummer. Last scene is tofu guy driving his hummer while this appears on the screen; "Reclaim your manhood". (I didn't know whether to laugh or cry).

10. They look like
Brinks trucks to me. Are they saying "LOOK AT ME"... "I'm rich", "I'm tough", or "I'm an ASSHOLE"?
