Great News

Turned on the news and it looks like the Hummer, that gawdawful multi-ton vanity vehicle, will probably go extinct. Yes, I despise the vehicles. I've been tailgated by them, tanks driven by yuppie housewives yakking on cellphones.  Of course, the sad thing is that because General Motors couldn't see the writing on the wall, and far too many people wanted this kind of crap, they're now going to lay off lord knows how many people. But we really  need to get Hummers, and other big SUVs, off the road. The vast majority have one office worker driving them. Waste of gas, destroys the roads, and I've seen what happens when a Hummer or big SUV hits another car. Not a pretty sight. ...

We call them Toorak tractors. Not needed for the city. And I hate the ones who have a bullbar! What, that pesky pedestrian is going to damage the front of your car! And yes, the yuppies are the worst. I'm looking at a Holden Barina (Beep, beep) or a Hyundai Getz when I get my licence. And my Mum live 2 hours away but a little car like that will handle the distance fine.

Why would you need a bullbar in the city?? Aieeee

I am yet to figure that out! Maybe they need it for the Kangaroos that hop down the main street of Melbourne. (That would be Bourke Street) or the feral cyclists (although I can understand that :()
