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. ...

Yes, unfortunately, the Big 3 are shortsighted and never seem to learn or anticipate changing economic conditions until it is too late and a lot of people suffer for it. As you pointed out, some of the cars are just as bad, ie Chrysler 300. Those things are tanks and eat gas. One of my coworkers got rid of hers as soon as the lease was up. Plus it was terrible in the snow. And I shudder at even the thought of $5/gal gas.

Well, we'll all be just driving back and forth to work, with side trips to groceries and doctors, and that'll be it at the rate prices are soaring...
