Hummers should be outlawed for road travel simply because they are too big. They are not even close to the general concept and image of a car. A Hummer is more similar to a truck than to a car.
They can hardly be environmentally friendly cars. They are not cars in the usual term to begin with. I find it strange that the car makers have introduced it to the customers because of its giant and senselessly huge proportions. Although anybody is entitled to buy what he or she wants, it is difficult to find a reasonable explanation for buying this car.
A Hummer is like a big, clumsy cockroach on the road. It is ugly, ridiculously big. And it uses a lots of gas. In these recession times, it is also another less appealing feature.
People who buy it are also another story. They are simply bragging and parading their financial status. OK, we know that they are loaded so a Hummer is really buzzing it. This is so tacky, by the way.
A Hummer is also difficult to park. So, finding a parking spot can really be daunting and exhausting. And a waste of time and money while circling around in order to find an empty spot. Because of its military background, many people pretend that they are soldiers while driving it. Perhaps they like pretending that they are engaged in a road battle.
Sitting behind a wheel of such a robust vehicle can be really dangerous. Some men seem to forget that the road is not the front-line and they drive like crazy. Being a symbol of heavy metal kind of cars, a Hummer is often driven by men who have an inferiority complex. So in order to overcome it, they buy it. Somehow it is difficult to imagine that it will really help them to deal with their problems..
A Hummer is not a humming bird. It is the direct opposite of everything delicate, fragile, small. It is created simply to boast, brag and advertise the personality of a driver. Whoever drives it wants to show off and send a message how wealthy he or she is.
Everything that involves a Hummer is blown out of proportion. There is simply no logical explanation for its existence on the roads. This is an entirely superfluous four-wheel monster.
It should be outlawed for road travel if we care for our climate, environment. We should also take into consideration the concept of beauty on the road. Being so unsophisticated and ugly, maybe it should be left for the military.
A Hummer should fade out of our roads. It will make so much place for other, nicer cars. A Hummer really does not have a soul.
