Our long national nightmare is over...

Well, school is releasing children to the wild, but that's not quite what I meant.


Yesterday, as part of a 136-vehicle order for Avis Car Rentals, the last Hummer ever to be manufactured rolled off the assembly line. These environmental catastrophes (the H2 especially) were subject to much deserved criticism, numerous recalls, rollovers, and accidents (gee, I wonder why, when you put a soccer mom in a tank, she might feel invincible). Full story here, at Car Connection.



 C'mon Tad, let's go hop in the suburban tank and get 6 miles per gallon...




The original military Hummer (diesel, natch) had its place and its purpose. However, the commercial model, and it's progeny, the H2 and H3 were just eco-fucking, gas-guzzling monstrosities on a standard Tahoe frame. Americans always have had more money than good sense, and the Hummers' success ix Exhibit 1A in support of that proposition...



Either that, or you have a small penis...
