That's the point - the H1 wasn't purchased by much of anyone other than people using it for off-roading and rugged terrain. That makes sense. But these yuppies (exactly the people I'm complaining about!!) in their H2s and H3s need slapping. They're wasteful for no purpose other than vanity. Even sports cars at least look nice and get better mileage than that.
And why do I care if they're wasting gas? Many keep pointing out that they're buying the gas, so they should use it as they wish and it doesn't affect me. Uhhhh.... ever hear of supply and demand? Using more gas than necessary drives up the demand which drives up my prices. And I won't even try to discuss the idea of gas conservation/lack of supply issues here.
It's not just about the waste of gas, people. It's the type of personality you
typically find at the wheel of an H2/H3. It's the utter ridiculousness of driving something that huge in QUEENS, not the mountains, and driving it poorly and rudely. It's the idea that our society likes bigger/more flashy as values and it makes me roll my eyes and wish for a rock to throw. It's that image matters more than practicality and the image they're choosing sucks IN MY OPINION. I'm allowed to think Hummers suck just as much as y'all are allowed to think they're cool.
And I think Hummers suck. Yep. That's my well-reasoned, well-thought-out argument. Grand, ain't it?
