Do the Humpty-Hump
I own a SUV. But, it's an old Blazer. It serves my needs, but it's starting to show it's age. I'd love to get a new SUV. I even thought about getting a Hummer at one time. No, not the Arnold Schwarzenegger old-school military-style H1 or even the barely-fits-in-one-lane H2. The H3...? Well, maybe. But I guess I wouldn't get one simply because of the stigma attached to it. It just seems like too much. Excessive. Cool, but excessive.
And, of course there's the gas mileage issue. Does the H3 really do that bad on the gas mileage? Actually, no. Not any worse than my Blazer. My Blazer, according to the specs, is supposed to get between 15-17 mpg city and 18-23 highway. Bullshit. In this heat, with the AC on full all the time? It's more like 10 city and 12 highway. I have a constant whirlpool in the tank, folks.
The Hummer H3, which then actually scores about the same as my Blazer, but has that 'he's got a pair for owning one of those given the gas prices' aire about it, is a pretty cool SUV.
But, still, owning one of those things makes a social statement. Maybe that's why I won't own one. I don't feel compelled to make any social statements with the car I drive. Other people, well, they buy the H3, and make their statements. Maybe it's a passive-agressive thing.
So, if you do decide to buy one, be warned. You're making a social statement. And, some people may not like it.
Like these guys: They hump hummers.
I'm not making this up. No one could make this up, people. Click the link above and watch the videos. It's true.
Must be. I saw it on the Internet.

That's so silly. I think that a suburban is as big and excessive as a hummer.
