Fun Fact: the Hummer’s battery pack by itself weighs as much as a Miata

Oh so people want hummers now? I remember a brief time, very brief in the early 2000’s people liked them.

They never stopped being popular in my god-forsaken town. Drive past a big church on Sunday morning and you’ll witness an unbroken sea of shiny, oversized bricks plastered with racist stickers

Brick-shaped lifted trucks are the most popular, followed by brick-shaped non-Hummer SUVs, but Hummers tie for third place with disgraceful Hummeroid Jeeps kitted out to look like a post-apocalyptic frat party

It’s a deep-red county in Georgia. The kind of place with a lot of ATV dealerships and midsized megachurches

idk the hummer ev is an unreasonable product that costs an unreasonable amount of money. saying “people want” this is kinda weird when marketing creates demand.

most people would rather have a car (that’s still too big, death to america), and reasonable people would rather have the metal plastic, and batteries be hundreds of e-bikes.

I wanted one for a brief period in the mid 90s. I lived in rural NM and I thought it would be a lot of fun to drive around on the sand dunes with one. Then I moved to rural PA and realized what a nightmare owning one would be.

One day, when you’re older, you can get a race car bed without walls.

Kei cars are absolutely the most car anybody should be allowed to have

yes, kei trucks are pretty common here in Colombia

America will only come around to the glory of the kei vehicle after an incredible oil shortage or a violent revolution with accompanying purges

Cars under 25 years old are illegal to import in the US, there are exceptions for using Kei trucks on private property. I’m pretty sure they’re totally legal if they’re over 25. A place near me in Washington State is a major importer of them.

If beds were meant to have walls I wouldn’t wake up every morning by log rolling onto the floor.
