Driving a Hummer in Japan
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119360566073174132.html?mod=hpp_us_editors_picks
Pretty intersting article and it doesn't bash the brand!
Quote:
TOKYO -- When Sadayoshi Ishi drives his Hummer, he takes precautions. He has installed a navigation system that shows wide-open streets in green and more dangerous narrow streets in pink on a computerized map inside the truck. Periscopelike monitors on each side-view mirror alert him to obstacles.
Mr. Ishi isn't dodging land mines in a desert war zone. The 48-year-old Japanese cartoonist is trying to navigate Tokyo's urban jungle of streets too narrow for his 7-foot-wide vehicle. "I broke out in a sweat every time I drove it," says Mr. Ishi. He now drives his Hummer just once a week -- to golf games -- on a predetermined route.

Re: Driving a Hummer in Japan
Japan is such a safe haven for our group. They don't tolerate unemployed tree hugging hippies down there. They care about the enviroment like the next guy but enviro wackos have no voice.
