Weird tourist gawkers

[frenzy1]

Welcome to my world... I experience stuff like this almost daily. Over here, hummers are like a spaceship. You just don't see 'em.

Every time I've gotten gas someone has walked up and asked about the mileage. They look in disbelief when I say 11 mpg because they've heard it's 8 mpg. Just this week at the grocery store a 30ish young man came over and asked if he could just sit in it and coming out of Walmart I found a teenager who asked if I minded if he looked "under my truck." He got back up and was awed by all the protection and skid plates. I continue to be amazed at the attention these vehicles draw! In the Midwest there seems to be a real appreciation for the offroad capabilities of a Hummer as opposed to the left coast where Hummer owners are sometimes targets of the finger. Last night on CNN they actually said that the volcano going off in Patagonia has put more of a carbon footprint in the atmosphere than all the vehicles in the world have in the last 6 months!

We have never gotten the finger yet and maybe only one dirty look so far. Maybe those tourists had never seen one but it was still strange. LOL I believe that on the volcano, more people should hear that kind of news instead of blaming everyone for driving a certain vehicle.

I said it before and I'll say it again, only because I like you, actually I'll spell it out, "urban legend" you know.

The "yellow" Hummers are the ones that either chicks or dudes with little peckers drive. That's the word on the street.

Ask people that don't know you own a yellow Hummer...what the yellow Hummer symbolizes...I dare ya....

Kind of like "Porche" they look cool and all...but they're for chicks to drive.

That said, don't shoot the messenger.

[Karsun]

And why would that be? Seriously. And we didn't know that when we got it so screw that legend, it be not true!

[Big Dad]

Hey now, don't shoot the messenger...it may not be true to you but it's true to many more than you might think.

The quickest way to find it is to google search the words "yellow hummer penis envy" that's for all the chickas out there.

Then try "yellow hummer little penis' and you shall see.

I like your yellow Hummer...I would have bought one if it didn't have that stigma attached to it.

You know, I don't want to draw attention to my penis size and all that....

That yellow hummer stuff is made up by mental midgets! And, if you really believe it, you should not have the privelidge of driving a yellow hummer.
