Hummers


What in the world is going on? Are they giving Hummers away on the west coast of Florida? A day doesn't go by, that I don't see one to eight Hummers on the road. The models range from the original army issue resold to the public, to the new H3. These are $40-60,000 vehicles that get 14 miles to the gallon in the city.

We live in flat land, no battles or skirmishes on the streets, no crossing wild rivers required. So why is it so popular to buy Hummers in this area? Do these folks know something I don't? I know the ocean is rising, expected 3 feet by the end of the century, but how will the Hummer help? What am I missing?
