Why?

Why in the hell did someone think up the Stretch Hummer? Aren't the regular ones bad enough?

I had the unfortunate experience of getting stuck behind a stretch Hummer while on my way home from Dollar General this morning. The whole time I'm driving I'm wondering just how much gas that thing hogs on an average trip, why in the hell someone was riding in one on a Thursday morning, and what was it doing out in the boonies?

Well, the really great (??) part was when the Hummer was going to make a left turn. The stupid bastard driving that monstrosity didn't have enough room to make the turn, so he had to back up... blah blah blah ... and I almost get rear-ended by someone who wasn't paying attention, and apparently didn't see all my brake lights lit up.

So, my question to you is: why? Why stretch Hummers? After this, I don't want to hear one word about my having La Tahoe.
