Jan 18, 2020 Rhian Hunt The notorious Hummer will soon return, a decade after its first incarnation fizzled, thanks to General Motors' (GM) aggressive upcoming push into the electric pickup truck and SUV market. The famous nameplate will appear on an all-electric off-road vehicle this time around according to early information ... https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F553308%2Fhummer-h3t-pickup-concept-vehicle.jpg&w=1024&op=resize https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummer Founded January 22, 1992; 27 years ago Defunct May 24, 2010; 9 years ago Headquarters Detroit, Michigan, U.S. Products Sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks Parent General Motors Website www.hummer.com % I'm reminded way back in the late 1990's when a bright banana yellow Hummer-ice was used as a pizza delivery vehicle to Santa Cruz mountain resident customers. Imagine how fuel wasteful it was hot-dogging up and down those Mt. roads just to deliver a pizza. I'm quite sure the pizzeria owner must have been a humer devotee and used the beast as a huge tax-write-off business-expense ... https://youtu.be/rAmZXYBsBH0 ... https://www.facebook.com/pg/Pizzabrotherraritan/photos/ The following is a yellow hummer ice item (dated): % https://jalopnik.com/here-s-what-it-was-like-to-own-a-hummer-for-a-year-1740784482 Here’s What It Was Like to Own a Hummer For a Year 11/05/2015 ... I have sold my Hummer. Yes, that’s right: my giant, slow, loud, gas-guzzling, unreliable behemoth of a Hummer is now officially someone else’s problem ... I’ve decided to post one last column summing up my experience after a year of owning a giant hulking military vehicle painted to resemble a banana https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/c_fit,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_137/1505873974687283857.jpg ... the first thing people ask is: What the hell is wrong with you? ...

Of course, some might say that the Hummer shouldn’t be used in the city ... Speed is an issue, too, in the sense that the Hummer is quite slow. Actually, “quite slow” doesn’t begin to describe it. Very slow. Hugely slow. So slow that Lance Armstrong could probably outrun it on his bicycle, even if his drug of choice was marijuana ... So what happens is, you’re sitting there on the highway, going 55 miles per hour because the Hummer doesn’t appreciate being asked to go any faster than that, and you’d like to pass the time with a nice conversation with your passenger.
