Hummers

June 4th, 2008 at 03:08 pm

Do any of you know of anyone that drives a hummer?? I saw on the news yesterday that they may quit making those cars. They use so much gasoline that no one wants to buy them anymore.
In my small town, there are many hummers. A lot of Real estate agents bought them to take their clients out to look for property.
We talked to someone yesterday that bought a great big diesel pick up a few months ago for $50,000. When gas went up, he tried to trade it in for something smaller. All he can get on a trade in for this NEW truck is about $30,000.
Thank goodness, I usually only use 10 gallons of gas a week!!(or less)

    There are quiet a few Hummers in the 'burb next to ours. And most are driven by what we call "soccer moms" who, in my opinion, have no business driving a utility vehicle. I will be glad to see them go--they take up two spaces trying to park in our work lot and they tend to not be able to see me in my sedan. Yikes!

    People are most definitely taking better MPGs into consideration now. And finding ways to save gas.

    I always thought they were really cool looking and kind of wanted one, but I only really wanted one where I had unlimited resources and money for my entire life (i.e., only in my dreams). I can't imagine having to fill a 50 gal tank with gas prices the way they are!

    YEah, they are still all over our neighborhood.

    We did notice the most obnoxious realtors in our neighborhood haven't been driving their Hummer around. Dh mentioned it so I snooped around and gathered since they were working for other realtor offices that their business had dissolved.

    We had to snicker to see that news - you don't know how obnoxious they were. They were pretty obsessed with keeping our neighborhood prices way over-inflated, well after the writing was on the wall, and were nasty to us when we tried to sell at what we thought was a reasonable price. I was always suspicious they bought a home behind us (that they were hired to sell) to keep the price inflated. It sold a couple of times for very high, and then foreclosed. The whole thing was always fishy to me. They were trying to sell it for a good $100k over the market when we put our home up, so we had some words at the time.

    My understanding was that GM was considering selling their Hummer division, but as far as I know they will still be manufactured.

    That said, I don't see how there can be much demand for them. But I've never seen the attraction, even before gas went up.

    Paying $50,000. for a pick-up is not too bright, but selling it at a $20,000.00 loss is even worse. Even at $4.75 a gallon, for diesel, that would purchase 4,410 gallons of fuel, which most pick-up drivers are not going to use any time soon!

    You are right nance, he really should just keep it.

    I've always thought they were cool-but heard that they only get 8 miles a gallon!!! I've ridden in presidential Escalades for book events- now they are HOT!! But they only get 10 miles a gallon!!
