Full disclosure: I don’t drive a hybrid; I drive a gas guzzling Tahoe. (Though I do use ethanol!) I like my monster, and I like being able to go where I want, haul what I want, schlep around whoever I want, and do this all whenever I want. However call me hypocritical, but this hasn’t stopped me from developing a healthy hatred of fellow GM SUV, the Hummer. I’m not really mad at them for their low gas mileage; I’m more mad at that good ‘ole misguided “LOOK AT ME!” mentality that these things just ooze. I mean say what you will about energy usage in today’s society, but I think most non-douches out there can agree that these monstrosities posess that certain “Je ne sais quois” that douches around the world posses. What does this car say to its fellow asphalt cruisers? Why it says, “HEEEEEEEY!! LOOK AT ME!! MY PENIS IS HUMONGOUS AND I’M NOT COMPENSATING FOR ANYTHING!!” in a way that no other non-modified SUV does. I mean, it’s very common to see modified versions of these things that have wheels so large that the vehicle has effectively been neutered of all off-road capability, thus making GM’s main selling point completely useless. It’s one douchey thing to buy a given car solely for show, but these people have modified their vehicle to make it all about show. That also makes them super-douches.
