All i can think is: that hummer probably spent more gas backing ni and out of the spot than you did getting to and from the mall... :lol:

He wishes he could get another vehicle for around town things. At the time, he can only afford the truck so that is what he uses everyday.

My theory for this is that more pickup drivers actually have a reason for driving a pickup. While it is certainly an image thing for some people, where I have lived (North Dakota and now Spokane) a pickup is a work vehicle, used to haul construction or farm goods. SUV's, on the other hand, are only rarely bought for the right reason (driving on unmaintained rural roads or pulling very heavy trailers). They are most often bought by people who have been conned by Detroit into believing that their precious children will be safer in an SUV (something we know to be false). And they buy them without ever learning how to handle such a large vehicle. Most streets and parking lots were not designed with such wide vehicles in mind, and the clearances are too small for them.

Yeah, like it will fit!! After several attempts they tend to give up and then I get that spot.

Hummers always look so ridiculous in the grocery store parking lot. It's as if you need a military vehicle to pick up the groceries.
