WashPost offers 8 "Green" uses for your Hummer
This is perfectly silly, of course, but some of the suggestions from the Washington Post newspaper are rather appealing--they include converting your Hummer from a gas-guzzling conveyance to
"2. A radio. Roll down the windows and turn the key to the car's electronic setting. Blast music during a basketball game or barbecue. When the truck's battery dies, use an actual radio."
They also suggest turning your Hummer into a sauna . . .

Oh. I especially liked Hummerhenge. Then, centuries from now, anthropologists can try to figure out why man was so stupid as to think that owning one would be a good idea.
9. Battering Ram. Used at construction sites for demolition, and way faster than the real thing because of its girth.
10. Underground Bunker. Should there be a nuclear holocaust, you and your family can hold up inside it until the All Clear.
11. Media Room. Convert your basement into a Hummer Multiplex, or leave it outside and bring back the fifties' Drive-In.
12. Tagger's Ladder. In the middle of the night, taggers can drive their Hummers below the roadsigns of choice, stand on the cab, and spray-paint to their artistic hearts' content.
13. Statuary. Forget the regal and stately lions flanking the steps of the New York Public Library. Heave a couple of Hummers up there and show historians what we really worshipped.
Okay. I'll stop.
I hex Hummers everytime I see one, and there are plenty of them on the roads in SoCal.

Just visiting this thread, almost a year old ...
Wondering how Hummer dealers are doing. Not that I have any sympathy for 'em, but just wondering.
If all the folks in the States who threw all that money into their Hummers had bought a Chrysler instead ... then who knows, maybe all the jobs that are about to be lost with Chrysler might not have been lost.
Maybe.
