The strangest thing

The strangest thing happened to me today. I was sitting in parking lot waiting for someone and a vehicle drove in and parked across the lot from me.
Picture this... A man gets out of his LARGE silver Hummer, wearing bright running shoes, shorts, a sweater and ball cap, scruffy as all hell. He takes two little children out of the back and walks into the building.
So the part that is strange is as soon as he drove past me I felt like I was going to be sick. I literly felt like I was going to see my lunch again. I am not sure what part made me sick. If it was the amount that man must pay for fuel. Or the lovley amount of exhaust he is putting into his wonderful children's air. I mean come on. This man has no need to have a hummer, he works in a freaken building all day.
In My Opinion - If you have the money to buy a Hummer then be cool, be trendy, be nice to the environment and spend your cash on a hybrid SUV. That is so much more practical than a damn Hummer.
Did you know that the Hummer was originally an army vehicle? So it is kinda like taking a wild animal and putting it in a pastier and saying well you need to be calm now. Or using a transport to do your errands. Why would you take a work horse of a vehicle and use it to drive the kids to school and pick up the groceries??
Grrrr I just don't get some peoples minds. But I guess if you have the money to buy a Hummer then you don't need to think about gas prices or any other small insignificant thing like the impact to the environment.

Let me say this. I am not just talking about this particular man. it is anyone that dose what I described above. Oh ya and some details have been changed or left out so that people are not pointed out.
