Hummer Dinger: Difference between revisions

A gigantic sport-utility vehicle, built under the philosophy that [[Bigger Is Better]]. Smaller cars, or at least their drivers, tremble in fear at its presence on the highway -- or maybe it's because the road itself is shaking under its weight. The name will be something bold and authoritative, like "Crusader" or "Kilimanjaro". It's filled with all sorts of equipment to help it tow trailers, climb mountains, and get through the rain, snow, sleet, hail, mud, and whatever else Mother Nature can throw at it... very little of which will be used by 90% of the people who buy it. Instead, it will most likely serve as a mall crawler in [[Suburbia]] (or a "[[Fun With Acronyms|suburban utility vehicle]]"), shuttling tots to soccer games and groceries back to the house. Fuel economy will be measured in either the single digits or in gallons per mile. The driver will be either a very tiny woman, a man [[Compensating for Something|in his midlife crisis]], or a celebrity (pro athletes, rap musicians and [[The Ahnold|action movie stars]] are the most common) using it to flaunt his wealth, in which case it will likely also be a [[Pimped -Out Car]]. When it comes time for Junior to get his or her license, expect the kid to shudder at the thought of having to maneuver the thing.
