What vehicle is more obscene than a Hummer or H2?

[mcscajun]

A Stretch H2 -- seen 'em before, saw one again on 57th & 7th Avenue in NYC Saturday night.

[tk2kewl]

1. When I was googling limos for my wedding a few years ago...

I came across a company with H2 limos staffed with height-challenged? waiters to serve drinks. :yoiks:

[wildhorses]

2. i can't help it---

i like their commercial where it turns into a submarine:hide:

[mcscajun]

5. Did it stay down?

One can only hope. :evilgrin:

[skygazer]

3. They must have to charter a gas tanker to follow them around

and fill it up every 4 blocks. :eyes:

Ugly. But then I think stretch limos are tacky and ugly anyway. I'd rather ride in the back of a vintage Rolls or something.

[mcscajun]

6. Stretched vehicles don't have the most comfortable ride, either.

I'm with you...a vintage Rolls would be far better. :)

4. a neighbor of mine has a Ford Excursion

or the Ford Subdivision as I call it. It barely fits in her driveway.

Here's another obscene pic

[mcscajun]

7. "Ford Subdivision" -- I like it.

:applause: I'll use it. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Dave Barry has a bit from about 10 years ago about the Chevy "Subdivision"...

That's what he calls the Chevy Suburban. :hi:

[kath]

33. And how 'bout the Ford Exhibitionist?

[mcscajun]

42. That's a good one, too.

:hi:

[Initech]

8. What about pickup trucks raised 5 - 6 feet off the ground?

The way I see it - if it requires a ladder to gain entry to your vehicle, you're stupider than I thought.

[TheMightyFavog]

10. With the illegaly modified exhaust systems that rattle windows when they accelerate?

For some reason, I never see the cops pull these things over for illegal exhaust mods.

[mcscajun]

11. Yeah, I've looked at those monster trucks on their big-ass wheels

(street trucks, not show vehicles) and it always makes me wonder WHO wants to climb (literally) in an out of a vehicle like that?

[skygazer]

19. I once saw a Chevy Nova someone did that to

Stupidest looking vehicle I've ever seen in my life. Some people have too much time and money on their hands.

[TheMightyFavog]

9. May I present the International CXT

They had one of these plastered with the Vault Energy Drink logo at our Homecoming parade last fall.

[mcscajun]

12. JEEEEEEE-SUS on a trailer hitch.

:wow:

[NoPasaran]

14. As you wish

[mcscajun]

16. Thank you,

thank you very much. :::channelling Elvis:::

[Dukkha]

24. I was going to suggest that one too

and if someone wanted to buy it I'd suggest to them that Viagra is a much cheaper solution to their problem.

[Orsino]

32. "Sorry about your penis!" I yelled...

...as the behemoth passed.

[XNASA]

13. The Oscar Mayer Weinermobile

[mcscajun]

15. Aw, c'mon. That's high camp stuff.

I'd love to be one of the drivers, frankly. :)

[NoPasaran]

17. As Freud said

Sometimes a weiner is just a hotdog.

[ironflange]

18. Come on, the Weenie Mobile is waye kul!

I'll bet it gets pretty good mileage, too, it's nicely streamlined. I've had the privilege of seeing a Wiener Mobile not once, but twice!

[XNASA]

21. It's nicely streamlined alright.

It's obscenely streamlined.

[ironflange]

22. Hey, don't blame the messenger

What you do with your Oscar Mayers is your own business. :evilgrin:

[NightWatcher]

20. how'd you like to be rear-ended by that thing and then have to explain

it to your insurance carrier.

[ironflange]

23. Hahahaha!!

"Yes, I was rear-ended by a. . . giant. . . uh. . ."

[lutefisk]

25. You should see it when it's excited

The weinermobile drivers are instructed to stay 300 feet away from any buns.

[electron_blue]

26. obscene. Yesterayd I saw a hummer in m y town with one of those 'save the environment' vanity

plates that our state has. Wtf?

[july302001]

29. confused

LOL. Someone's kinda confsued confused...

[Hangingon]

28. Over size dualie diesel pickups

I see a bunch of them around here. They are often left idling in the parking lot while the owners grocery shop.

[Bucky]

30. They run on Viagra

And they run over grannies crossing the street. Suspension so smooth you don't even feel it.

[Orsino]

31. NASCAR racers, maybe. Maybe.

Hard to beat a Hummer.

[DainBramaged]

40. Boooo, hissssss, boooooo go knit socks then

[kath]

34. There's also the Kenworth Pilgrimage:

[CanuckAmok]

35. Funny thing is... that's a parody, but it doesn't need to be....

...because these are real:

36. Obscene? I consider them ugly, wasteful, and tasteless, but the only vehicles I consider obscene

are ones with W stickers on them. Or the Bush presidential limo. I don't much care what someone else drives. One Hummer more or less isn't going to save or kill the planet. The problem is way deeper than that. If we were all as serious about this as we claim, we wouldn't be typing on our computers this late at night for recreational purposes. How much energy would we save by turning out the lights and computers and going to bed? Not as much as driving a Prius over a Hummer, certainly, but enough to not feel so goddamned smug and superior.

And no, this isn't personal. I own a Prius, an 82 diesel that I try to run on biodiesel (though the car isn't running now), and a four cylinder cheapo car that gets 32 mpg.

[Hardrada]

37. How about those big Mercedes touring cars that Hitler

was always riding around in to the cheering adulation of the German Volk?

Does anyone have a pic of one?

[jobycom]

38. Okay, yeah, generally anything with a Nazi flag can be safely called obscene.

:(

[mcscajun]

43. I'm not weighing in on environmental or political obscenity here.

Just two of the pure definitions: disgusting to the senses; so excessive as to be offensive. That's all. I'm being purely subjective here, not smug or superior.

[jobycom]

46. Well, alright, by that definition, you've convinced me.

:)

[DainBramaged]

39. A stretch Lincoln Navigator?

:hug: :pals: :hi:

[mcscajun]

44. Nearly a twin in looks, ain't it?

:hi:

[DainBramaged]

41. Wait, this is the best of the worst

The International® (GXT/MXT/RXT Family of pickups.)


MXT hauler



RXT™ Hauler (fifth wheel)



They only make a few hundred a year each. Over $100 large.

http://www.gizmag.com.au/go/5181/

[mcscajun]

45. Looks identical *(to these untrained eyes, anyway)*

to International CXT posted way upthread.

[DainBramaged]

48. RXT is duallie version of CXT, MXT going after Hummer

as it is really only a bit larger and an actual truck than can put 2 tons in the bed and tow 7 tons. (Let me have one for one day, just one so I can park next to evey Hummer I see).

[deepthought42]

47. Escalades are pretty obscene...meh. n/t
