Every American needs a Hummer and a van to make those labor intensive trips to the drive-through!

I thought you needed that kind of load carrying capacity for moving the average American housewife?
Fortunately, mine fits in the stook. She's so thin that if I don't strap her down, she'd blow out with the wind.
Segway:
Speaking of large vehicles, have you guys seen International's CXT?
Can you imagine parking one of those beasts outside an environmental meeting?

Funny comment from the land that brought us Lucas Electrics AKA "Prince of Darkness"
The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."
Lucas - Inventor of the first intermittent wiper.
Lucas - Inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.
The three position Lucas switch - Dim, Flicker and Off.
If Lucas made guns, wars would not start.
Back in the 70's, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which did not suck.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone. Thomas Alva Edison invented the Light Bulb. Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit.
Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: Check the position of the stars, kill a chicken and walk three times clockwise around your car chanting:" Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant."

I retract my earlier statements.
