I wouldn't - think theyre too freakin big and I like small and stealth... BUT...say you could drive a solar/EV hummer (the thing IS freakin big enough to host enough solar panels...) would you?

1. It's pointless and stupid to drive one of those behemoths in Chicago...
Or any other large city. I wouldn't, solar panels or otherwise.

When i was going car shopping i looked at the a few Hummers that were being sold out of my local Subaru dealer. The funny/sad part is on the price sticker they won't even list the gas milage.

they are unsafe because other people can't see around them. And they skid or roll over easily.

I confess, I think they are kind of cool. I go in for that industrial aesthetic. However, even a mythical 100% solar conversion efficiency wouldn't be enough to power a hog like that.

eat too much gas, gets low MPG, and pollutes the air.

Electricity isn't free, and solar isn't going to happen. Even if it were solar, it's still a danger to other cars on the road and I just don't like that. Not to mention that Hummers are totally fugly. :puke:

7. Aside from it's poor gas mileage...
A Hummer is a social status symbol, I would never be caught driving a "look at me I have social status" type vehicle...

They're enormous, unwieldy and I hear their repair record sucks. They're ugly too..they look like armored cars.

I told my husband that modified armored cars are going to be the next trend.

Hell no, they are way too wide for most of the dirt roads I would be frequenting. Be afraid of scrapping off the paint on the sides.
