Catch up, guys - there's a Hummer dealership in Omaha, and I've seen several of the damn things in town.
It's not just the rich and famous - sometimes it's just the rich and stupid.
Also: someone asked why more people aren't buying hybrids. For me, it IS simple economics. I've never paid over $17K for a car. Last time I needed to buy one, hybrids were 25-30K. Also, the Prius was just coming out, was almost unavailable, and reliability wasn't a known factor.
I love the idea of hybrids - and my next car will surely be one (unless other, better technologies are available) - but I'm still paying for the very small car I bought (one of those no-interest, no-down sales.) My current car has several more years of use coming...particularly if I find a reliable alternative fuel & a way to use it (read: biofuel/reused vegetable oil type things.)
