I'm the luckiest guy on the upper east side...A very late (and unsolicited) entry for Why They Hate Us.
I mean, seriously. I took this photo with my eyes all agog from various radioactive chemicals that Dr. Himmler the Optometrist forced on me, so it's sorta soft focus, but just to be clear: THIS IS A FUCKING STRETCH HUMVEE. It's moments like these that offer a Ted Kazcynski-like clarity to my thoughts. I should've stayed on the farm. Posted by Dana at 09:29 AM

Oh My God!
I was on 62nd street on Saturday night and saw that monstrosity myself. I turned to lisa and said "Am I seeing things or was that a fucking stretch hummer?" She nodded with a slightly stunned look in her eye.
What possible purpose could this vehicle serve. Is it for those occasions when you wanna be chauffered over underbrush while sipping martinis and watching DVD porn?
Plus what kinda milage could that thing get, 2 miles per teaspoon?

Posted by: dong resin at November 5, 2003 09:57 AMOh, you parochial East Coasters. We've been rocking stretch Hummers out here in Los Angeles for years. What are you guys going to discover next - - low-riding jeans?

Posted by: monk at November 6, 2003 08:12 AMI hate to agree with a Californian, but I've seen those for years too...but it only means that you hang out in cooler parts of town than me, right?
Posted by: lindsay at November 6, 2003 10:28 AMits not cooler to have a strech hummer is overcompensation. soemthing californians have been dealing with forEVER
Posted by: navahjoe at November 6, 2003 10:52 AMI first saw one of those in Times Square 4 years ago, parked outside Virgin Megastore. Apparently it had been rented by the Pet Shop Boys, who were inside signing autographs. I'm sure they knew exactly how fabulously, grandiosely tacky it was, and were riding around in it for larfs.
People riding in them today, however, are neither early adopters nor cheeky ironists, and should be summarily drafted and sent to Iraq.
(The white Hummer stretch limo is an icon of our times for my friends at the Maison du Chic...)

Being "ironic" or "doing it first" excuses conspicuous consumption and enviornmental arrogance on this scale? I don't think so. Assholedom is not determined by the cool factor of the person.
