There's a few things that should remain away from roads.
- Animals
- Children and their toys
- large ugly SUVs
I don't like big 4WD vehicles in the city at the best of times, especially when I know the only off-road experience they will ever encounter is while being parked for the annual Leeuwin Estate Concert in Margaret River.
While these urban assault vehicles (UAVs) are common in Australia (having started with the less invasive Jeep a couple of decades ago), I was hoping we would not be subjected to further levels of US military commercialisation. Thanks to Arnold Schwarzenegger's insistence, the USA is riddled with oversized shopping trolleys.
Alas! I saw my first Hummer on the streets of Perth last week. It was big, black, ugly and made me double check to ensure I wasn't in Falujah or L.A.
As if the current range of Hummers are not bad enough, the world is now warned of an even more intrusive behemoth coming to a shopping centre near you!
If you share my views on these beasts of burden then you are likely to appreciate this site
