When we were going to the immigration interview we must have seen four Hummers on the road, one was an H2 actually, but it reminded me of going to the car show while I was pregnant.
There was a show at Epcot where several car manufacturers showcased their “top of the line” cars and let you drive them on obstacle courses, or just around the lots. My husband wanted to go because he would get to drive a Hummer if we played our cards right. I was telling Mum how the regular obstacle courses were bumps and small inclines but the Hummer got to drive over huge tires and up a huge mound of dirt. I’d hoped it would get hubbie off of his yin to buy a Hummer, but it only intensified his wish to own one some day.
I’m not sure if I should be inclined towards happiness or perturbedness that he doesn’t go for things like the popular Mustang muscle cars. Either way it’s an expensive vehicle and we don’t seem to have much luck with cars staying in good repair. However he’s practical and is willing to shelve his desire for such a car until we’re able to afford it rather than putting us in further hoc.
Still that doesn’t stop you from dreaming. On the upside something like a Hummer might in theory be better able to deal with the potential soccer teams or something like that but I don’t think I could drive it. I’m really not sure what my dream car would be by comparison. I’d settle for something that had a slightly bigger trunk so it was easier to get the stroller in and out (but that’s not going to be a need forever) and something with a bit more cabin space so that the car seat fits better and my husband can still push the seat back as far as he needs, oh, and with good gas mileage. My current car gets 28 mpg if I’m very careful but my husband’s old car got less than half that.
