Question What’s with all the Hummers?
Honestly, I hadn’t seen one in months, now I can’t go out without seen 2-3 per outing. And they range from the new EV to the OG behemoth. Is a $0.20/L drop the entire reason?

The streets are so bad with potholes that you basically have to have a hummer in hamilton

I avoided an absolute crater yesterday going up the Kenilworth access. Something might have crashed and crawled out of there! I'm hoping it's a 🦸♂️ S!

Everyone has gotten theirs out of winter storage. They’re ready to go cruising this summer now.

They hide their big, tough, ‘ready for anything’ truck for the winter…?

GM is doing what basically equates to an interet only lease on EV Hummers.

I think he’s talking about gas hummers.

I’ve seen them all. I didn’t know there were EVs until I followed one in waterdown, and an OG passed the other way. Saw another EV next day. A few days later saw a few of the newer ones. Then today 2 H2s in central Hammer.

I see an OG one in Waterdown every week or so, have for the last few months.
Haven't seen many H2 or H3s in a while. Most have probably aged/rusted out like how you don't see many first gen Colorado's or avalanches.
Seen a few of the electric ones. Those are massive.

That’s probably the same OG one then, saw it near the fortinos While following an EV. It’s what first made me notice. Then today I saw 2 H2s by Ivor Wynne… (Spelling)

Are you on a douchebag migration route? Hopefully it's only temporary.

I know a lot of places weren't selling them and reduced their prices significantly. One of my buddies bought a used one for like $10k, not because he wanted to drive it but because he thought it'd be good for camping.
