AM General Hummer: the anti-social social climber

Article Abstract:

The AM General Hummer is 4-wheel-drive off-road vehicle that is nonetheless being bought by suburbanites for its shock value. A fully equipped 4-door model can cost from $60,000 to $85,000. It is a superior wilderness tracker but is noisy on the highway and unwieldy in town, and is not recommended.
