Fear the Hummer

I hope my attachment works, this is my first time trying. I parked in front of a lifted Hummer, I just had to take a pic of it. I think it'd leave a dent or two in a head on collision with my mini D:

It may have size, we have agility. Cool pic.

My brother has an H2 Hummer (which stays parked a lot lately).
He got a kick out of this badge I put on my MINI:

I can relate. Howerver mine was with a lifted Ford F-350 Dualie and it wasn't just parked in front of me. It was parked ON TOP of Nigel [totaled].

For those of you who were following tmy hread. I ended up going with Nigels clone that I found from a private seller. I picked it up about ten days ago. Deja Vu all over again! I'll post pcituures as soon as I get my camera to work.

I usually have that view out of my rearview mirror....my MINI seems to be a Hummer-attracter, and they like to get very close. I test my eye sight regularly, seeing if I can read their VIN.

Hey, you could always just drive UNDER the Hummer. There seems to be enough room...

I've found them to seek out the parking spaces next to my car. Seeing that I always park on an end and hug the curb, there is usually a Godly amount of room left in my space. Hummer drivers just can't help grabbing the next space over and enjoying all the extra room.
