Why is this man smiling?


That's an honest question: what does a man who makes it his business to sell overpriced, embarrassingly out-of-date, and soon-to-be discontinued Hummers have to be happy about? Pet rock salesmen are more successful these days.

After much thought, I've come to this conclusion: it's a shit-eating grin, and the near-worthless overstock at his ghost-town dealership has left him with a lot to chew on.

When the Hummer brand goes the way of the AMC Pacer and its moron owners suddenly find themselves without replacement parts or services (rendering their tacky vehicles even more worthless than they already are) you will find me dancing on its grave, in the streets.

They should bring back the AMC Pacer, isn't that the car that Wayne had in Wayne's World? I would drive that.
