Anyone else find that their ME/NA SO is absolutely OBSESSED with Hummers? My fiance tells me he dreams about driving one in the states :blink: He calls them Hammers though... :lol:

I have no idea what kind of car he has right now as he just got a different car, and all he told me about it is that it's red, "to match (my) car." (I drive a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am....and before anyone tells me to get rid of it and run as fast as I can, believe me I KNOW!!! I want an 80's Saab!!!)

...as much as I DON'T like Hummers...I'm thinking of renting a stretch Hummer for our wedding. Right, like I can afford this...but it would make him sooooooo happy! :whistle: Stretch hummers have fireplaces.

Divorced. To hell with him.

My husband does not even have his drivers license yet and for some reason, he has it in his head that when he gets a new car he's getting something HUGE and EXPENSIVE. :huh: I am always telling him he needs a cheap reliable car when he does start driving and I always hear "but I'm a man....blah, blah, blah) My dad and I have been trying to teach him how to drive and it's just a very scary story. My dad used to teach men in the military how to drive and he says my husband scares the poo out of him! I just got a new car 2 months ago and I can't even count how many times he's rammed into curbs. I can just visulize him in his big expensive car knocking everyone off the road! :wacko:

Maybe he will change his mind once he realizes Hummer's get about 12 miles to a gallon. Not the most gas efficient vehicles. :)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

:lol: YES. Ramy's backup if I won't let him have a hummer is a Lincoln. If he wants to pay for gas.... he has his heart seton driving one before his 25th birthday and I told him we could rent a hummer for his birthday. And his response was "well you were right about the hammer but i will be the owner whom you will rent it from ok ..................just wishing"

He likes convertables too, so maybe we could find a nice, efficient little convertable. (yeah right!!!!)

Divorced. To hell with him.

My husband has been driving since 2 days after he got here and is ready Monday to take the driving test. He wants an older Mercedes or BMW and he has his eye on this one at the car lot. I have to admit it is very nice, haven't test drove it or anything as I told him that will come when he has a job.

I am greatful mine doesn't like the Hummers, he asked me have you ever seen inside one the are ugly. He likes sporty fast cars, but the older one's I guess that is because he is older 42.

He has been driving since his second day here and to be honest, I don't know what it is with guys and Hummers (I need to find a better way to say that, but you know what I mean). Right now he is driving a Nissan Pathfinder that we bought a few weeks ago. Its really nice, fully loaded it even has built in Nav which is great for him. I drive an Acura TL which I LOVE.

VJ Hours - I am available M-F from 10am - 5pm PST. I will occasionaly put in some OT for a fairly good poo slinging thread or a donut.

Mine drives a 90's BMW something-or-other that he likes a lot. Hummers are really high on his list but what he really wants is a Jeep. I'm thinking of trading my pt cruiser for a Jeep or a smaller SUV. I hate being so low to the ground here in Texas where everything floods when a teaspoonfull of rain falls. Its just beyond ridiculous!

Mine has been driving since he got here. Drove my car a 2005 Hyundai Elantra until he was working. Then bought himself a 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is the dream car he had always wanted! No hummers...although BMW's are nice he says! But a jeep................ :thumbs:

My hope is that he'll go for something sporty rather than an SUV (haha) but that's doubtful. I have to admit, while I don't like SUVs, the newer Jeeps look nice.

My mom just bought an '06 Hyundai Elantra after her '96 Neon's timing belt let go, and she loves it.

Divorced. To hell with him.

Sam has Fiat he drives now. In conversations about what type of car he wants to get here in US it is 4X4. :unsure: I asked him if he plans on doing off road driving here and he says no, but he still wants a 4x4. Jeep is the brand he names. We will see what happens with that IF and WHEN he gets his visa to come.

He is a very good driver for the traffic there in Cairo, but here I don't know. I told him that we actually STOP at the red lights instead of ignoring them LOL. It seems if you try to stop for a signal light in Cairo you might get run over!! He thinks if he can manage to drive there he will be able to drive anywhere, but I told him there are rules here and you will get ticket if you don't follow them. He was shocked when he found out he would have to take a written driving test to get a license....lol. His cousin has a drivers license there and can't drive. I asked him how he got it without knowing how to drive and he said,just filled out the application!!! :wacko:
