flair bartending - Beyond Tiki

It might still be an automotive machine, but it has NOTHING to do with why people love classic cars or the aesthetic of classic cars. Classic cars are beautifully-crafted machines of style and elegance that are a joy to ride if well maintained. Hummers (unless you are in the military) are useless, tacky, pompous displays of conspicuous consumption that most people with half a brain and an ounce of culture would never buy. Personally, I always laugh when I see an Hummer H2 knowing that the owner foolishly paid $50,000 for a glorified Chevy Tahoe. (It's built on the same chassis.)
