A pink Hummer?

On the way home from the gym today, I was two cars behind a bubblegum pink Hummer. Let that sink in. A bubblegum pink Hummer.

Due to the angle, I couldn’t get a look at the driver, so I’m forced to ponder what type of person decides they want to drive a masculinity substitute like the Hummer, and then paint it pink. Perhaps it’s a subversive statement. Maybe Mary Kay is trying to appeal to an entirely different demographic. Maybe a woman won the behemoth in a divorce and decided to add insult to injury by painting it pink. Maybe the owner wasn’t getting enough attention with the behemoth and decided that a bright pink would be the best way to draw the eye to the monstrosity.

It may rate as one of the weirdest things I’ve seen in 2009.

  1. The pink hummer is the new pink cadillac

  2. Large number of big SUVs in here are driven by women. And I can understand why. The attitude of an average czech driver makes you want to be surrounded by as much metal as possible when you hit the road.

    So a pink tank is not as weird as you might imagine.

      @Jakub Well, Florida is a bit different — though the driving skills by some here leave quite a lot to be desired. Still… I just can’t see wanting to drive one of those monstrosities, much less a bright pink one…
