Saw this sticker today.

It goes right along with the " I am RAM " commercials.

Good thought but I fear too many big words for most Hummer drivers.

A 747-400 can transport 524 passengers 8350 miles at a speed of 567 MPH on one fill-up, not because it is weak, but because it is aerodynamic.

Even a Hummer driver ought to be able to understand that.
