Be honest. You’re very comfortable and happy with the fact that fireworks are illegal in Connecticut right?

I honestly think the GMC Hummer EV Pickup is ridiculous; probably as much as the Earth-Savers hated the GM Hummer Division H2 and H3 back in the day. The advent of the EV as a different propulsion platform has always been as a theoretical improvement in local air quality purpose as well as a global climate-change prevention purpose. To make a 3.0-second, 9,000-pound off-road truck (that would sink in the mud quite easily on the tire size it has) as an EV is a joke; which is GM's intent in my opinion (i.e. poke-in-the-eye). Let's see if the Earth-Savers comeback and start vandalizing (EV) Hummers again; a paradox for them for sure.
