Jerk of The Day

http://www.cleanmpg.com/photos/data/593/JOTD_03-31-08_11MPG_h2.jpg
...because every jerk thinks they are....Special!


Sighted by: atlaw4u
Vehicle: H2 Hummer
Place: Alaska
Date: Sometime in the early 21st century

To celebrate this Jerk of the Day, it seemed only appropriate to use the bright yellow seen on many H2s. The picture says it all: broadcasting his miserable 11mpg with a skull-and-crossbones hitch to boot. Real thugs like al-Qaeda don't mind the additional oil consumption.

Have stories of your own? Send them and your pictures and they will be the next Jerk of the Day!

I think you're right! With its high curbweight and poor emergency handling, it coudln't possibly avoid hitting the poor ugly stick. :eek:

Perhaps the Hummer driver was bragging his hypermiling skills -- 11 mpg must be 20-30 percent above EPA...

The poor owner of that Hummer has voluntarily branded themselves with the scarlet letter. Show some respect for a humble soul!

:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:Maybe we should have put a disclaimer on today's JOTD:

"No animals were harmed while taking this picture, but one Hummer driver should have felt like a complete idiot, except he was too self-absorbed"

There's one about "Mr. Enormous SUV Driver". I think Hummer's and Excursions fall into that category. :p

That reminds me of the Excursion I once saw doing 55...in the left lane. I mean, it's great to improve your fuel economy, but come on...that's what, 10 to 11? Might I suggest...a smaller car? :(

Yes, i saw the "mr enormous suv driver". I also like the one you did with hypermiling, verry fnny. I just thought this guy earned a category himself by advertising his shortcomings.

Bud Light presents Real Men of Genius
Real Men of Genius...

Today we salute you, Mr. Really Low Mileage Guy.
Mr Really Low Mileage Guy...

Jacked-up suspension? Check. Chrome plating? Check. 26-cylinder engine? Check. Loan application for fuel? Check.
Let's check it all out...

You advertise your extremely bad mileage in every way you can. And you don't give ten tons of truck what anybody else thinks.
That's right, motherf*cker...

Nevermind that you never actually take your dreadnought off the road. You're a proud patriotic American.
Land of the Free...

So truck on home, Mr. Really Low Mileage Guy and crack open a Bud Light. While you're at it, crack open a gas can to get home. In fact, feel free to crack open ten gas cans.

I'd have to win on lyrics alone.

When I'm singing, I'm either singing or I'm scratching on a chalkboard with hundreds of finger nails. :o
