Stretch Hummer Limos: Luxury Need Not Make Apologies

What’s the best way to show people that you have a lot of friends and love to party, while also letting people know that you hate the environment? If you guessed the Republican National Convention, you were wrong. If you guessed a Styrofoam and hairspray field party, you were also wrong. The correct answer: stretch Hummer limo.

What is it?

Due to a lack of partying on behalf of the U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, the stretch Hummer limo has been more successful on American soil (and by soil, I mean paved roads). Generally speaking, most stretch Hummer limousines are converted H2 Hummers, usually equipped with the same engine as a stock H2 Hummer. They get approximately three miles per gallon, which may mean you’ll have to make several pit stops for gas, but who cares? That’s the driver’s problem. You’ll be partying in the back the whole time. And actually, an abundance of pit stops may be a good thing, as you can fill up on “munchies” and necessary “chasers”.
