For him, they are tits.
For the seven people in hummers who parked near me this morning in my quaint little burb-coffee-shop parking lot, well, no. They could just as well drive Coopers. (Only here have I seen a PINK Hummer.)
I could actually use one, as I spend a fair amount of time negotiating old fire roads up north while carrying loads, in all seasons. But, no, I just could never actually buy one. Someone might see me at the mall.

That's about the only legitimate reason to own one. Oh yeah, that and to tell the world that you're a gas guzzling Republican with a small penis.
There really is no other reason to drive a vehicle that gets under 10 mpg (unless of course you're in the Iraqui desert.) And while I defend my right to drive my SUV (German of course) if I had to commute any distance, I would certainly trade it for a car that got better gas mileage.
