Hummer owner gets angry message
Vandals batter D.C. man's SUV, slash its tires and scratch in an eco note

Updated: 2 hours, 57 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - On a narrow, leafy street in Northwest Washington, where
Prius hybrid cars and Volvos are the norm, one man bought a flashy gray
Hummer that was too massive to fit in his garage.

So he parked the seven-foot-tall behemoth on the street in front of his
house and smiled politely when his eco-friendly neighbors looked on in
disapproval at his "dream car."

It lasted five days on the street before two masked men took a bat to
every window, a knife to each 38-inch tire and scratched into the body:
"FOR THE ENVIRON."

"The thought of somebody vandalizing it never crossed my mind," said
Gareth Groves, 32, who lives with his mother in a three-story home in
the 3400 block of Brandywine Street NW in American University Park.
"I've kind of been in shock."

Looks of satisfaction
Now, as Groves ponders what to do with the remains of his $38,000 SUV,
he has been the target of a number of people who have driven by the
crime scene in his upscale neighborhood and glared at him in smug
satisfaction.

This is great but the real problem with these monstrosities is not the
threat to the environment but the threat these highway tanks pose to
other drivers.  That's why all the psychos buy them.
