Ah yes a red hummer super incognito no way they’ll find them 🤣
They went to Earl Scheib this morning for a makeover.
That’s scary.
That’s close by.
This is one instance when I wish we had cameras taking license plate numbers.
A red Hummer should be pretty easy to find.
Red Hummer? That’ll stick out like a sore thumb. They require frequent visits to gas stations.
Not if it’s a GMC EV Hummer…
Big difference between what most people would recognize as a Hummer (Humvee), and a GMC Hummer…
I REALLY needed a good laugh today! Thank you!! Still chuckling!!!🤣😂🤣
Vehicle description could/should be more specific…
”Red GMC Hummer EV”…???
Continued…
Or red Humvee Hummer…???
Don’t get it confused with a hummer from a redhead
Oops–your nom-de-plume says Rick.
It’s not a ev there’s only one red hummer in willow
It could be from anywhere, not necessarily the “one Red Hummer in Willow Creek.
How bout them flock cameras, huh?
Which is worse, firing shots into an occupied dwelling or owning a Hummer?
Yes.
Depends on which one hits you
