Why Did Hummer Stop Making Vehicles?
The Hummer (whichever model you're talking about) is a big, gas-guzzling beast that just doesn’t make sense for most people anymore, especially today.

Roadside Recovery
She'd had a lovely day. It was not often that she did lunch anymore. There was something about eating out in the middle of the day that spoke of leisure and luxury.
