Zach's mother, Pearl Friedlis, echoes this sentiment. "We bought our children high-end vehicles because we wanted them to be safe," she said.
No, you bought them because you're fame ****** who want the attention to trickle down. God help the neighbours seeing your kids in affordable sub-compacts.

Hummers are considered safer than other cars out on the road because they generally crush whatever they hit. Either that or their ride height is so damned high that they simply run over whatever they hit or are hit by.

H1 = 100k+
H2 = 100k/2 = 50k
H3 = 100k/3 = 33k
Or maybe it's the % of a normal brain the owner retains.

And while the added armor protects occupants from gun fire and some IED's, the added weight makes the HMWWV extremely slow and prone to overheating and breakdowns in the most inoppertune times (like when you're being attacked) - even more so.
Yup, American taxdollars at work.
