Hummers qualify for the 6,000 lb vehicle tax benefit, that's one reason they are suddenly popular with RE agents.

Hummers aren't real practical for real estate agents, and not just because of the low gas mileage and heavy-duty tire replacement costs. For one thing, they're too big for customers and short people to easily get in and out of. Last time I had my car worked on at the local Cadillac/Hummer dealership, I got chauffeured to the pick-up lot in a huge Escalade. Asked the young driver why his boss wouldn't spring for a Hummer on this trip. He said the boss was about to switch him to a sedan, because women customers were complaining about how hard it is to climb in and out of the big things, and someone could get hurt.
