The Rumor Mill

Rumors are flying (as rumors are wont to) that Arnold Schwarzenegger has sold his fleet of Hummers, which, let's face it, would make sense for a governor who recently signed the country's most ambitious climate change legislation and whose attorney general has filed suit against six automakers for damages related to the greenhouse emissions their products produce.

Unfortunately, The San Francisco Chronicle's Carla Marinucci says there's nothing to the story. Not only does the Terminator still own his trademark Hummers, but his much-touted hydrogen-fueled Hummer remains largely mythical.

On the other hand, it is true that Bill Clinton took delivery of a "Presidential Edition" Mercury Mariner hybrid, just in time for the former Commander-in-Chief's big show in Manhattan.

Who knows? Arnold may make the switch yet.

This will remain my point when it comes to Arnold and his Hummer fleet. He can't drive them all at once. Were he to sell his fleet to a multitude of different drivers they would be driven much more then they are now and at the same time. Let the Governator keep his museum fleet and be grateful they are not on the streets.
