When I went to Genius training in Cupertino back in early 2008, Woz came by the retail training labs and took 4 of us to get hamburgers in his Hummer. I remember he bought extra burgers for his dogs and had a machined metal business card. Just a helluva nice guy, shot the breeze about all sorts of stuff. Real nerdy, Nixie tube watch and all =)

Hope he's alright.

I wish you hadn’t told me he drove a Hummer, cause I think less of him now

That was my first reaction reading about the Hummer but then I remembered that Woz has a childlike interest in the world. His driving a Hummer is more akin to his wanting to know what it’s like to ride in a Tonka truck rather than his showing off a gas-guzzling statement piece. Plus, he likely owned it only for a short while before being curious about a a totally different kind of car.
