Stupid H2 Questions

[JamesT]

I got asked the most stupid question today. A guy stopped me in a parking lot and remarked that my rig looked great. He asked how much of a lift kit I had on it. I told him that it had a 6" lift kit. Now...the key part of my answer was " 6 inch lift kit ". Now, here is the STUPID question. So he asked "So, what, that raises it up about 4"'s right?"

After I digested the question I asked him where the short bus was that dropped him off. He was pissed but I dont care. What a moron! Told me I was nothing but a rich *******. At least he got the second part right.

Curious to see what other Stupid H2 questions there are out there.

Wow... 6" lift raising it 4"... genius.

That guy didn't happen to look like this did he?

[KenP]

Does that truck really weigh 8500 lbs?
Did that really cost 100k.
Do you think my son would like one for a graduation present? (Coming from a smelly, toothless, Vega driving, dirty cloths wearing woman)
I'll think of more, but all were asked in a sincere manner. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

[JamesT]

As a matter of fact, that is exactly what he looked like.

I'm not surprised.

[partsguy]

The guy was a moron I agree. But to show a picture of a PERSON with a disabilty(mine happens to be spelling)That
is way below everyone here!
Off my soap box now,just grabbed me the wrong way.

[ROX]

I had a guy roll up on his "little rascal" and ask me how I liked my H2. That was no big deal, until he commented that he was thinking about buying one. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/im/tntl.gif ('http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008_ZNxdm867YYUS')(I'm desperately trying not to laugh at this point, I was thinking his dog might be trained to eat people that laugh) My reply was, "Do you think you'll be able to climb in it?" He said he could probably do it, but then he wanted to know the million dollar question: "How much does one of these cost?" I swear its true!
I was in front of West Marine at the time.

[JamesT]

That bugs me too when people ask how much they cost.

[lexpro]

Every since i had my first expensive car i always reply "all at once or over 60 months"....

[rifle]

If it is a serious question I will tell them (a friend that is truly interested in buying one). Otherwise, my standard answer is "$22K-it was a demo." Then you can see the gears turn.

[KenP]

I like that response, Rifle. I think I'll have to try it out. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Andy C]

The standard question when I had mine was "Hey how much did that cost ya"

I did have a belittling experience in an Aston Martin dealers in South Florida once though - I was killing a bit of time - went in there to look at a V12 Vanquish - for a laugh - walked in and sat in the show room model - dressed in a pair of shorts and a T shirt.
This snotty looking English salesman walked over and asked me to get out of the car - I pointed into the parking lot and said "That happens to me my H2 out there"

He just sneered at me and replied "Sir the wheels on this car cost more than that did"

I left.

you should have replied that those wheels cost more than his education too... and than walked out.

Also, that pic, Dirty, wasn't cool!

Yeah - but he was telling the truth though.

[H2Finally]

I got that "how much" question all the time too (together with "mpg?"). I'll tell them the numbers, and continue "but this is BY FAR the most fun car I've ever owned!" I'll tell them about John Bull, show them the battlescars on my paint, the crumpled exhaust under, the painted over deep gauges on both front and back bumpers... before you know it, most would say, "man, that does sound FUN! I gotta check it out at the dealers!"

Maybe that's why my wife said I should get a weekend job selling H2 at the dealers... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[devilsfan]

I enjoy the cost question when it's asked by some moron in an overpriced Range Rover or Benz. I tell them "$16,000 less than my husband's freakin' Escalade" and that shuts them up for a while, trying to figure that one out. After all, the Slade is just another Tahoe!

My fav dumb question: "Does it drive like a truck?" Nooooo....it drives just like a Maybach. Just heavier. And a LITTLE bit stiffer in the turns. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[Arizona Hummerboy]

I had some punk ass kid who was working at a parts store, busting my balls on the frame of the Hummer H2, he was giving me a lot of **** about it. I told the little ass hole, that the Hummer H2 was on a 1966 VW BUS Frame. The guy standing next to me drop his case of oil on the floor, he then walk over to the door and looked out at the Hummer, he then said " I be damn!, Well I be go to hell, that looks as big as a VW BUS" I walk out of the store with a BIG SMILE, that was the best one I pull off yet. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[dochummer]

I was filling up at the station once, and some guy and his wife pull up in an old yugo or something brownish/green...He asks me how I like the h2...I figured he was going to start throwing crap...but I tell him that I love it etc... Of course, he asks about price and gas mileage....Then he says, "I love that thing, of course my wife's a leaf-licker and she would kill me if she heard me say that." Definately threw me off guard....

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

Similar to reply above on payment issue. I reply with very calm serious normal tone.
"Not sure yet it depends on how many payments I get behind and how fast I catch up to hold done interest cost."
Most of the time it is a blank stare and You can see them trying to think of how to reply.
Usually it is OH OK, and walk off.

When asked about MPG I reply "Not sure as I have had it for 8 months and not finished first tank yet to figure MPG." Hoping to leave them thinking it gets really good MPG or it is so bad I can't afford to drive it enough to know MPG yet.

Always at the gas station will you find the dummies.

I was filling up next/in front of a Grand Cherokee when the driver shook his head talking to himself at first, "Junk, junk, what a waste of money."

I proceeded to stare at his girlfriend/wife.

He asked,"Why would you waste your money on that?"

I ignored him and kept staring at his girl who is staring back.

He raised his voice,"Hey! are you deft? Retarded? The small dick made you deft?"

Still ignoring him, staring at his woman with a slight grin now.

"**** you cocksucker!" As he realized what I was doing.

I finished filling up, replaced the nozzle and cap. All this time still staring at her and she's staring back. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I did an exagerrated mimic of, I'll call you later." And calmly hopped in the H2 laughing. At this point all I could hear were threats or invites to bodily harm.

I thought I heard his head explode as I slowly drove off. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Yetti]

Now if you don't Mind the fact I work in a Union Shop,and most folks there drive company vehicles(Dodges or Jeeps), then it would come as a suprise that I have been huranged about the H2 by the guys driving Geo's & Cavaliers. the one guy was going on about how much I didn't support the company as he was getting in his `81 linclon pile of ****. I asked him how many Dodge products he had purchased in the last ten years, he said he hadn't bought any.

what *******s!

[KenP]

Dennis, that's one of the funniest things I've read in awhile. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Next time you get a physical at the doctor's office and have to drop your pants do the same thing. Stare at the nurse. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif Guaranteed to make her blush!

[DennisAJC]

Ken,

Gas stations always have they're cameras rolling. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

If something did escalate, all the police would see is some guy standing absolutely still while the other guy is going ape****. Supremely hilarious.

[VTSTOMPER]

had my two yesterday!

Aside from the whats the MPG questions that I hear at least once a day...

I got the "80K, huh? WOW!"

Funny how most people ask me what I get paid too...assrags. I just answer with...why? Does it matter?

[Battlebugs]

I got one last night as I pulled into a supermarket parking lot. A couple in a beat up minivan smiled at me and asked "What color is your H2?" Not being one to come up with intelligent glib answers off the cuff and since the company didn't give us a cool "stealth" or "victory" adjective I replied, "It's small school bus yellow"...they stopped smiling...about then I noticed they were parked in a handicap spot...I slunk away. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[HummerLvr]

So yesterday I go to Target to get some supplies. The parking lot was packed, except for 1 space that was very near the entrance. It was a compact space and knowing that I could fit I decided to take advantage of the empty parking space. Just as I get out, a lady in a Subaru started to back out of the stall next to the one I parked in. We made eye contact and I smiled, she rolled down her window and with a really pissy look on her face said "Why don't you park in a space that you fit in". Of course that is when I notice her John Kerry bumper sticker and the nasty scowel on her face. I simply walked to the back of the truck, looked at the space markers and replied with a dumb founded look "But I do fit". She rolled up her window and floored her car. It was kinda funny and totally made my day. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Grim Reaper]

The stupidest question I was ever aked was at the pumps. I was about halfway through fueling when this guy comes up to me and says so this is the new Hummer hey. Then he says "so what
does it run on deisel??" http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I felt like saying Mister you ought to wear a sign instead i just smiled and said hope not.

Stupid H2 Questions:
When are you putting the steps back on? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[kacyk]

I think KenP mentioned this earlier but everyone (and I mean everyone) around here thinks I paid $100,000.00 for it! When my neighbor found out his Escalade EXT was about the same price he literally freaked out (because he really wanted a SUT). It never occured to him to check the price because he too thought these rigs were over a 100K.

Is this a favorable misconception? Perhaps. But it also causes some extreme biases and opinions against the vehicle and owner.

A guy in a porsche stops next to me in front of the traffic light.
Then he asked me: "for what do you need this useless car?" and grinned.

I answered: "to carry 6 people an tow two horses" and grinned back.
