Why don't Hummer Drivers wave? [Archive]

I wave, but I hardly ever see any around here!

This reminds me of something funny.... a coworker of mine bought a used Wrangler Unlimited with the smiley face tire cover that has that saying "It's a jeep thing....". So when he was showing it to me (bragging actually), I said... "so how do you like being waved at by all the other jeeps?" and he looked at me like, what?, what are you talking about? So I laughed and said… "you know, ‘the jeep thing’, where the jeep owners wave to each other?” and he said “Ohhhhh, is that why people keep waving at me?, I just thought they were mistaking me for the previous owner and thought they knew me or something!” So I had to explain to him what ‘the jeep thing’ was! It was too funny. I then recommended that he remove the tire cover since he really doesn't understand.

I don't wave because of the safety factor. It’s really hard to talk on the phone, eat, mess with the stereo, steer with one knee and wave at the same time so I don’t wave anymore. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't wave anymore since Drty showed me this really cool thing I can do with my free hand.

It's like with the Corvette world. You need an "Save the wave" bumper sticker. I had one inside the window on my Vette, but it blew out one day I had the top down.

Female doesn't work either. They don't wave at me half the time. I just don't think they are paying attention to the road! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Maybe it's because their afraid they are going to get flipped off!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Jennifer... I'm female and get waved at.

Last week I was sitting at a red light, waiting to go straight and a white H2 coming in the opposite direction blinked his lights at me while turning left thru the intersection and in the process almost rear-ended the cars in front of him that had stopped. Was pretty funny. The next day I saw him again and that time he waved.

Kids usually wave. I find that guys just stare. Other H2 drivers will flash their lights. I think that guys who don't drive H2s are jealous that our vehicle beats the crap out of theirs, hands down! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I haven't seen anyone wave in my town, and I think the reason is that people here don't really buy H2's to belong to an off-roading brotherhood but rather as a status symbol, be they professionals such as doctors or lawyers, or be they drug dealers. Fortunately, drug dealers haven't discovered H2's yet; this city is flooded only with Escalades and Navigators, from the poorest sections to the most affluent neighborhoods you see at least one on every block(slightly exaggerating)

I never get waived at, and i have never waived....i didnt know about the waiving rule to fellow H2'ers. Even though i dont wave, i do have a tendency to check out every other h2 on the road to see if they have something that i like.

I was at a HUMMER happening in south Texas with a convoy of about 60 HUMMERS when we met an H2 going the opposite way. He got alot of waves. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

2 years ago everybody waved.(H2 people) Not so much anymore. It used to remind me of the boating wave but that seems to have died also. I try to wave but sometimes forget or am looking the wrong direction. Maybe it'll come back if gas prices go down and people are happier.

Most H2 drivers around here still wave. Of course then there are those like LoLo who forego the wave and just flash their lights! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Funny but not many H2 owners wave but I get lots of single finger waves. Usually at night when my headlights burn a hole in their retnas when I pull up behind them http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
