My mouth sometimes gets ahead of me, but people like that are SO FRUSTRATING. Just be sure you have an exit...wait, I know...just drive OVER them! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Good for you to stand up for yourself!

What we have here is a failure to communicate.
I learned recently that PIMP is actually a good word, such as PIMPED OUT HUMMER. The B word in this case, which I will not even type out, could be a compliment from them. This very well could be the case.

I am glad you are 3000 miles away. You can have my wallet and my Hummer, please just let me live.

Believe it or not, he talks this way. He's a cop and for the most part, he acts professional at work and jokingly talks like those two did and it very funny in doing so.

MAC is right. Pimp used in this context was a compliment by them. "Bitch" wasn't! Its ghetto...period.

You got spunk!

HeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwwwwww

I have been lurking in the background for some time now. I think that this is the best forum ever.
I've had my H2 for 3 days, and loving every minute. I don't really care were we are going anymore, I just enjoy getting there.

I was corned at work by two co-works, who just could not figure out why I would want to buy such a thing. They were both enviromentalist, and just chewed me up and spit me out. It was a sore spot for a few days, and even now, they don't know that I actually have it. Oh well, it is their loss.

I have another friend that was sitting on the wall not sure what to think. We both went down for the test drive, and still he was unsure. Now that I have it, he doesn't care were we are going, he just wants to go for the ride. (can't say that with many suv). Can't believe how something that looks this big, and be so refined on the inside. Its great.

I am a single parent, and my sons mother lives in Montana, and now we can go up to visit her over the x-mas school break,and not worry about the snow. I can't wait until we get the 500 miles done and over, so we can take off on our road trip.

I've gotten alot of "cool truck", and the looking inside like the rest of you. I just wanted something that made my heart go pitter patter, and not be driving something that has been homogenized like all of the other vechiles on the road today.

Don't forget, the manual says not over 55 MPH durign the first 500 miles.
I was going 80 MPH until I read it @ 300 miles.

Thanks MAC. I keep in the slow lane on the freeways, and keep checking my speed. but, but, but, but, IT IS SO HARD.....

...it's even harder when other SUV's pass you by and look at you like your a slow/weak doggie! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif[/img]

Remember to vary your speed a bit...don't stay at any one speed too long. It's part of breaking in the engine too. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Well, it seems like I'm not alone, which makes me feel better!

I usually don't let these things bother me and most of them I quickly wrote off. The

"a little pretentious dont you think?"

bothered me more than the rest though. According to dictionary.com:

pre·ten·tious
Claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified.

The "especially when unjustified" part is what burned me. I'm over it now, chalked that up to jealousy & lack of class. It really does amaze me what people will say and infer!

Thanks for the chuckle Hummergirl - he sure would have deserved it though! Very nice comeback.

'03 Red Adv Series

So a year before I got the H2, I started preparing for it. I shaved my head, got a couple of earings, oakley blades, started listening to rap and working out like a maniac to get the 'tude to ride a pimpin big body sittin on chrome!!

Amy, that's kind of expected at Walmart, no offense. Good job standing up to them, give them more attitude they'll back down. They are ghetto, and with that attitute, they'll always be and wonder why other people get so far ahead than them..

TJB, congrats and welcome, this forum has a really good group of people, enjoy your new ride.

Dan, I tell people who call me pretentious.. "Yes, ofcourse, I am also compensating.. what's it to you?" Watch their reaction.

MAC..Sorry, I couldnt resist.. "MAC" is also a term for a Pimpin dude.. "macdaddy"

According to a recently conducted survey and general consensus on the issue...my feedback would indicate that the proper ebonic term for MAC's name (in order to be 'down' with his 'hommies' while 'chillin' in their 'crib', hanging in the 'hood') would be:

"DiddyMAC"

Also, Hummergirl may have been offended over what actually was just a general referral to any individual: Bitches are actually a non-gender reference to any person, and its not even a disrespectful thing! It has come to replace the formerly used term "man"....

Admittedly, it is a bit hard to swallow....but in an ever-changing world and the pursuit of being "hip"...these are the terms the players are using. Lord have mercy!

And Amy...it may not have been a good idea to have mentioned your 'piece' under the seat; that could have been seen as a challenge to "throw-down". Word to your Hummer!

Yeah, what S Money said ^^^^^^!

Too bad I look like the poster boy for the Russian Mafia, I'd love to debate some of these enviro-whackos that approach some of you guys/gals. I simply don't get the negative confrontations; man do I feel left-out. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]

Steve, your ebonics translation is a little weak, still letting your true cracker self shine through. May I suggest the latest in ebonics translation technology:

ah yes "diddyMAC"... the playa of all playas speaks..

Dan.. that was hilarious.

I get so pissed off when some jerk who trys to tell people what they should drive.
I want to buy a HUMMER for family safty and I love to piss of the Liberals who don't approve of what you drive or are very jelous.

future H2 owner

Well, I have an answer to alleviate people asking ya'll the two most asked questions... Have your license plate read:

55K 15MPG

MAC just posted a message from Time Magazine that I think every H2 owner should read.

Our H2's are going to be targets in '03.

Just remembered one comment that stumped me..
Greasy valet parking guy at the Inn at Spanish Bay, Pebble Beach: "They let anyone get these now"

I ignored him.. NO TIP FOR YOU!!!

man, the H2's are **** loads of fun. but i also like the H1's. either way, they are all american and we are helping support american workers, instead of those other people who try to save gas by driving those tiny little cars that would be crushed by the supior size of any hummer!

Hi,

Some people told me, buy an X5, a Cayenne for that price...They should have a real 4x4 spirit before they comment.. In Lebanon the H2 is for 105,000 US$... and we pay 4$ per gallon.


Some other people said, it's very ugly, so i replied to them, We just Civilized the Beast...

I get
"Thats an overglorified tahoe"
"Thats just a tahoe chassis under a square box"
"What gas mileage does that get?" followed by how many gallons does it hold
"Can I drive it please please please"

Well, within the first two months, I got the "Im number one" finger from some people passing by. Funny thing was, I hadnt even cut them off yet!

Really, you shouldn't flatter yourselves thinking all the negativity is the result of jealousy. That's just a mechinism that allows you to so easily deny the truth.

Anyone with anything more thoughtful to say than:

1. Haters are jealous
2. Haters should mind their own business
3. I'll kick your ass

Please elucidate here, or come on over to:

Sorry, you broke rules 2 & 3 above.

But, actually some of you must care about society's opinion, otherwise you wouldn't have started this topic.

Can't at least one of you give an intelligent, adult defense for the "negativity" you've experienced and talked about in this topic?

So what would you have everyone drive? What should we wear? What should we eat? What type of employment should we seek? Religion? Favorite color?
Well?

Right, we should all mind our own business.

Still, this is the only defense I've heard (also from sfox above), that you guys just don't care about what people think and that you have the right to drive whatever you want. And I'll agree to both the points.

But tell me why Hummers, and other city-driven SUVs aren't wasteful of limited resources, namely the fossil fuel over which we're fighting a war and losing soldiers?

These are shared resources. Just because you can buy all you want of them doesn't mean that's responsible, does it?

What is your answer other than "just shut the **** up you jealous moron"?

I see you conveniently skipped the answers. Figures.


Are you just going to keep on feebly trying to antagonize a group of people that just so happen to partake in something that you find offensive? Why not expose your personal life to us for examination. I'm sure someone here could find something you own or do offensive. Just an observation, but you sound like someone that wipes back to front. Maybe that's why you're such a cranky prick.

Normally I'd just jump you and rip you an auxiliary *******, but I've seen your little "look at me- I'm a radical" blog and have seen that the only way to get an idea into your head is with actual blunt force trauma. And while that is an appealing idea the possible consequences far outweigh any pleasure I might derive from bludgeoning you. Oh yeah, and pissing all over you... after I've eaten a couple pounds of asparagus.
