rantin and ravin
 

Do people love to throw stuff at your hummer? or is it just me. Ive been hit by all kinds of sh*t, water balloons, snow balls, cups full of drinks and anything else you can think of! latest edition came tonight as i was on my way home from coaching my bros aau team. i was driving along a farm near where i live and a baseball comes flying from behind a rock wall and nailed my windshield right in my line of view and now im left with perfectly circular rings in the middle of my windshield. i pulled over and got out a trailer wrench(keep in the truck for times like this) but the little f*ckers were already gone. sorry to write all this but im sick of my truck being **** on by others who find it funny. i cant stand people who mess with others cars. to me its like breaking into my home... anyways rant over! but i do have a gobi rack on the way which makes my day a bit better :D

Re: rantin and ravin
 

That sucks! Sorry to hear that, never had any trouble here.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

A woman once scratched some little letter-like thing on my passenger door. She got her Volvo pushed down the street. :jump:
Anyone in oncoming traffic that's dumb enough to flip me off and I have more than 2 seconds to react gets swerved at. Really funny to see the smug look turn to pants-sh1tting fear. :giggling:

Re: rantin and ravin
 

i swerved at a group of dudes who sped up to keep me from merging. one of the best moments of my life! guy in the back went from laughing to having a heart attack :jump:

Re: rantin and ravin
 

You should have called Rosco Picoe Train. That is assault. What if it caused you to wreck? Little bastards need their commie little assess turned red.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Guess I've been lucky. Flipped off by a jerk in a volvo. Only other was a woman in a lexus that wouldn't let me merge one night. Guy in the truck behind her saw what was happening and let me in. When I hit her with ALL the lights, she must have thought the sun rose in the West :clapping:

Re: rantin and ravin
 

I've never had any problems in the Ozarks. There are a lot of gravel/mud roads and in the winter you need 4 X 4 here (almost no snow plowing anywhere here except hwy 54), so I would say 40% of the vehicles here are 4 WD and you see a lot of Hummers, especially H3s. I did get mooned in my Hummer by two girls from a big yellow private high school bus a year ago - but I don't think that counts. Two years ago when the Mississippi flooded Clarksville I got a thank you letter addressed to Mr. J**** and his Hummer, from the mayor of Clarksville for helping with the sandbagging - very classy of them!

Re: rantin and ravin
 

I have not had anyone throw stuff at my truck. But I have been cut off by prius's and sometime people don't want to make merging easy for you.

The one thing I cannot stand is when someone is riding my ass so bad I cannot even see the hood of their car. If its day time I give them a little break light action I just tap on the breaks enough to light them up and slow down a little. If that does not work I give them the rear facing drivers lights for a couple seconds. Then they back off. lol

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Dude, Matt..... you live like in the nice side of town too wtf?, I've never had any problems around here and all I get is thumbs up....
Maybe you should take that sticker off that says "I love whales" off your windshield.....

...hippie.....

lol, jk man:beerchug:

Re: rantin and ravin
 

oh you mean the one that says F*CK the environment?? :giggling:

haha jk

thanks for all the comments guys :grouphug: makes me feel better haha

i already got a guy comin to replace the windshield tomrw for $250 installation and everything! i thought that was a pretty good deal!

Re: rantin and ravin
 

hi one snow ball but i couldn't stop to much taffic, to get the little mother trucker

Re: rantin and ravin
 

I would like a sticker on my window that has a hummer holding a gun to the earths head. Maybe a caption that says, I picked the wrong day to quit smoking. "Or something else from Airplane or something. Maybe make a cartoon with a Hummer that goes around robbing people.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Some people just hate Hummers because of jealousy IMHO. When he comes to do your windhshield, make sure he uses sticky tape on the plastic side pieces or they will make noise and drive you crazy. I'm on my third windshield, and had to sticky tape one myself to keep those black plastic pieces from rattling in the wind. I feel your pain!

Re: rantin and ravin
 

To put this in perspective, I live like a minute from BigZ and most of what I see has been young high school age guys that think they are funny.

One time in my old H2 a group of kids rode my bumper, then sped around me and shot me the old middle finger and sped off. I am pretty sure none of them had pants on and were jerking each other off, little ****ers...

Another time I am minding my own business in my H1, crappy old car full of kids does almost the same crap, but this time on a very quite residential road, and I was already speeding a little...I guess they get toghether and that is showing off to them? I am sure I have gotten the middle finger other times, but I have not noticed and could care less....the more they hate it the more I like it:fdance:

Re: rantin and ravin
 

I guess I have gotten lucky here in Germany, I work on a Army Base and the worse thing thats has happend is a run away shopping cart that was point at my passenger door but hit the nerf bar before it did any real damage, hit same spot my son put his basketball won day playing in the driveway. :mad: right by the H2 logo. Son is still living, shopping cart person was not to be found.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Allow me to play the devils advocate for a second....Swerving and shinning lights at people isn't the smartest thing to do. Think about it! I understand the frustration, but swerving and shinning lights at someone on purpose can lead to serious issues. Do not combat ignorance with more ignorance ;)

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Nothing here but compliments and questions, the common being, MPG's, engine size, vehicle weight etc etc. Everyone admires the truck.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Beer bottle to the Guard, some lipstick on my windows with the usual environment crap!!!

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Couple of afternoon flashes..... couple of pink panties on the CB antenna....lipstick kisses on the....Oh WAIT!!!... we're talking about ranting and junk.... nevermind...:giggling:

Re: rantin and ravin
 

I got a middle finger once from a rather ugly, middle-aged woman in a tan Prius. I thanked her for helping off-set my carbon footprint.

Another time I was audience to a 'loud converstation held for my benefit' from an older couple in another tan Prius at a rest-stop. It went like this:

MAN: "Well, Honey, let's get back on the road."
WOMAN: "Ok...good thing we don't have to stop for gas."
MAN: "Yep...42 miles to the gallon...ha ha."
ME: "Yeah...me neither! 32 gallon tank. Have a nice day."

I find it gets more compliments when it's dirty and more dirty looks when it's clean.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

No. I guess that there are so many in north Dallas area that it is almost like seeing a Tahoe.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

OR maybe people in Dallas are to busy doing their own thing to worry about what someone else is doing. Here on the East coast (NEW JERSEY) there are to many people who dont mind their own business.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Devil's advocate my ass.... you and your safety nazi attitude and anti political stances make me want to puke.


Last time you were whining about the post about Obama's H2... get over it.

You're too much of a pussy to drive an H2.

Mark

Re: rantin and ravin
 

:OWNED:

Get em Mark! real men drive diesel h2's! i hope you get yours back soon man. im dying to see it

ps: you gotta post a video when its all done

Re: rantin and ravin
 

I got a business card under the windshield wiper yesterday while I was at Bob Evans from someone interested in buying my Hummer. The back of the card was hard to read because of the rain, but it basically said if you have under 59,000 miles I'm willing to pay 5000 over bluebook for your H2. My H2 is a keeper though and not for sale!

Re: rantin and ravin
 

:shhh:
Mark,

Listen.... when you flash people with lights, crawl up the ass of drivers and swerve at them with your hummer, it only fuels the fire and makes people hate the hummers even more. Some people have a negative view of this unit already, so when people do the thing that I mentioned earlier.... it doesn't help.

OH...with you nearing 50 years old I thought you'd be smarter than you are. Keep in mind that its a small world and I may take you up on that "me being a pussy" comment if the oppurtunity(sp) shows itself. I'll be in Char NC early this summer for a few weeks for a family reunion and I hope that your diesel conversion is complete as well.:clapping: I hope I get to see your white sut with diesel in person, plus calling someone a pussy is always more effective in person...Dont you agree? ;)

Now...I'll double down on my previous comment by echoing what I said earlier. Swerving and shinning lights at people isn't the smartest thing to do in any automobile. Do not combat ignorance with more ignorance.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

You obviously don't know me. There's nothing I'll say on a computer that I wouldn't say to your face. I've got nothing against you, I just hate online do-gooders with holier than thou attitudes. I can't say if you are or aren't but your posts sure as hell seem like it.


I'm just not thrilled with your tree hugging, liberal attitude. Last time it was a comment on Obamas H2 and you quickly came out preaching like a church of god preacher.

Now, in your goody two shoes safety nazi "defensive driving" "don't combat ignorance with more ignorance" it's all the same stuff.

Now, as far as "visiting" Charlotte, you wanna come by, here's my address...


Collision Specialties, Inc.
13607 E. Independence Blvd.
Indian Trail, NC, 28079.

If you wanna come see me, you know where I am now.... no more "Keep in mind that its a small world and I may take you up on that "me being a pussy" comment if the oppurtunity(sp) shows itself." bull****.

Just face it man, you're not part of the Hummer Forum clique. OrangeCrush has it wrong, you're not a pussy, you're just not a big a$$hole..................

No use fighting some of these guys, been there, done that

They're the only ones with opinions that count

Re: rantin and ravin
 

This thread made my day.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Hey, will you give us the dates you'll be in Charlotte? I was thinking the other members of the Forum might be interested in having our own reunion at the same time. I know I'd come up and I'm betting there are a lot of others that would be interested.

Anyone?

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Finally things are getting like the old days again!:perfect10s: I thought Paragon or Dan Rather might be online again! As an aside, we had HORRIBLE THUNDERSTORMS in the Midwest yesterday. Thank heavens the baseball sized hail was 10 miles north of here. Of course I picked this weekend to go out to the cabin in the Ozarks and blasted through the creek in my H2 with about 3 ft of water yesterday afternoon but only 10 ft wide and running fast. At my advanced age pushing 70 I should know better, but the H2 got boyant for a moment and that caught my attention. Don't laugh - after a similar experience in another 4X4 I always keep two life jackets under the back seat of my H2 because I do a lot of water with it. Still have power and satellite here on the hill, but the creek is running too high to leave today - about 4 ft now and three times as wide as normal. There are also some big limbs on the trail which will mean probably getting my chain saw out for a few. If all fails, I have enough gas for the generator and food and beer to last me for a week, so keep the entertainment coming!:drama:

Re: rantin and ravin
 

That'll do pig. :D

Oh and I forgot to add.....

Obama is the worst president we've had since Carter..... Socialist bastard is bankrupting the country.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

this would be a much sweeter thread if we can get a woman involved in it some how.....:popcorn:

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Re: rantin and ravin
 

you are correct about the clique. Never had any intentions of being down with cliques, but I do love the Hummer and I think we can all agree with that.

Re: rantin and ravin
 

Isn't that sweet..... You have your very own little sack swinging bitch.
