I guess I've been lucky -- never had any agression towards me or my truck (that I know of). But it is usually covered in mud and has a good deal of pinstiping on it. Last week a guy at a stop light honked at me, I rolled down the window and he said "now that's what a hummer should look like!!" Big smiles and we both drove off. This has happened on Ventura Blvd at least three other times. It's so fun to see people do double-takes and smile at the truck.
I've had some questions about the environmental impact of the H2 by folks who drive small cars or hybrids -- I just ask them where they think their electricity comes from (yes, some of it from hydro-electric plants, but more often from coal burning or nuclear power plants, and a small percentage from small under-priveledged children running on treadmills). And speaking of batteries, how does one dispose of them when they die? Bury them?
I say just keep the truck dirty, always seems to put a smile on faces (especially mine).
