First Hummer Hater

[Gunzz]

Well I have been reading all the posts you guys have started about Hummer haters and thought they went from pretty funny to downright crazy. Living here in New Jersey I guess I figured I was lucky since I have never experienced anything from a hater since buying my truck in 2005. But today I guess I had my first, very minor experience.

I was pulling out of my housing development when I observed a red Jeep Wrangler coming at me. What drew my attention to the Jeep was the fact that it had 4 cheap a$$ Pep Boy brand Rally lights over the windshield. Now really I am not one to put anyone down in reality, however I am known to break ball$, but I saw these lights and it made me look a little harder at the truck. Well then I noticed that it had passenger car tires on it. White walls to top it off. Again not looking down on anyone I figured they just didn't have the money to do it right and thats all they could afford, no big deal.

Well as the Jeep passed me, I observed the driver raise his hand to windshield and give me the thumbs down. At first I was a little pissed, since I knew I did not know the guy, but then I had to laugh, thinking of all the stories I read here. I thought about turning around and confronting him to see what his problem was, but then I had to feel sorry for him. Here he is in a vehicle that I am sure he is just jealous of mine. He probably can't even afford to fill up my tank once, probably why he has those Rally X lights. And I know every time he washes his truck he has to wash the whitewalls. LOL So I didn't confront him. It must be a horrible burden to go through life driving that thing, however he wants to deflect to me.

After all of this there is one thing I wish I could say to him. I don't care what anyone drives. If thats what they like then so be it. That's there taste. I don't necessarily agree with there tastes but I also don't put them down for it either. I don't care if you drive a Subaru, Tahoe, Ford F150, Escalade, Toyota, etc... Doesn't matter to me. If you are stuck in some sand you are a fellow four wheeler and I will do everything I can to help you get out. But there is one little person I will now pray every night I find stuck. A guy who drives a red Jeep Wrangler with cheap lights and white wall tires that came from a Hyundai Sonata. And if my dream ever comes reality, I will stop say hello, and tell him I wish I could help him out but I wouldn't want to damage his pride by getting pulled out by a Hummer. Then drive off into the sunset and stop somewhere for a Margarita. Ahhhhhhhh. Boy that would be nice.

he most likely wasnt a hummer hater like the rest of the people, the other people dont like it becuase they claim its for the environment, if he drove a wrangler thats not how he felt. he probably just felt like his car was better than yours. A lot of people are like that with their cars doesnt mean he hated yours, just means he likes his better.

Maybe he was foriegn, and in his home country, giving the 'thumbs down' is a complement! You know, like belching after a meal in the mid. east.

I was in Panama City last weekend visiting family, drove down to the beach one night and Spring Break was going on there... so I got stuck in the traffic jam. Quite a few people walking/driving by said nice truck, had a few comments like "thats not a real Hummer" by some college kids no less... funny thing was that the few negative comments I got were greeted with a 160db train horn in their ear... oh it was farking hilarious watching them try to get out of their own way when I pressed the button.

They have to be deaf in at least 1 ear now...
