what you all have been going through. Since driving the Hummer, I have gotten a lot of good and some bad stuff. Which I am not used too.  Just looks, nothing crazy yet.
I have been handling it well. I am good at being snotty sometimes.  -just looks, mainly my- "hmmm look" which is a pleased sort of look at you at the corner of my eyes -blink -then look pleasingly straight with a little smile.
But today, I saw an old neighbor of mine. Great guy named Joey from NYC- accent and all huge nose great character, we used to walk our dogs together at night because I was scared. Anyway, he was driving a Prius, I got along side him, all I could see was his nose and honked because he can't see me really cuz I'm way taller. He jerked the other direction and slowed way down, then I slowed down and was going to wave. Then he switched lanes. When I was going to catch up to him at a red light, he quickly went into the turn lane and went into a shopping center before I could get next to him. I think I scared Joey.
Too bad he didn't see me. It was kinda funny, that car is so small. I just wanted to say hello to my little friend.

I think that pretty much sums up driving a lifted truck. 
The big thing for me is bumper height. You know - when you're next to/behind a small car like that, and you realize that if you screw up and hit someone, you'll likely kill them. Your bumper is at their head. It makes you drive a little slower, a little more careful. Unless you're purposely aiming at someone, that's a different story.
Had a good day today tho - pulled up next to a Dodge Ram with a 4-6" lift (couldn't tell, but I was bigger) at a stoplight. The driver looked to be in his teens or 20s, had his chick in there with him. He kept looking over at my truck (UP at my truck), and I smiled. I think his poor little man parts shriveled a bit.
I should have gotten a lift a loooong time ago. I only see one problem - once you go lifted, you never go back. I can NOT drive a normal vehicle anymore, it just doesn't feel right.

Yeah, it's fun and scary at the same time. The wheel is still very sensitive so if I move it a little the truck moves that very same moment and I only have a few inches it seems I can spare on either side. Then I overcorrect and it is a mess.
Yes, I have found some men are a little intimidated looking when I pull up next to them, I feel them peering over (or up  )at me, ya know. Lifted Jeeps are the best. Most are nice though, kids are awesome. It definitely attracts more attention.
I do love it though. I have been taking it out a lot. |

I still can't understand why Ken sold his truck and bought you a new SUT. I think it's great though. You deserrve your own HUMMER CP. Did Moab scare Ken away from the HUMMER?

I think Ken needs to buy his own rig. Stop hiding behind your wife!

I keep telling him I don't need or want one.
Though when I have to leave and I see the two sets of keys sitting next to each other it starts. I bite my lip and start to think naughty. I grab the H2 keys and prance my way out of the house. Giggle my way through the garage and run to it like a kid.
It's like a treat, like driving your Dad's car. It wouldn't be the same if I had one. I am trying not to take it as much, besides, I need a smaller vehicle, I have already taken out some of the new landscaping. |
