Where is all this hate coming from??

[ryaleon]

What is the deal with Hummer hate? Why do so many people bad mouth this wonderful vehicle? Apparently....it's bad off road, weak, ugly, useless, it's just a tahoe, bad on gas (true-ish), blah blah blah. Why all the hate?


I personally have not received a single bad remark...yet. Maybe it's because I live in Texas? I just don't understand the big deal with all the hate. Ignorance maybe? I love my H2. And I have several vehicles and have had several more in the past. Cars and trucks. And without a doubt the H2 is my favorite truck that I have ever owned. It is wonderful!


I was just reading that article about the woman who cut off the Hummer driver and ran into the gas pumps. The comments underneath the article are basically just a bunch of people bad mouthing the Hummer. Why?? Maybe they forget that the Hummer driver DID NOT cause the explosion.

Anyhow, just curious as to why there is so much hate. Just ignorance? Jealousy?

People have nothing better to do..they never will be able to afford one, so they hate it. And they don't have a clue about how it's built, NOT a tahoe/suburban/blazer at all. The only thing they can look forward to driving each day is their Prius..funnnnn lol.

[ryaleon]

That's probably true. If they can't have it they try and ruin it for us all. I've had tahoes and yukons and yeah the Hummer is definitely different

Ignorance...mainly. Most of the negative comments that I've heard/read are based on nothing more than what the individual themselves has 'heard/read' from one source or another...and the only information that is typically circulated about anything these days is negative and biased.

On the few occasions where I've had the opportunity, and actually cared enough, to correct such a person with factual evidence they've back down with "Oh, really? I didn't know that." It never ceases to amaze me how people will open their mouth and spout out 'facts' without a lick of knowledge/experience on a subject. My step-father used to call that "talkin' out your a55."

^exactly. I've looked at other sites who are stating their hummer "facts" and its so far from the truth. As mentioned above most of these morons have no clue how the H2's are even built or by who for that matter. Luckily here in AZ I've never had any issues with mine since I've had it and have actually had compliments from other drivers on the road.

Fact of the matter is they are awesome vehicles, very capable all while being pretty darn comfy.

Most of it is gone, the people board themself to death over it, I have had some dumb little kids get behind me once and start flicking me off, but i kinda gave them a nut check by going from 60 to 0 in a second.

Another time I got flicked off on the highway.... probably cause I cut someone off.... maybe <.<......>.>

Probably one of the more ignorant answers to give to any question, but it's entertaining,uneducated & unsupported at the same time I suggest you turn your radio/tv off and start thinking for yourself.

I think people hate because they have issues in their own lives, regardless of it's a certain car, neighborhood, designer brand, color etc... The H2 is a big unit and was singled out as one of many vehicles as using alot of gas, but since the H2 was the largest and most popular at the time it got the most flack, but that's my opinion. I have friends with a Toyota Sequios, Denali Xls, Yukons and older Broncos. All of these vehicles get the same or in some cases even worst MPGs.

LOL! That's our Elcova Den Mother. He's a laugh a minute.

[atomicgoofball]

always going to be haters, for any vehicle you drive/have someone out there is going to hate it.

It's all hype though, everyone in the US follow trends like lemmings, if the mass hate it, individual followers will hate...but we here are not followers! we stand our ground and show the world that we get what we want! despite the hate!

seems like people overseas LOVE the hummers though! i have friends in korea who are like OMG!

I got "one of those looks" from an older women in a camry, she made some mubling statement, combination of vehicle, my driving, my age, her ignorance, her lack of tolerance, and downright her mental capacity, or lack thereof.

I gave her the gas to the floor salute.

Not that I need to justify why I bought an H2, but after seeing so much crap on I-15 (I'm stationed and live in Utah) I wanted a truck (okay, SUV) that offered high visability and tank like protection. Most people I meet that ask why I have/love it agree. I have had several mechanical issues but plan on keeping her for as long as she rolls; thanks to the plethora of talent/info on this forum! I just wish it could tow a bigger boat...

I park at a train station as a daily commuter. The other day I come back to find someone hocked a nice fat loogie on my door.

Oh how I wish I was there to catch the SOB...
