A couple of you guys have mentioned this, so I thought I might share this with you all. I am driving to lunch with my family today, keep in mind it is the 4th of July, and some college aged hippie pulls up alongside me and starts yelling something. Her little bitch boyfriend is riding in the passenger seat, and is laughing. I roll the window down to see what they wanted, I had a pretty good idea, and they wont look up at me. I pull in front to make a turn, and they are waving there hands and saying ****. Now keep in mind that I spent 10 years in the Navy, and I have lost quite a few friends in peacetime, and wartime while serving, so the last thing I am going to put up with is some little ****ing liberal **** that doesnt know **** about the world. I pull over, get out , and ask her what she wants? Of course she doesn't say ****, and her boyfriend says that she was saying that I was wasting gas. I asked him to please open his mouth so I would have an excuse to drag him through the window, and beat his ass in front of his smelly girfriend, but he declined. Now normally I would blow this **** off, but I am so sick of all these ill-informed people having the nerve to say whatever they want, and no one responds. Political affiliations aside, some people think that tolerance, and diversity is a one way street. They have no real desire to be tolerant of others who don't share there dillusional view of the world. If I want to drive a Hummer, one that is supposed to get 19mpg, and not a ****ing Prius, then **** you for not appreciating it. I served my country. I earned the right to buy what I have worked hard for, HAS SHE? I doubt it.

So guys, dont put up with this **** from people. If they have the nerve to express there 1st amendment right to you, then please do the same, and tell them where they can go!!!

Someone needs to send an email to that author and to the editor with about a hundred links from here on all the hummer hatred. I see something here almost daily, flipping the bird, catty remarks, getting egg'd, getting key'd, windows broken, etc.

For that guy to think that it doesn't happen...and therefore to print a story, convincing the rest of America that this stuff doesn't happen is a load of crap.

Hey that was me!

Where did this happen? Nice that you confronted them!

Bad to use the c-word.

Hmmmm, there are several people... Especially the idiots that think I am a dealer - if you are on of those, then I meant you! I love those folks. If they saw me in person, they would say ZERO!

And if your idea of settling differences of opinion is physical you have the mentality of someone under 10 years old. Our prisons are full of the type. Let's hope you're just blowing off, for your sake.[/quote]

Difference of opinion? There is no opinion, you are wrong about me. And what is this for my sake? Are you threatening me? WHY? Makes no sense at all...

They want a reaction out of you. Sometimes you have to confront the stupid of this country and the only level they understand, open a can of woopass. Otherwise I do my best to ignor them. Good job! and thank you for your service to our country.

I've figured it out!

People in the rural, hilly, forested Midwest now consider 4X4s a necessity rather than a luxury. When it's snowing and you have to get to a hospital you need a can do almost anything 4X4. For years the vehicles of choice were the Jeep Wrangler and the 4X4 pick up, the Explorer and Honda CRV just can't take the pounding of serious driving down hilly country trails. When someone comes over to my H3 they ask how does it do in mud and up hills, rarely does anyone ask me how many mpgs I'm getting. One question I've been asked I don't know the answer to is do you have more headroom with the leather than with my cloth seats - this was from a 6 ft 6er. Anyone know? No matter what they say, it still boils down to envy and if you can afford it and like it the heck with everyone else (words of wisdom from an ole fart here).
PS Another thing I've found in the hot weather is with that with the small tinted windows, the H3 doesn't get oven hot inside as fast as a normal car or SUV.

Absolutely not. And the "for your sake" was mean't that I'd hate to see you end up in prison or worse someday because you couldn't control your juvenile mentality. Grow up sonny.

I don't know, but I wouldn't expect nearly as much of it to happen in Texas.

HummerBuck, can you copy and paste the article or give us the basics of it. I tried to follow the link and they want me to subscribe first.

Good for you! You should have taken a 100% all natural dump on their hood!

South Park had a great documentary on Hippies this season!

I was at the beach today, and that happened twice. Although, I also got a compliment on my truck too. Happy 4th.

This must be an east coast/west coast thing, because I have not had one incident like that in the Midwest. If you really want to have fun with them have a print shop whip you up a "hybrid" or "hydrogen powered" decal and slap it on the side I saw some nice clear hybrid decals on Ebay...hmmmmmm

That is the best story I have ever heard...

Everyone is so comfortable blabbing off at the lips in front of their PC's or behind the tinted windows. Get them one on one and forget it, they would be stepping back like little bitches.

Glad you feel better.

That is ironic, we just moved near there back on the water this weekend- guess I better keep my eye out for leaf lickers when walking the H2. Maybe rack up some points.

O'K guys, thank for letting me vent, and supporting me. It took about 3 hours for me to shake off how pissed I was today. No reason to get on eachothers case, save that for the real idiots.

H2co-pilot, I know how much women hate the "c" word, but sometimes no other word will do, "ear-muffs," haha. It was on Independance Blvd, kinda ironic.

Happy 4th of July everyone...
