Had my first negative comment about the H2 today.

[H2 Daddy]

I am starting a new career as a real estate agent. In one of my classes I was talking to a classmate during a break. He said to me "did you hear about the So. Calif Hummer dealership fire"? I say yes and a women standing by us asked if I own a Hunmmer. I said yes and she said she did not like Hummers because she was an environmentalist. I asked why she did not like them and she said "the gas mileage is bad". I told her I have one because I tow a big boat, I fourwheel, and I drive it during our Minnesota winters. I told her any fullsize truck is going to get around the same mileage as the H2. She said she likes old trucks and may get a truck someday. I tried to discuss her un-thoughtout position further, but she was back-peddeling and basically said if people have reasons it is ok to own a H2. I could tell she was getting unconfortable, so I did not press her any further. The nain issue is some people have a bias against Hummers without even knowing why they do. They just follow the environmental dogma and do not think for themselves.

I am wondering if I will lose some sales because of my H2. Some environmentalists may refuse to work with me. I am sure that the number of people who object to my vehicle will be small. Judging by the number of positive responses I have had, the H2 will probably be a positive sales tool.

Are there any other realtors who use their H2 for business? If so, have you lost any business because of your H2 or has it helped?
