I got this letter on my truck the other day, it said word for word :
I am a big ass hummer.
I can park where ever I want.
I don't have to follow rules.
It's hard to love me because I am a Moron
</div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Wow thats really dumb. It doesn't rhyme, its not funny and it doesn't make even a little bit of sense, I'm sure a lot of thought went into it. A 12 year old had to have written that.
I was talking to a guy in my photography class about test driving and ordering one and he said well enjoy your 8 miles a gallon, when I told him its supposed to get closer to 18 or 20 after the enigine is broken in he coughed out "bull****" I thought that was really cute. I'm betting on more that 8 though. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Take him out shooting someday, and I don't mean shooting cameras.

Here in KY most responses have been pretty positive. At at convenient store one morning I parked and I admit I took up 2 spaces but there were also no other cars on the lot. I come out and some plumber had parked and blocked me in. I guess he thought I would wait til he came out, but I went in the store and called him out and made him move his truck while he was waiting to get breakfast. He just muttered damn hummer people. I got a chuckle out of that.

In Maryland, I have had a tire slashed twice. I got a lot of positive looks but the tire slashing is really frustrating!

Got "Egged" the other night parked in front of my house! May have been related to my New York plates and parked outside my 2nd home in Massachusetts!

I work in the Chicago Suburbs and live in NW indiana. So far, only postive reactions. I came out of a resteraunt one day to find a guys faced pressed against the window looking in. It didn't bother me. I hope nothing happens to it. I guess that's what insurance is for.

Sounds like most vandalism occurs in the "Blue States".

99% positive. Every once in a while I get dirty looks, but that's rare. On the flip side, it's the first truck/car I've driven that just craves attention.

I have a h2 and so far 99% positive. The best one was when I had a thirtysomething MILF (I'm 27) stop me in the home depot expo lot and wanted the tour. She sat in it and said she was going to trade in her 60K benz for one. She said it was "beautiful" which to me is better than "cute" which some women I talk to say about the H3....sorry had to pick on ya'll a little!
As for the haters, I try to be a good hummer ambassador by offering a jump here and there, or a tow, etc. I don't double park, or, in general, I try not to act like an ass. I feel it is our duty as hummer owners to show the haters that we are good people.
I agree that in a few years when there are hummers everywhere, they will find something else to hate on.If someone in a prius ever were to flick me off, I'd just wave back. . Life is too short
That being said, if someone were to phisically screw with my truck, I would be forced to beat their arse. It goes both ways with me, non violence equals non violent response and vice versa.

Reactions to my H3 here in Silicon Valley have been very favorable. People have frequently asked questions about the gas mileage and price. They were interested in a positive way.
Only flipped off once by a tree hugger that probably mistook it for an H2. And once a Prius driver gave me the evil eye after I went first at an intersection in a parking lot.

Here, in West Texas, I just have to be careful going around all the Suburbans, Escalades, Expeditions, H2's, and Navigators!  Besides, if someone keyed it, I wouldn't be able to tell the mark apart from all the mesquite brush marks I've got

Day three, so far, so good!
Reactions have been positive. Lots of fuel mileage questions, but I expected that. I had figured that the Soccer Moms at my sons daycare would start squaking negatives, but so far the only thing I've heard has been positive.
I agree with Alan06SUT above. Be a good ambassador and kill the haters with kindness. Either that or whack 'em with a big stick!

Mostly Good reactions here in Vegas. my wife has received a few remarks from co-workers
That were showing their jealousy. People do tend to think you’re wealthy. Mostly I think its ignorance/not being informed on the price of the H3 in relation to other SUV’s.
Las Vegas does have a High Auto theft rate so I advice everyone to take some security preventive steps on any vehicle they own
