ever get negative comments?

[100proof]

I dont own one, but I have to say I really love the H2! I saw an add for the H2 a few weeks back I thought, wow, that must cost at least 100,000. I was very surprised to see the base price! About a week later I was up in Duluth MN, I was out eating at a red lobster with my wife, We came out and there it was Seeing it up close, I just about craped my pants. After that I was hooked! I kept seeing the thing all weekend, the owner was staying at the same hotel, and parked it right in front of our window. Of course I couldn't keep my eyes off it, I mean, the damn H2 was taunting me....it was cool. Anyway, this board is great, and when I get my H2 (long time from now) I will be sure to join in all the fun with everybody!

cheers!

Thanks Sputnik!! The ones who feed at my breast love the Hummer, and they are too young to understand why some LOW-LIFE would flip him the finger just for riding down the road in it. Why should I have to make excuses for immature snots that find some sick justification in jealousy..?

Come to think of it. I've only seen thumbs up from kids; what would they think when they saw their parents flip someone off simply because they drive a nice car? Carefull what you teach them you prick.

I've been stopped probably a hundred times in the five months I've had mine and had two negative comments.

One woman hollered out her car window: "That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen." I yelled back: "Look in your mirror, then"

The second was a teenager at the Half Moon Bay Halloween parade (where I was with three H1s) who said: "too bad you didn't buy a real Hummer." I sweetly replied: "Yeah, what does daddy let YOU drive, junior??" His friends howled with laughter at him.

I have people of all ages/genders/walks of life stop me and ask about my truck. They're genuinely curious, and most really love it.

spurtnik, please stop the overly dramatic commercial. After reading your post I wondered why you didn't post a picture of that Native American with the tear rolling down his cheek from the 70's commercial.



ps. Don't come here talking about sucking on tits, ok? There's little kids that read this ****ing ****.

I read the post, forget who it was that posted about getting hit at 60mph by a Jeep and the H2 save his familys life, HMMMMM can you put a price on family safty? I think that is the best reason to drive a tank and I can't wait untill I can afford one!

Well it really wasn't an attack but it did make me very nervous about potential problems like the early reports in N. Virginia.

I went to the movie yesterday to see the second installment of Lord Of The Rings. When I came out there was a note posted on the bumper saying "I'm Changing the Climate (8mpg, $50,000 makes no sense)." Luckily nothing else was done. I hope this is a limited response and I don't have to look over my shoulder anytime I go into the city. They should get their facts straight before attacking. Cost and mileage not that different from any other SUV. Maybe a little higher cost but not materially different, maybe 15% higher than a tahoe with the same options. I am a little concerned that the H2 will become the easy target for all of those environmentalist that hate SUV's.

This did leave me a little disturbed last night. Most comments have been positive other than one kid making the ugly comment and of course the gas mileage. I have found most people very surprised at the cost. I think they are expecting much higher.

My wife got a kick out of waiting for the H2 at a hotel valet and listening to all of the comments. They didn't think it was for her. They were embarrassed initially but quickly crowded around for a look when offered. We have often offered the gawkers a look inside and nearly get run over each time.

People amaze me though. While I don't feel asking gas mileage is too obtrusive the other questions blow me away. We also own a LR Def. 90. With both cars people always ask what we had to pay. It blows me away every time. That is right up there with asking about your income.

I guess no gain (owning an H2) no pain (annoying/rude people).

Funny, I was in the grocery store in the check out line and I looked out in the parking lot and saw some people had their faces pressed up to the windows of my baby, so I pushed the unlock button (that thing works from wayyyy far away). The lights flashed and they jumped back and started looking guiltily around. It was funny. I should have set off the alarm.
