HUMMER hate question

[lance-n]

In the year and a half that I have had my H3, I don't recall a single time when anybody has given me any flack for driving a hummer. They have given me flack for other things though!
The only time I have heard any crap about hummers - other than from people who are jealous because maybe they can't have one for what ever reason - was this one time out on the East Cape, like 30 miles outside of town, nasty washboard road the whole way. We were out surfing and this guy in the line-up had seen me drive in onto the beach and paddle out. He said, "At least you use your hummer for what it was intended."
I guess there must be alot of hummer owners that don't take them off road too often.

That may be the perception but I've seen plenty of blingy jacked up mudder shod neckmobiles that have never seen anything more than the curb on the front yard to be washed too. You should've asked him what "at least" refered to? Ask him "so friggin what if I put low profiles on it for cruisin'?" If he bought it for you, maybe he could "at least" you like a scolding parent. The point is, he didn't.
