Why so many haters??

Nobody at my office drives anything comparable to the H3 but that is their problem. I have the job that I work with them at and I also have other businesses and investments. If they are not willing to do what I do to allow myself to get an H3, then they can live with it. Just my two cents.

Take it to work. Unless you are over paid for your job and the rest of the people are under paid, who cares what they say.

i checked out the lariat 06 F150 and they are nice. i also checked out the dodge ram daytona 4x4 and it is nice. i like them both but nothing compares to a hummer. i really do have my mind set on a nice hummer. the daytona sounded sweet with the stock borla exhaust.

im gonna get alot of insane opinions from friends but in the end, its my hummer and my life! im gonna live it out and tell my kids that i was a car nut and this is what i owned.

I think it's actually in the job description.

Seriously, the more they tease you about something, the more they like the idea inside.

ok I take it back there are some jealous people, but I don't know them or I'm unaware of them. I've gotten crap from a couple people but I don't think its because of jealousy or envy I think its for no other reason than a hummer is controversial and its an easy way to stir something up. 10 seconds later its completely forgotten. As for fuh2.com well people are really desperate to stand for something or in this case against something but more importantly they are really BORED. I think people target the Hummer cause its easy. Others hate it because they think everyone should drive a hybrid or walk. But you can totally disagree, I'm sure youre experiences are different.

KM...

as you are well aware that in a job like ours, I sure did give it back to them....cause its not stop talking ****. If you dont, you get run over all day long. I will still get the vehicle I choose...and more and more I love the H3.

Thanks all

Another lengthy dissertation by GrimReaper….

I find the anti-H3 attitude that you have described to be hypocritical in light of the SUV silliness that has swept the USA. I often times have a different view of things (I am one of the few who applauds Ricky William’s insights), but to me, an SUV is and always has been a type of truck. A vehicle that weighs 6000 lbs. and gets 8 mpg might even be called a commercial truck -- it certainly is in the government's fuel mileage and emissions rule book. I have always scoffed at people that buy these 6000 lb. brutes to drive to and from the grocery store, with no intention of ever going off-road, or going camping, or hauling anything larger than a package of bottled water. They want a great big vehicle to impress their friends and because “it makes them feel safe” (which is an anachronism “for I can’t drive very well”), yet at the same time they expect a car-like ride and a luxurious interior. My mother (I love her dearly) carries her little old 110 lb frame around in a 6500 lb Ford SUV which she lovingly calls her car. You can hear the sucking sound from the fuel pump as she drives by. Somewhere along the line these “trucks" ceased to become rugged utility vehicles, and instead they evolved into monster cars. They sprouted enormous grotesque windows, (they call this stadium seating), ridiculous bulges, triple level roof lines, and generally horrible styling so that they could be built on a car suspension with car tires and still appear to be bigger than the next guy’s SUV.

When I finally decided that my particular lifestyle requirements demanded an SUV, I started searching for what I considered to be the essentials of owning such a truck. I was looking for a vehicle with a truck chassis, built on a truck suspension, with off-road truck capabilities, and a manual transmission. A full year of test driving led me to realize that such an SUV was a thing of the past. The original Jeep Wagoneer, Ford Bronco, and Toyota 4-runner concept had evolved into something big, ugly, pretentious, and totally without justification. It seemed that the world was no longer interested in building or owning an SUV truck. Pseudo trucks were all that could be had. Then I saw a commercial introducing the H3. I did some research, and I discovered a real SUV (read that truck) that can do things that few other vehicles can do -- a shining star in sea of unremarkable vehicles.

I suspect that the H3 haters are all jealous because they have suddenly realized that their monster-sized gas-guzzling grocery-getting lump of steel could never hope to negotiate a 3" curb at the grocery store much less a rugged off-road trail. They thought they were the king of man-hood because their SUV could touch both white lines on either side of a freeway lane at the same time. But now that you showed up in your rugged H3, their folly has been exposed.

I’m sure that this view will generate some controversy (for those that have the time to read it). It is just my humble opinion.

Always remember- Opinions are like *******s. Everybody has one and it usually stinks.

But on the upside- if you're lucky someone will offer you some ATD.

canucksnaphook,
Sounds like you got a good handle on everything then. If you choose to get the H3, I wish you luck...YOU WILL DEFINITELY LOVE IT! And watch, the guys busting your chops now will probably like it once they see it in person.

Stay safe

Well at this point I must thank all the people who have taken time to respond to my post. I realize there are people who hate everything. When I first got my jeep there were many cynics. And I could give a ****. I was wondering WHY people hate on things. As for the respect and "taking it in the rear". These are guys who would go into ANY fire with me....and any HAZ-MAT situation. And not to get to movie-esque, but do anything for the safety of myself and others they dont even know. So that is the respect I talk about...and if you think that is acting like a chick then so be it. Thanks again
