My favorite (so far) anti-Hummer comment I have recevied

[BLKSUT]

My son and I were at Mcdonalds when two elderly ladies in about there eightys were both staring at my sut. One of them turned to us and said," we were just admiring your truck boy is that sharp!" as only someone from that generation could have put it. Makes you proud to drive such a great truck.
Those who want to try and force there beliefs on others are best ignored.

For some reason that is unknown to me there are an inordinate number of H2's and H3's in Vegas. The Republican comment I mentioned above was from a family member. I have never received a negative comment or gesture on the street.

A H2 is one of the safest vehicles to carry your family in. I read somewhere it is #2 behind a Ford F350 dually when studying death rates. The $300-$400 more I pay in gas each year compared to my previous ride that gets 19 mpg is a pittance for the additional safety and peace of mind.

I have had my '06 H2 since I bought it new and I would estimate the ratio of negative comments to "I love your Hummer", about 1:500. About two years ago I placed "Hybrid" badges from a Toyota Highlander under the H2 on the doors (it's the same font as the "H2") and the reactions have been priceless.
I don't know how many people have stopped me and commented that they didn't know Hummer made a hybrid. The next question of course is what kind of mileage do I get? "Twenty-six on the highway and about 19 around town" is my standard reply. They don't know what to say at that point, usually it's a shaking of their head followed by a "I had know idea." The best reactions are from the Prius/hybrid drivers...it destroys their entire paradigm.

Even cruising on the freeway, you can see the passengers in cars looking at the badge and mouthing to the driver, "I didn't know they had Hummer hybrids......"

The badges were about $12 each from a Toyota dealer but the pleasure they have given me truly has been priceless.

i get neg. comments all the time. mainly i think its because of my age. most people think my parents bought it for me. sad thing is they dont even know i bought it.
i get the gas hog comments all the time but its the same as my 00 escalade was.
i get dirty looks from prius hippies. i laugh. thier car looks like something id pick outta my grill

My brother in law and I were picking up dinner for our wives on the way back from the range the other night. We stopped for gas when someone came up and said "Wow. What kind of gas mileage you getting with that thing?" My brother in law without skipping a beat says "35mpg".

Took the guy a good bit to figure out we were f-ing with him.

I think most people are more caught off guard by the fact that someone is openly ****ing with them rather than answering their stupid questions. I mean, why do they really care what MPG my truck gets? Its MY truck and MY gas bill!

I had the same thing happen to me the last time I was at the pumps but the guy asking was driving a beat up 80's suburban! I responded with "Better than that thing!"

I was at a show a few weeks back and a guy drove up in a Ferrari and tells me glad to see someone else has money to burn.
