Where is all this hate coming from??

[guruerror]

Ignorance...mainly. Most of the negative comments that I've heard/read are based on nothing more than what the individual themselves has 'heard/read' from one source or another...and the only information that is typically circulated about anything these days is negative and biased.

On the few occasions where I've had the opportunity, and actually cared enough, to correct such a person with factual evidence they've back down with "Oh, really? I didn't know that." It never ceases to amaze me how people will open their mouth and spout out 'facts' without a lick of knowledge/experience on a subject. My step-father used to call that "talkin' out your a55."

^exactly. I've looked at other sites who are stating their hummer "facts" and its so far from the truth. As mentioned above most of these morons have no clue how the H2's are even built or by who for that matter. Luckily here in AZ I've never had any issues with mine since I've had it and have actually had compliments from other drivers on the road.

Fact of the matter is they are awesome vehicles, very capable all while being pretty darn comfy.

Most of it is gone, the people board themself to death over it, I have had some dumb little kids get behind me once and start flicking me off, but i kinda gave them a nut check by going from 60 to 0 in a second.

Another time I got flicked off on the highway.... probably cause I cut someone off.... maybe <.<......>.>

In all fairness, we get that same hate within our own Hummer community. It's sad to say, but very true.

They have a whole site dedicated to H2 hate: FUH2.com

Funny, the biggest complaints they have about it is that its a gas guzzler, is dangerous to other drivers because of the raised bumpers, and they think theres some kind of magic tax loophole you get from buying one

It mostly seems like envy to me, kind of like the occupiers who think rich people are evil

I've had pretty much all complements, but in Texas trucks are very popular, with many much larger than the Hummer.

I have a friend with a 4X4 Ford Excursion with a 6" lift. Parked next to it my H2 looks like a Toyota FJ Cruiser.

People are always going to hate just because none of them have the balls to rock a Hummer. People expect that we are big, bad mofo's that have mad money and we don't care about the world... sad reality is that I live a pretty normal life and my hummer spends much more time in the mountains and outdoors than it ever did in the city. With this, the granolas can drink their own piss because I guarantee I will be out there alive and well if there is ever a natural disaster just because I was smart enough to buy a ride to take me, my buddies, and my gear through hell and high water to get out of town.

They all just wish they had that kind of sense, but they live in their sardine cans in the city and drive their mouse-wheel powered hatchbacks. Don't think I would be asking them for help anytime soon if there was a disaster or an earquake as they would all be dead in the first 24 hrs... I guess I shouldn't rule out the zombie apocalypse either though now, should I.

...and you wonder why they bad mouth the hummer! Do not feed the mosnsters by commiting ignorant act in the streets. You slamming on the brakes only adds to the negativity of the H2's.

I think I got called a nazi,pussy and a liberal for the same comments in another thread regarding the same issue, so expect the onslaught at any moment now
