Re: Texas Hummer owners suck.....
I always wave or hit the lights when I see H2's... most of the time, I get a favorable response, too! The H3's are in their own world here, or so I have found -- rarely do they respond. Maybe they are just in shock that I am waving at them!
My husband asked one of the first times he was with me when I signaled another H2... he asked if that was some sort of a "creed" amongst Hummer owners!

Except for the one lone lady who mistakenly and accidently did her windshield wipers instead of flash her headlights, I saw absolutely no response. Not one other response. She obviously was so shocked to see some other Hummer owner recognize her and flash their headlights that she freaked and had the wipers going (it was a bright sushiny day) in response. She was somewhere just East of Waco.
Bunch of unfriendly folk.

That could have been Cindy Sheehan in her rental, headed for Crawford...
Most Texicans (not Texans) are exceeding their capabilities just getting behind the wheel. Not to mention 80 MPH +, country music justa blar'in...and now YOU want them to wave. You are better off with them keeping both hands on the wheel.....

Re: Texas Hummer owners suck.....
In and around Houston, there is no "brotherhood" mentality with owning a Hummer like there is elsewhere, or like there is with driving a Vette, or riding a motorcycle. I think it's due to most Hummer owners around here owning one for the status and attention as opposed to owning one for its intended purpose.

Re: Texas Hummer owners suck.....
I get a few wave backs, usually when the truck is real dirty, otherwise I get ignored. H3 owners are getting better around here.

We were going to try to meet up with you guys next week, but now we have our favorite local Hummer Happening that weekend.
I've promised Tracey that I would come and do Barnwell with him soon.

That will be great! Barnwell is a blast, and we usually get a great turnout when we give enough notice! I think that Tracey suggested next spring, that is a great time with less dust and the East Texas bugs are smaller that time of year. You can wheel with your windows down!

Re: Texas Hummer owners suck.....
I waved at a burgandy H2 last night and a black H2 this morning but received no response from either one, so this afternoon I flashed a red H3. I got no response from her either, but the guy driving the Ford truck threw me beads!

This thread is old. I can't believe TX owners are still so rude.

Re: Texas Hummer owners suck.....
I pass H2s all the time, and none flash or wave; same with local H3s. I guess in MI they are afraid you might shoot if you wave, and flashing lights used to be a gang recognition signal around here (before I moved to TN and moved back to this sh*****ty state).
