My mouth sometimes gets ahead of me, but people like that are SO FRUSTRATING. Just be sure you have an exit...wait, I know...just drive OVER them! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
Good for you to stand up for yourself!

What we have here is a failure to communicate.
I learned recently that PIMP is actually a good word, such as PIMPED OUT HUMMER. The B word in this case, which I will not even type out, could be a compliment from them. This very well could be the case.
I am glad you are 3000 miles away. You can have my wallet and my Hummer, please just let me live.

Believe it or not, he talks this way. He's a cop and for the most part, he acts professional at work and jokingly talks like those two did and it very funny in doing so.
MAC is right. Pimp used in this context was a compliment by them. "Bitch" wasn't! Its ghetto...period.
You got spunk!

I have been lurking in the background for some time now. I think that this is the best forum ever.
I've had my H2 for 3 days, and loving every minute. I don't really care were we are going anymore, I just enjoy getting there.
I was corned at work by two co-works, who just could not figure out why I would want to buy such a thing. They were both enviromentalist, and just chewed me up and spit me out. It was a sore spot for a few days, and even now, they don't know that I actually have it. Oh well, it is their loss.
I have another friend that was sitting on the wall not sure what to think. We both went down for the test drive, and still he was unsure. Now that I have it, he doesn't care were we are going, he just wants to go for the ride. (can't say that with many suv). Can't believe how something that looks this big, and be so refined on the inside. Its great.
I am a single parent, and my sons mother lives in Montana, and now we can go up to visit her over the x-mas school break,and not worry about the snow. I can't wait until we get the 500 miles done and over, so we can take off on our road trip.
I've gotten alot of "cool truck", and the looking inside like the rest of you. I just wanted something that made my heart go pitter patter, and not be driving something that has been homogenized like all of the other vechiles on the road today.

Don't forget, the manual says not over 55 MPH durign the first 500 miles.
I was going 80 MPH until I read it @ 300 miles.

...it's even harder when other SUV's pass you by and look at you like your a slow/weak doggie! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif[/img]
Remember to vary your speed a bit...don't stay at any one speed too long. It's part of breaking in the engine too. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Well, it seems like I'm not alone, which makes me feel better!
I usually don't let these things bother me and most of them I quickly wrote off. The
"a little pretentious dont you think?"
bothered me more than the rest though. According to dictionary.com:
pre·ten·tious
Claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified.
The "especially when unjustified" part is what burned me. I'm over it now, chalked that up to jealousy & lack of class. It really does amaze me what people will say and infer!

So a year before I got the H2, I started preparing for it. I shaved my head, got a couple of earings, oakley blades, started listening to rap and working out like a maniac to get the 'tude to ride a pimpin big body sittin on chrome!!
Amy, that's kind of expected at Walmart, no offense. Good job standing up to them, give them more attitude they'll back down. They are ghetto, and with that attitute, they'll always be and wonder why other people get so far ahead than them..
TJB, congrats and welcome, this forum has a really good group of people, enjoy your new ride.
Dan, I tell people who call me pretentious.. "Yes, ofcourse, I am also compensating.. what's it to you?" Watch their reaction.
MAC..Sorry, I couldnt resist.. "MAC" is also a term for a Pimpin dude.. "macdaddy"

According to a recently conducted survey and general consensus on the issue...my feedback would indicate that the proper ebonic term for MAC's name (in order to be 'down' with his 'hommies' while 'chillin' in their 'crib', hanging in the 'hood') would be:
"DiddyMAC"
Also, Hummergirl may have been offended over what actually was just a general referral to any individual: Bitches are actually a non-gender reference to any person, and its not even a disrespectful thing! It has come to replace the formerly used term "man"....
Admittedly, it is a bit hard to swallow....but in an ever-changing world and the pursuit of being "hip"...these are the terms the players are using. Lord have mercy!
And Amy...it may not have been a good idea to have mentioned your 'piece' under the seat; that could have been seen as a challenge to "throw-down". Word to your Hummer!

Yeah, what S Money said ^^^^^^!
Too bad I look like the poster boy for the Russian Mafia, I'd love to debate some of these enviro-whackos that approach some of you guys/gals. I simply don't get the negative confrontations; man do I feel left-out. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]

Steve, your ebonics translation is a little weak, still letting your true cracker self shine through. May I suggest the latest in ebonics translation technology:

Greasy valet parking guy at the Inn at Spanish Bay, Pebble Beach: "They let anyone get these now"
I ignored him.. NO TIP FOR YOU!!!
