taking heat
Zamboni! never in my life have i heard so much about my automobile purchases, I'm taking more hits than bagdad. everyone seems to have a mouthful about my new 3! They're calling it "gas guzzler" or I'm supporting a "system that's bad" [meaning oil dependant], this weekend really took some educating on my part.
Anyone out there taking any heat for the same thing?

Re: taking heat
Get used to it!! I personally have never been on that end, but many here have. Basically you can come back at them and tell them it is not as bad as the H2 or H1. Or go tell them to look at ford and Dodge and all the others. PPL like to biatch no matter what you have. And if they don't like it, tell them your gonna buy a 2 or 1 next and drive by them everyday and honk.

Re: taking heat
I just smile and say thank you when people bag on me. I am not going to have a heart attack for some tree hugger. Fuk'em if they do not like my vehicle. I didn't buy it for others to approve of!!

Pretty Lousy Blaming H2s and H1s ,its sort of like your getting in bed with them and or blaming your brothers, maybe you should have a jeep or other imitation. Otherwise stand up like the guy says take it on the chin and tell em to F-OFF. The Rebel [and proud of it].

Wait, was that directed at me? who the heck is blaming 1 or 2's? I am just as tired of all the haters no matter what you drive.. Whether it be a Hummer, Ford or w/e. We buy what we like, not what everyone else thinks we should have.

Re: taking heat

Re: taking heat
I stopped counting the ?fingers? flipped my way after number 50.
I washed off the ?cola product? someone threw all over my H3 in the parking garage.
I?ve ignored the ?crotch prints? on my paint from the Hummer Humpers.
I?ve smiled at the hairy pitted earth mothers, glaring at me in the
"Whole Foods Market" parking lot.
I?ve laughed when my H3 has been referred to as an ?Alleged Hummer?, ?Earth Killer?, or ?Gas Whore?.
I just grin when called a ?Poser? or ?Pretentious?.
However, I damn near killed a man for saying ?Nice looking Jeep???.
Texas is after all, a concealed carry state and some insults simply can?t be ignored.
Note: All of the above is true except for the Jeep part.
Dallas can be a cruel town.

YOu my friend said Quote "Its not as bad as an H1 or H2 ". I stand by what I said. Take your own lumps don,t pass them to uninvolved brothers. But I certainly agree with your buying what you like, my sentiments exactly. Put some 35 inch tires on that baby and drive over em, relieve your frustrations. Regards The REBEL

Re: taking heat
After all the heat about :
Second childhood
Penis extension
First childhood
Gold chains
Stupid jokes about pricks on the inside
Mid life crises I, II, III, IV, V...etc.
I received when I bought my Vettes, Hummer trash talking bothers me not. Besides, for some strange reason, there are three Hummer dealers here in the land of the tree huggers and home for every hippie that couldn't make a go of it in California. I refer, of course, to Western Washington. The People's Republic of King County in particular. When the day is done, you forget what these Bozos even look like and remember what they said only if it was memorably funny, outrageous or stupid. It's 03:00 and I have to work four more hours. Sorry about the monologue. BTW, I plan to troll the Whole Foods parking lot in Bellevue on my day off tomorrow. Maybe we could organize a "Hummer Happening" there.

Re: taking heat
On Turkey Day a relative looked at my H3 and said my suzki wagon gets 35mpg.
I said at best the H3 gets 19-20mpg but look at everything it can do and I do use it off road.
PS I got about 17mpg on a 260mile Turky day trip including stop and go traffic on hwy 101 for about an hour.. Not too bad in my book.
end of story ... Game Over

Tell your relative that he has apretty shallow life if he spends his time worried about mpg. Tell em HUMMERS aren't about gas they're about quality of life ! Regards The Rebel

Re: taking heat
Wow, I am in Dallas and although I "thought" I would get some heat I have yet to have anyone say anything to me. I just thought everyone googled it by now and had been educated that jeeps and dodges are the worst...
