Here's my latest brush with the "Hummer hatred" out there......too damn funny!
I was gassing up at the local station when the guy waiting behind me got out of his little rice burner and approached - with an attitude.
He said, "That's a gas guzzler, isn't it?"
I smiled as politely as possible and said, "It's not too bad." and turned away to continue pumping. But he wouldn't quit. As his girlfriend approached and stood beside him, his voice got a little more shrill and obnoxious. "Well, what kind of mileage do you get?"
Okay, I'd had enough. Remembering a pearl of wisdom I got from someone on this forum, I turned, smiled, shrugged my shoulders and, with all the false modesty I could muster said, "Oh, I dunno. About the same as my Porsche." This had two distinctly different effects. It made his girlfriend grin and look at the ground. It mad him madder than hell. But still, he wouldn't give up. "Well what does it get? About 8 or 9 miles to the gallon?" I grinned as broadly as possible and said, "Aw hell, I dunno." Then I looked at his girlfriend and said, "But I'll bet she'd love to ride in either one of 'em, wouldn't you, hun?"
Holy ****.
He came unglued. As she chuckled and walked back to their car, he stepped toward me and demanded, "What did you say?"
I repeated it. Word for word. Then continued to pump my gas. As I got in and drove away, he was still standing there - staring and shaking.
Anything that inspires that kind of strong response is worth every penny it takes to own and operate it. I've had my Hummer for a couple weeks now, and it is already an "experience." As they say at McDonald's, "I'm lovin' it."

Not sure I would call them exotics here anymore. Fine machines most definitely but not sure about exotics.

Speaking of Exotic's to own in addition to Hummers, Has anyone seen the New Cayman that Porsche is bringing to the market? It looks like a nice addition to the stable.
With regard to HummerDestroyer, How do you justify your forum name and why are you here causing trouble? Is your life that Pathetic and unfulfilled? It would seem that you could better allocate your time saving Spotted Owls or bearded Gecko's?

Know how I did it? BY NOT HOWMUCHAMONTHING Vehicles. And Overpriced, useless one at that. Why buy a new vehicle just to say you own a new vehicle? When a 15+ Y.O one does the EXACT SAME THING? And Ms Fox, I pay more in TAXES every year than your little H2 COST. I probably SPEND more than that H2 cost JUST for the tax breaks.
And Paragon, I DO live DEBT FREE. The only bills I have are normal household bills, plus a Flatrate water bill of 1200/Quarter, and about 40K in taxes/year. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>15 HOUSES? You're nothing but a POS piker. Listen sonny, by the time I was 28 years old (many years ago) I owned well over 60 investment properties including a 17 story hotel plus 4 businesses, all earned, not free, and on OPM. Who the hell are you trying to impress? Truth be known you probably don't even own an outhouse to dump your bull**** in.

By the way HD, I own both of the cars, you little ****, and he owns both as well. It's called a partnership. You can look that up in the dictionary under "P".
I will admit that he said Porsche instead of Vette but that was just a little slip up. We sold the Porsche, Aston Martin and Ferrari a few months back. I'll have to remind him of that.
Is HD an ass or what?

I do know the true story behind that picture. The inital impact on the car IN FRONT of the H2 was around 32 MPH. From the actual news story...

That's funny because I just found that story and it said nothing about a 32 mph collision. Rodney was also a contributor of funds amounting to $3,500. to the republican party and is in auto sales in Anchorage.
I checked these to see if maybe you misread it somewhere but no. OOPSIE!

Real Story:
Hummer wreaks rush-hour chaos
CRASHES: Driver runs light, hits four vehicles, police say.
By Peter Porco
Anchorage Daily News
(Published: August 27, 2002)
At least two people were injured Monday afternoon after a motorist drove a new Hummer through a red light, slammed into two vehicles and then sped down the wrong side of the road and hit two more vehicles, police said.
One car hit by the Hummer caromed into a van, making for a total of six vehicles in what looked to other drivers like a demolition derby.
The man behind the wheel of the Hummer was Rodney Udd. He owns the Hummer of Alaska dealership on Fifth Avenue, according to salesman Howard Castle at Anchorage Chrysler Dodge, Hummer's parent company.
Udd was treated at and released from Providence Alaska Medical Center, a nursing supervisor said. He could not be reached for comment Monday night.
Police Sgt. Gil Davis said police are still investigating.
"There doesn't seem to be any alcohol involved," he said. "It may be some kind of medical problem, maybe a seizure."
The crash tied up rush-hour traffic on DeBarr Road. At 6:15 p.m., two hours later, the maroon Hummer lay crossways in the eastbound lanes of DeBarr, its front end mashed to an unrecognizable tangle, its door alarm ringing and radio playing.
"It's still got that new-car smell," Davis said.
The 2003 Hummer, Castle said, was Udd's demonstration model, worth about $60,000. It was totaled, police said.
The Hummer, southbound on Airport Heights Drive, had stopped for a red light at DeBarr. The driver sat through the green light, Davis said, and when the light changed again to red, he took off into the intersection.
Tammy Morse, a 32-year-old delivery driver westbound on DeBarr, was behind the wheel of the first vehicle struck by the Hummer, a white Pet Pantry van. She braked hard and the Hummer opened a hole in her front bumper but bounced away into another vehicle, she said.
"He just plowed through everybody else," said Morse, who was uninjured. "He ignored me, hit the extended-cab (truck) and turned and headed down the sidewalk."
The Hummer spun around after striking the second vehicle and then sped west down the eastbound side of DeBarr, she said.
"I couldn't believe it," Morse said.
It seemed even more shocking to Jenette Jemison, a 21-year-old student driving east in her sister's late-model Mazda sedan.
Heading up the hill outside Alaska Regional Hospital, Jemison found the square-nosed, wide-body Hummer -- the civilian version of the military's Humvee -- coming straight for her.
"He was on the sidewalk, and I'm thinking, 'What the hell!' " Jemison said. " 'He's going to turn away.' But he doesn't. He just keeps coming."
Jemison said traffic was heavy and drivers around her were blowing their horns and trying to get out of the way. She squeezed left but not far enough. The Hummer came off the sidewalk and smashed into the Mazda, spinning it into the left lane, where it was hit by a van.
A few car lengths later, the Hummer smashed head-on into a Dodge Ram pickup. "That ended it," Davis said.
The pickup driver, unidentified Monday evening, was treated for minor injuries at Providence and released, Davis said
