What's up with the thumbs down? - 1/5/2007 9:33:20 PM

I am so tired of the comments and harrassment from the public, people who don't even know me feel as though they have the right to criticize me for driving a Hummer. The first time it happened, it was a simple beep and a thumbs down. Caught me totally off guard, and I simply responded with "The Bird". Then, it was a passerby yelling "Terrorist". Today, a Hybrid slowed down and tossed an iced coffee at the hood of my H3. I am now pissed and that is what has brought me to this forum. I never realized when I purchased this vehicle in Aug. 06 that there was such hate and animosity toward Hummer drivers.

Screw them all! I love my H3!

Well no wonder..you live in Connecticut,..Kidding...

But in a yuppie land environmentally, liberal minded area, you will get more of the HUMMER hate...actually it's HUMMER Envy
Ignor them and smile next time it happens...then run their goddamn asses over

I've never really had a problem....I got flipped off once by a jeeper, but I just considered the source

. I think Dennis is right...it varies depending on your area. I would be pretty pissed if someone through something at my truck

I've only had my H3x a couple months but so far the only looks I've had have been good ones, a few thumbs up and quite a few smiles. I don't know what I would do if someone trough something at my Hummer but I can say that it would NOT be nice. I have a real hard time imagining that anyone would not want to be driving a Hummer, I mean damn these are the most fun thing to drive. I'm going to look at the new Chevy Camaro at the Detroit auto show this weekend though. That may be my second or weekend ride when it comes out.

Can't you get arrested for Wreckless Driving and I believe there is also a law about Wreckless Endangerment? I'll have to ask the attorneys at work about that one!

I would have called 911, give them the plate numbers, followed them until they parked, then let them know where they were. F'in morons. All it takes is for one splash to obstruct your vision for a second to hit someone or something. What they don't realize is how they are just waving a big flag that says "Hey everybody, see how ignorant and moronic I am?"

I just figured between the pink color and how this person worded the post it was a woman .... Did I just earn the male pig award for this!?
