This was in my email today...

To all Hummer owners regardless of model:
I parked my Hummer SUT at a shopping center in Southlake and when I came back to the car after shopping some coward had run a key down the side of my car starting at the front of the car and ending at the rear of the car. This was done in broad daylight with no cars parked around my car. When I made the police report the Southlake police informed me that there are some environmental fanatics (cowards) who are targeting any Hummer in the Southlake area because they think that they use too much gas. In some cases some of the local Hummer owners have had their cars keyed 3-4 times. This Hummer vandalism has been going on for more than one year but is not highly publicized.If you go to Southlake watch your car very closely as these fanatics (cowards) religiously patrol the streets looking to vandalize Hummers. Please pass this on to all Hummer owners that you know.
Mitchell S.

I got keyed at the Hotel during a Hummer Event. Others got stickers on their rides.

I just shrugged it off and buffed it out when I got home.

Hummer haters are very misinformed or just ignorant when it comes to the H3 (I can't speak to the H2).
I go to as many Hummer hater forums as I can find and try to educate them, not insult them, because they won't listen to that. I try to get them to research the information for themselves instead of just jumping on the hater bandwagon.

There are many vehicles on the road with worse gas mileage than the H3 yet they do not have hate clubs.
Here are just a few:
The Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, Jeep Grand Cherokee 8 cyl, Dodge Ram 1500 (reg fuel), Infinity QX56, Mercedes R63 AMG, ML500 4matic, Toyota Tundra, Chevy Trailblazer AWD, and more.

Please people, go to the hummer hate forums and groups and talk intelligently to those idiots and help to educate them and rid them of the hate.

I said the same thing just today when I dude gave me some crap about the Hummer Forums sticker on the back of my work van... he said something stupid and I just responded...

"My dad's 8.1L gets worse gas mileage than I do"

Stupiditiy should be scratched onto their foreheads! Thank god there's not problem like that here in Guam. There's haters, but all they do is give a bad look.

Aren't there cameras at shopping centers to see who the haters are?

There's Hummer hater forums? Damn! Can someone post a link.

i hate to suggest stooping to their level, but i seriously wouldn't mind a mass keying of the word 'HUMMER' into every hybrid. think that would get the point across? sometimes the only thing stupid people understand is stupidity. of course, if the shoe was on the other foot, we'd get tarred and feathered. i love the double standard...its a new manual tranny installed in every hybrid

solution: just mount a .50 cal on every hummer

Do what we did when a group of idiot import owners were keying American made sports cars in a local mall a few years back. Park your hummer (or my GN in my case) in a dark spot so it seems like an easy target to the morons. Then get out and sit in a buddies car and wait, when the idiots show up...SO DO YOU

I had the same happen to me with a pretty white Porsche 944 in another city years ago. Had it a few weeks and someone keyed it from fender to fender across the hood while I was at work (it was at night but was parked right under the lights by the secondary front entrance, we had armed security that patrolled the grounds at night. The Porsche had a good clear coat on it and good paint underneath. I was able to buffout 75% but the rest got to the metal and had to be repainted.

It could be the enviro libs at their mischief keying the Hummers in Southlake or it could have simply been someone so jealous about someone (anybody but them) that has a nice ride and probably a better life as (they) do. My 944 didn't get keyed by any enviro group...

Bottom line, this country is the land of liberty but I think we've gotten past the point of being to liberal on too many things and this current crop of enviro libs don't have a clue to the real H3 or anything else for that matter. The H3 probably gets as good or better gas mileage than half the vehicles on the road today. Let's face it, for the uninformed, the Hummer line is the Poster Child as THE example of the gas guzzling, mine's bigger than yours and I'll pollute more than you think I should

Regarding Southlake, TX. It's a very exclusive area in the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex. I'm surprised there isn't any video security cams that may have seen something. Also, the people doing this are taking a big chance, there's plenty of police patrols as it's a very low crime area and there is probably a higher percentage of video cameras around it's public areas and businesses than your average surburb.

Maybe we'll get lucky and the cops catch'em or perhaps some gun totin Texan driving a Hummer with a gun permit will catch one of them doing it to their ride, I think the problem would be resolved rather quickly if the latter happens.

vagabond??? crap gunner, I've been called a lot worse.

Which trip are you referring to? I've been traveling the last four weeks in a row. Right now I'm back in Tenn. this time I'm in Memphis.

Regarding that big honkin' spider... Back in New Orleans we just called them swamp spiders. I've seen them spin webs over twenty feet wide. Last time I saw one was up at the office there was one that had spun a small web (only about 6 feet wide) from a small tree to a hedge row. The gals at the office were freakin out, I had my camera and took a pic because they just couldn't believe the spider was that darn big. Musta been your spiders cousin..

Howz that new windshield Mark? Did it increase your HP any???

An old boss of mine had his brand new (at the time) Mustang keyed by some punks. Luckily he saw them and they got busted by the cops. They had to pay for the damage and fines. Remember that American in Singapore that got caught vandalizing a car and he was going to get caned? I remeber the big uproar by his family, the funny thing was, most of the people on the street in the US said "cane him!" I say we go back to that... I think it coming down to the day that we will need onboard cameras to guard our vehicles and catch these lunatics!

One more reason to have a CCW.

But seriously, this is pathetic. I think it's a bundle of jealousy mixed in with just straight up hatred of being successful, because lets face it, hummer drivers tend to be a little better off than your average run of the mill environmentalists.

One thing I beg to always ask, why key a gas guzzler? That is tons of resources wasted to prove a point, that’s a couple trips EXTRA to the body shop... that’s a whole lot of more gas, paint, resources wasted. I love how they protest a ski resort cutting down trees by burning down the entire ski resort and forrest next to it... or how they protest gas guzzlers as wasting the enviroment but then they go and torch an entire dealership.

I'd also like to point out that a lot of these enviro hippies drives cars that are spewing and sputtering into the atmosphere... but yet they bitch about a clean burning machine. Ask an environmentalist type person what they think about the Bugatti Veyron, most are likely to say awesome... but they quickly forget the 2mpg it gets.

I dare somone to do that to my truck, I dare them.
