Yeah, people love to gauck. When I put 35's on, it seemed everyone and their mother was checking it out. People would stop and look in amazement. I was standing about 100 feet from my H3 when 3 different sets of people stopped to check out the tires. One lady at the gas station couldn't believe the size of the tires and the look it gave the H3. I get "Nice Ride" alot too. It's pretty cool...

Personally i could care less if anyone else driving a hummer or anything else waves at me. i drive my H3 because thats what i wanted. i am not after status just fun in the sun. the only one i have to plese is me. i do wave at all kinds of people regardless of what they drive as a courtesy and if they don't wave so what.

I get so much attention that some punk Eco-Nazi's shot my new H3 with a paint ball while I was driving one night. Good thing I couldn't get turned around or I would have been on the national news for killing them with my bare hands!

Yea Doc Olds, I bet when I get my Locomotive horn installed and want a thumbs up, they'll pay attention!!

I think this thread is still on the subject of attention grabber, so I'm still waiting for my second question:
2) re:Trey124 "I liked mine so much I got it tattoo'd on my leg."

Maybe Trey124 is still downloading the pic...

C'mon! Let's see it!

Here's mine.

JK! I sent a graphic of that Corvette logo to a forum member once and he sent me a picture of why he wanted it a few weeks later. Now, that's commitment.

My H3 Tactical seems to draw a lot of attention, people commenting how the "blacked out" look is so cool. I get the same price inquiry as well and comments about being careful because I work in sales and customers will think that I make too much $$. My theory is just the opposite, my customers will think that I am successful. :)

I drive an H1 in Southern California and notice that most of the other Hummer drivers even look at me. I got tons of looks from non Hummers. While in the Corvette clubs they do wave at each other a lot and NCCC even had a save the wave campaign years back none of the Corvettes I pass in mine wave back either. Could just be the the people in Socal aren't quite as friendly as people in other parts of the country. I do get a kick out of all of the kids that have to check the H1 out.

I personally like the wave. I own a Harley and have had a few Jeep CJ's and I always liked the wave associated with them. It's like a "bond" or something (for lack of a better word). So don't worry about it HERHMR, I agree. There are a few Hummer owners around here that will wave, but not many, and as you pointed out None of them from the H2's however I've had an H1 wave. It's just personal preference I suppose, but I vote for the wave!

I have a habit of waving because of the vettes I own. It's a many-decades-old tradition with vette owners as well as enthusiasts of other sports cars and vehicles. I have already waved to a couple other Hummers since getting mine - hard to break the habit and it doesnt harm anyone.

I'll wave once in awhile if my windows are down or a few flashes of the high beam when one passes by (it's a Guam thing).

That's like waving at somebody at Red Lobster or Pizza Hut because they are eating the same thing as you

That's a little ridiculous.
At Pizza Hut I give everybody a "high 5."
At Red Lobster, it's strictly hand shakes because it's high class and all.

BTW: You're not by chance the guy that punched me at McDonalds after I noticed he had a Big Mac just like me so I winked and said "I see you go my way"?

I don't wave much in the city, but where I come from you give the one finger wave (index, not middle) to anyone you pass on a road with a yellow line.

The biggest group of "wavers" I've ever experienced is trucks where one of the two is pulling a horse trailer.

I know im a newbie here, but it appears that most Hummer owners are a close nit group with a lot of the same interests and tastes. I see no reason not to give someone a wave or a nod from time to time with eachother. Afterall, many people outside of the Hummer community have the wrong idea about the machine and thinks its often times "over the top" when in reality they dont have a clue about what sets it apart. So nodding or waving an acknowledgement of someones shared brilliance sounds fine with me!
