RE: Hummer Code
Since I was only driving my new H3 for less than an hour and got 1 thumbs down I thought this was something I would have to deal with a lot. Luckily it was just an isolated sick-o. This vehicle has a lot of character and is very enjoyable to drive much in the same way my Z06 Corvette is minus the handling and speed.

I had one guy run off the road. What an ***... bad day for him. He should have been minding his own business.. or lack thereof I guess.

RE: Hummer Code
I own and 01 Vette Vert and an H3. I looked at H2's, but oddly, the H3 has more leg room. I'm 6' 3". People in Washington have different reactions to both vehicles. Neither is run of the mill . In the Vette, idiots want to race, including 18 wheelers.
However, the H3 usually provokes curiosity, but no animosity, yet. I believe in "Save the wave" and sometimes get a wave back form H2's and H3's. I haven't tried my luck with an H1, yet. And, speaking of the H1. Now that it's going away, what symbol/icon will the Eco-Stalilnists choose to vent their spleen on? Hopefully each other!

I've noticed alot of love from H2 drivers (i drive an H2), but haven't gotten a wave back from an H3 despite probably 20 attempts.

RE: Hummer Code
I kind of hesitated to wave to H2 drivers because I thought they would think the H3 wasn't a real Hummer. But, I think a lot of the H3 drivers don't REALLY realize exactly what they are driving. My dealer has a demonstration track that proves the angles and capabilities of all Hummers, but I heard the Hummer dealer in Bellevue, WA has no such track. I guess what I am saying is that you don't know what ya got unless someone takes the time to really show ya. So, with the H3 being a new "entry level" vehicle, a lot of them are being bought by people who don't know or care what their capabilities are, the H3 is just kinda cute and affordable. also, a lot of people have never owned a vehicle that has a "secret handshake" like a Vette, Harley or Hummer. They think it's just another transportation appliance. Some people want to take the journey and enjoy the ride, others want to stay home.

i love H3's, and i wonder if the H2 has any off-roading advantage over the H3? i'm not convinced.
but i do think you're right that they attracta bit of a different crowd. but, then, H1 drivers would say that as they scoff at H2s driven by "soccer moms".
