So, I've taken to flipping off H2 Hummers...

[Kazak]

I just can't help it...it just seems the most appropriate response to the very spectacle of those bohemouth rolling boxes. It's almost become an uncontrollable rephlex. I sure hope this activity doesn't get my ass beat to a bloody pulp, but I'm guessing that these drivers get that a lot. Come on DU, join in...flip off the next one you see...its therapeutic.

Edit: spelling error.

[i have issues]

1. I thought I was the only one!!!

Here in L.A. they're everywhere... I'm starting to get tendonitis,,,hee hee

[umkhonto]

2. Me Too

It is catching on...

Mods, how about a campaign on the front page?

[Syrinx]

3. Funny, I got flipped off once when I asked for a hummer

:evilgrin:

4. You guys are coming late to the party.

I've been doing that for ... a year, anyway. I hate the message those damn things send: I'm rich and I don't care what you think; I like military stuff, I only wish it had a turret and a tale gunner: I hate the environment; etc.

I can't make up my mind whether they look more like a Brinks truck or a Japanese apartment building. Some have said they look like those old Volkswagon Things (is that what they were called?). In any case ... ugly vehicles, driven by assholes ... that provoke the asshole in me.

Oh, and don't worry about getting beaten up. It would take a week for one of those things to do a three point turn around ... and the top speed is like 80 mph ... and they'd run out of gas before they could get to that speed.

Keep on flippin'.

5. In DC, I Believe That's Called "Aggressive Driving"...

... it can get you shot, run off the road, or ticketed.

6. Some genuine offroaders have them here in Montana

And there's not many of them, so can't go flipping them off. I feel driving around a bloated pig of a vehicle and paying out the nose for gas is bad enough.

Also, ton of pickup trucks here, and they don't get much better fuel economy.

I drive a shitty old minivan that only gets 20mpg, really want a Toyota Prius, but alas want and afford are never the same thing.

[HEyHEY]

7. yeah like someone driving one of those yuppie machines

would have the guts to get out and start a fight

[alwynsw]

15. I drive an Escalade

I appreciate my comfort. No pansies in my family. (except my toupee wearing brother)

But I still love ya!

[Catch22Dem]

8. LOL

Been doing that for a while too. Glad to know there are others out there doing the same.

[leftofthedial]

10. funny! Me too!

but then I flip off SUV's in general, until my finger gets worn out about a block from my house.

11. Fingers away!

Not to mention brights!

[proud patriot]

12. I give 'em the EVEEEL eye

:evilgrin:

[maggrwaggr]

13. I flipped off my first just the other day! It was like a reflex

I live in LA and there are a ton of them here, usually driven by men. Sometimes several black men inside. Probably shouldn't flip off one of those seeing as how I'm your basic blue-eyed devil kind of nordic guy.

I flipped this one off the other day and then realized there was some woman behind the wheel. Oh well. Are you running that thing on Iraqi blood?

[wiggle-room]

14. I gave one the thumbs down the other day. I'd really like to...

get some bumper-stickers that say something like : "Enlist your son, this machine doesn't run on air." or "Almost 8 US soldiers per gallon, and hummin' right along." Or something like that, and take those stickers and find some parked hummers and, um, not put them on the hummers. Yeah, that's it.

[TXlib]

17. "Enlist your son, this thing doesn't run on air!"

I love it!

[newyawker99]

20. Hi wiggle-room!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Robb]

18. Just feel sorry for them

I mean, they got the H2 because they couldn't afford the price tag on the H1 (almost twice as much, IIRC).

Now, an H1 is a status symbol. Anyone who can blow six figures on a motor vehicle.... but the H2? C'mon. It's like those guys that got the mod kits for the old Spyders to make them look sort of like Ferraris. :eyes:

[slackmaster]

19. Is your life insurance paid up?

You never know when one of those H2 drivers is going to snap and either mow you down or shoot you.

Seriously, flipping the bird at strangers is a very foolish habit.

[Zero Gravitas]

21. H2 owners

I've heard that the H2 gets more complaints from owners than any other type of new vehicle/small mobile building. And get this, the Number One Complaint From New H2 Owners is: (drumroll please) ......................

It gets crappy fuel milage. Well, DUH!

I shit you not!

These (ahem) people buy these monstrosities and then are surprised when it gets 40ft to the gallon. Un-frigginbeleivable! Apparently since these things have their own zip code they are exempt from having the fuel mileage stickers on the windows and buyers must not be too swift on the whole physics thing...

[Nailzberg]

22. I throw pennies out the window at them after I cut them off.

Chips the windshield, and thins out the change in the ashtray.

[SOteric]

23. Wouldn't be smart.

My boss drives one.

24. You have tinted glass?

You can probably count on getting the crap beat out of you eventually.
