What do you think when you see someone driving a Hummer?

[Tyo]

[billyskank]

1. I think "what the hell are you doing?"

[Deep13]

2. #2, I figure it's a mid-life crisis.

I was in a restaurant with my wife once. We saw a Hummer in the parking lot and when we went inside we tried to figure out who was having a mid-life crisis. We saw some middle-aged dude in stylish but conservative casual clothes and a flashy watch monopolizing a conversation with his friends. Yep, that was him.

[LeftyMom]

3. What an enormous waste of money

:wow:

[gfindu]

4. Big waste of money

for the vehicle and the gas to run it.

[Crazy Dave]

8. I don't have that kind of money to waste

If I ever do get a windfall though I want a BMW sedan.

And welcome to DU "gfindu" :hi:

[gfindu]

13. Neither do I

I was thinking a used porsche if I ever get a windfall. It is great to be here. :hi:

[Tyo]

18. A '64 Silver Cloud for me

But I'm not sure I could see over the steering wheel without a booster seat.

Welcome to DU, gfindu! :hi:

[gfindu]

20. Great ride. Thanks

Thanks for the welcome. Great to be here. :hi:

[Crazy Dave]

5. "Look at me!!! Please!!!" and "Piss on Global warming"

But you never know. I know two doctors who drive big SUV's and live in big homes that would make three of mine but yet these two doctors donate two days a week (apiece) at a free clinic near my home and even help get expensive cancer and AIDS medications for free.

How can you say anything bad about people like that?

[Tyo]

7. That's people for ya

They usually aren't all one thing or another. Of course there are exceptions that prove the rule.

[Crazy Dave]

9. Yep....like a 8000 sq. ft. plus "green home" for two people

Examples....the celebrity green homes you see on TV all the time.

"Had to knock down a few oak trees, even one with a bird's nest in it, but now we're only paying $600 a month in utility bills instead of $900 and we're protecting the environment at the same time too".

[alfredo]

6. Quit tailgatting me you asshole!!

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

10. I laugh out loud.

And if they're driving an H2, I yell out "Nice Tahoe!"

Ya see, the H2 is a Chevy Tahoe frame with a big box slapped on it to make it look like a Hummer.

[Tyo]

11. Hmmm, gotta remember that for the next time I see one!

[Deja Q]

12. Combo of #1 and #2

[Bunny]

14. I am firmly in the corner of "who cares what people drive" until it

comes to Hummers, then all bets are off. They're a-holes, plain and simple.

[Tyo]

15. That's kinda where I am too

I can deal with the family SUV I guess, but I think people buy a Hummer to make a statement and I don't think I like what they are saying.

[gfindu]

21. I would agree completely

It takes a certain type a person to own one.

[ZombieNixon]

16. How small is it, hotshot?

:rofl:

[Patiod]

17. "Why are you honking at me in the Wendy's drive through line?"

"Honking at me is not going to get the window people to get my food together any faster, dickhead."

My S.O.: "what do you expect, it's a Hummer."

[Phillycat]

19. "I have a teeny, tiny little penis! It's like an innie, really".

[Bzzzz]

39. Ditto....n/t

[BarenakedLady]

22. I think of several things

None of them too kind.

[flvegan]

23. One additional thing I often think...

The Hummer H2 (the most common of these behemoths) is as close as Joe Average is probably ever going to get to driving the SAME car as many of the rich 'n famous. For many shallow folks, having the same thing in their driveway as they see in the driveways of the MTV Cribs, the rap videos, and reportedly owned by many sports figures, is quite something for them. So, for $53k, they get to pretend that they're as "good" (for lack of a better word) as the moviestars and sportsfigures they admire and wish they were more like, and want to be viewed by others as more like.

Of course, the H2 that the basketball star drives is also parked next to a Bentley and a Ferrari, and is most likely paid for.

[Tyo]

24. Had a friend who used to say

Doesn't matter much what you drive, it's where you park it that's important. I'm not sure how important where you park it really is, but you get the idea.

We aren't rich ourselves, but my partner and I have friends with bucks and we've noticed that people who are well off are just as likely to have a late model Toyota, VW or Subaru wagon as they are a Mercedes or BMW or some other luxo-mobile

[petronius]

25. Not really a Hummer comment, but I noticed 2 things yesterday:

I took a long drive down Hwy 1 in CA, and I noticed that

1. People in general no longer understand the concept of using turnouts to let faster cars by, and
   
2. SUV drivers tend to be the worst offenders. Hey, just because you have a 'sport' vehicle doesn't mean you're not driving like a weenie! Pull off, and let the good drivers by...

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. Neocon scum (n.t)

[Ellen Forradalom]

27. "Go back to LA"

Although in all fairness I see way more Priuses than Hummers these days, both in SB and in LA.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

28. "Where's my shoulder fired missile...

when I need it!" Seriously, that's what I think - I am hit with an overwhelming desire to blow the fucker up. :shrug:

[Tyo]

29. They just look like they were made to be vaporized, don't they? n/t

[Initech]

30. They clearly have to be overcompensating for something...

[ileus]

31. living in the same area as Jack Whittaker...

I always think, WTH didn't I win the lottery, not that sorry SOB.

[bridgit]

32. Other - please explain = "what a dick!"

:rofl:

[annonymous]

33. I think Hummer owners are insecure.

Typical Hummer owners seem to be petite women or middle aged males.

[Rob H.]

34. Other: "Hmm, I wonder how many people are in it."

Usually followed by, "Just one?! That figures."

I'm more surprised to see one that doesn't also have one of those obnoxious "W: The President" stickers. I'm surprised they don't slap them on at the factory.

[LibDemAlways]

35. Other - "Owner is an idiot."

[mark414]

36. selfish

[taterguy]

37. Treasonous bastards

It's a word I don't like to throw around but the facts are that we are at war and enemy is Petro-dictatorships, (or whatever Thomas Friedman calls it). They're providing more aid and comfort to the enemy than Jane Fonda ever could back in 1971.

Of course we all could be doing more to use less oil, the Hummer owners are just more obvious in their disdain for all that is great about this nation that I love.

[anarch]

38. well I could tell you what I think when I see the word "hummer"

but you can probably guess.


Must...resist...dirty...copycat....

[bumblebee1]

40. There goes somebody with a small penis. n/t

[barb162]

41. I think Arnie who has or had about 3 of them

[wickerwoman]

42. It's probably the only way he could get one.

I love that the Mormon mafia on "Big Love" all drive hummers.

[Stardust]

43. Asshole.

[terrya]

44. That they should die a merciless death.

I see them around Chicago. There is no fucking reason whatsoever why anyone should own and drive these metallic gas guzzling obscenities in a big city such as Chicago. Zero, zip, zilch.

[ScreamingMeemie]

45. Well, except for those mountainous, trecherously rocky parts of

Lakeshore Drive... :rofl: :hi:

[terrya]

46. Right you are. Kinda like the Alps around LSD.

:rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

47. We were stuck there...without water...for two days once.

;)

[youthere]

48. I think, "What an asshole". n/t

[bullwinkle428]

49. "H2COOL" vanity plate spotted recently; I guess "DOUCHEBAG"

was already taken! The guy was filling up his tank at the time I saw it - took every fiber of my being to resist making a comment about fuel consumption!

[PVnRT]

50. There's a vehicle in dire need of a keying

n/t

[One_Life_To_Give]

51. Depends which one

The Original is a cool vehical. Godd for some real extreme off roading.

The H2 and H3 are jokes.
