Hikers/Mtn Bikers: Have you ever seen a Hummer at a Trailhead? |
|
I try to get out and do a hike at least once every two weeks and it dawned on me that I've never seen a Hummer at a trailhead parking lot - I've seen plenty of standard SUVs - but never a Hummer. I wonder if one reason besides not wanting to scratch the paint is that Hummer driver would probably get some "choice" notes left of their vehicle.
(Self disclosure: I drive my "rugged" Prius to the mountains)

I've never seen a Hummer at a trail head either. The owners may be afraid to get them dirty (sarcasm).

I'm a trail runner/mtn. biker in Michigan and I can't recall seeing a Humvee at a trailhead -- plenty of larger SUV's, tho.
I certain we'd see 'em if there was a shopping mall there...:)

3. Hummer owners don't actually hike |
|
They are more into "pretend".
At least SUVs are, for a small part of the population, actually useful

And they are all over the roads in Central Florida...which for the life of me, I don't understand the rationale of *any* 4wd in this area. It is flat as a pancake, and never sees snow or ice.
I see a lot of small pickups around the trails etc.

I do both, and I haven't seen any Hummers, but I usually see SUV's. From the few people I have seen with Hummers and they few people I know that want Hummers, I have seen a consistent pattern....everyone who wants one has a "everyone notice me" attitude.
