What's up with people who buy Hummers?

[Icepick]

On my daily walk through the parking lot where I work I noticed that there's a brown H2 parked there nearly every day. It got me to thinking that Hummers really are the perfect vehicle for a##holes. If the vehicle you drive says anything about you it clearly shows that owners of H2's are a##holes.

Performed a quick search of the 'net and found this gem of a website.

In the mid 2000s every random assclown had a H2 that they 5th mortgaged their house for. Now you rarely see them on the road.

I never bought a Hummer, but I love a free one...

One of the funniest things I've seen happened a few years ago as I was waiting in the parking lot of a restaurant one Sunday morning. An older fellow (estimated 50's-ish) and his wife hopped into what must have been his "new" hummer to drive away. The only problem is that he underestimated the size of the parking lot as he attempted to back up and maneuver his vehicle out of the lot. I stood there watching in amazement as this guy proceeded to pull forward, backup, turn the wheel, pull forward, back up, turn the wheel, rinse, repeat for 15 minutes before he finally freed himself. I'm only disappointed that I didn't have a video camera at the time.

i don't think anything of a vehicle. its the drivers behavior behind the wheel that matters.

Hummers are super rare up here. I remember seeing one "parked" on top of a snow bank facing the wrong way with the hazard lights flashing (he must have crossed lanes and smashed into the side)
It made me lol

Maybe they just attract drivers who want to annoy smug little pricks like you who can't help making judgments about what people drive as if you're some sort of trend setter. Honestly, drive whatever the fvck car you want to, it's not like your choice of vehicle provides you with some kind of moral authority that those who drive SUVs don't have.

Yes, because not liking something automatically means you're jealous of it.

I really don't see a good reason to have a Hummer over other SUVs.

Loved this from the site linked in the OP. I removed the repetitive lines that were in each verse.

Your wallet’s fat, your car is rank
Each burst of speed costs half a tank
At each stop sign and traffic light
Regardless if it’s day or night
They’ll mutter “asshole” and they’re right

You can’t drive mud, you can’t clear rocks
With Chevy Tahoe frame and shocks
What illness do you suffer from?
Are your aesthetic senses numb?
How does it feel to be so dumb?

If I gave you what you deserve
I’d cut you off and make you swerve
I’d follow you across the land
I’d top your gas tank off with sand
And flip the bird with my free hand

It’s true you are the Tax-break winner
You spent it on ‘roo-bars and Spinners
Full fifty-grand you can omit,
But what remains to show for it?
A four-point-three-ton pile of shit.

Despite my venomous complaint
I’ve got an atom of restraint
I hope this point you haven’t missed
Your car selection makes me pissed
In spite of that I can resist

For 3 or more: the carpool lane
But what if you have half a brain?
You solo drive each day to work
That’s why your friends all joke and smirk
Come Humm on THIS, you fucking jerk!

Bitching about people driving Hummers is sooooo 2005. Now that Obama is in office, it isn't an issue. Everyone knows this.

 

[QueBert]

To OP, assholes drive every kind of car. The biggest asshole I've ever met drove a Camry. Meanwhile the coolest guy I've ever met drove an Excursion, which I'm sure would rank uber high on your "cars that assholes drive" list.

 

[ponyo]

I wished I bought one back in '07-'08 when gas price was over $4 gallon and used mint H2 were going for $15k.

 

[Pardus]

2013 for fusion hybrid will be getting 48 mpg. will take that over a hummer any day.

 

[PieIsAwesome]

All those reasons for hating that car are stupid and the haters are probably douchebags. If people want to drive a hummer, let them, I don't give a damn.

 

[thegimp03]

I don't see nearly as many H2's around here as I did 5-6 years ago. Back then they were *the* soccer mom mobile.

Considering he put them out of business, right? :whiste:

My neighbor has a Chevy Tahoe (same platform as the H2 basically) and he can't even park it in his driveway because it leaks oil all over the place. Quality vehicle there.

He's a nice guy though.

Smart money is on the smaller hybrids or cars that get decent mileage. I can't imagine anyone who drives more than 20 miles a day would buy one of these vehicles with gas hovering around $4/gallon again.

 

[moshquerade]

then what about a hummer in a hummer while humming and eating hummus.
what's up people who do that?

Other than the tax loophole thing, the same reasons for hating a H2 in your link applies a vast array of vehicles (range rover, tahoe, etc.).

Not liking it is one thing, making assumptions about the owners is another. Who the fuck cares if someone owns a Hummer? Well apparently the OP, because all Hummer owners are assholes in his eyes.

Hey QBert, nice tits.


I personally don't like the way H2s and H3s look. They're ugly, bulky and have exaggerated lines that make me think of a something a 12 year old boy would design, only it's missing missile launchers, flame throwers and spiky wheels.

I wouldn't drive or own one, but it DOES seem that quite a few owners of these vehicles are douchebags who swerve in and out of traffic, tailgate, merge without looking and otherwise attempt to be "bullys of the road".

Douchebags...no question about it.

My sister owns a Tahoe. She had a Yukon before. She loves it and it's a great vehicle. My cousin owns a Yukon Denali. It's his second one. He bought another one after he sold the first after ~250k miles. He loves it. He puts about 40k miles a year on his Yukon. He couldn't care less about gas prices. He just wants comfortable ride.
