Do Eco-Terrorists Target the H3?

[deicustoms1]

I've been reading all the vandalism topics in the H2 area. I'm just curious if this is also a problem for the H3s?

I would have no idea why, cause the gas mileage is pretty good, but those crazies don't think too much. Plus I've been told I have a nice H2. :P

I'm in the process of planning my alarm system, and happened to come across those topics so I'm trying to see what I should all consider. Thanks

I had an H2 and I was going to move to Seattle. I got gid of it at that time.... I ended up moving to DFW ... Got an H3... I haven't heard of anything down here but I wouldn't be suprised.

i think us 3ers are getting off easy when you hear of the things done to 1&2's , there have been a couple of keyings but thats it . met a h2er this weekend who is in bay area and he has horror stories . people standing in front of him yelling crap and not letting him leave, etc. etc. he said it was mostly women too .

I have had one issue at the grocery store with someone coming up to me ranting and raving about the environment, then I said (literally) "Hey ****head, how about that 1995 piece of **** escort you're rolling in, I guarantee you I get better Gas mileage than you" Then I got out the car (I'm 6'0, 280lbs) and the guy looked me over and quietly went about his business.

[deicustoms1]

Ok, that's good to hear, that the h3s are left alone for the most part.

I think I may have an unhealthy love for my vehicles, and zero tolerance for people who mess with other peoples cars.

I suppose I can do without the system to start my car, rev the engine, and start a smog machine when someone touches the truck if the tree hugers aren't hating on the h3s as much as the h2s. Still will probably need to keep the 30,000 volt shock system though, just in case. :P

Thanks for the replies, puts my mind at ease a bit knowing we aren't as hated as the h2s.

I live in the area of MI where all are either GM or Chrysler employees. This is like H2/H3 heaven, and just as many of those large (ugly) Commanders and good looking Power Wagons; so, ecoterrorists don't come into this neighborhood too often.
I did have a slight encounter with a Honda Insight owner in IN on my way to TN one day. But she has most likly stopped harrassing dirty old men who really do not care what they say in public.
PS It's not only the wild west where people carry things that go bang under their coats. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Found this in a local comics section. I thought it was funny.

H3's are well liked here in Silicon Valley. People have stopped me in parking lots and response has been favorable. Mostly they ask about the price and gas mileage.

I get the occasional double take and a couple have people have asked to sit in at the gas station. I did have a run in with the what I think was a tree-hugger drive by shooting. They nailed my H3 with a (as in ONE)thank god, yellow paintball,It exploded on the rubber seal for the driverside window, it made a dimple in the rubber, thank god again no body damage. They paint got into the window sill and even after so many washes I still get some yellow goo on the window as it goes up. Sometimes I find that people have massed with the mirrors, pushing them in or out. I live in the city but in a very liberal neighborhood. I do see other VERY LARGE SUV's around with bumper stickers "I am changing the climate," I guess even the H3 cannot escape the stigma of its big brother, if you are an ignorant tree-hugging fairy.

I can't beleave how wrapped up and uptight some people get over what you drive.

[DarthKarl]

These people are typical “thought nazis.” They believe their particular sensibilities are the measuring stick by which everyone should conform. Each are endlessly offended when someone doesn’t march in step with them. They feel they have a duty to dictate their lowest common denominator morals to everyone else. (Hey walc, I think you fit in here)

Some hate SUVs, others tobacco, guns, fast food...you name it and you can find a bunch of these jerks on a crusade against people who think otherwise.

[Webb70]

I remember back in the summer I was driving home from work on the hiway and it was bumper to bumper. This little Honda Insight pulls up beside me and the family(5 people), all quite large(read heavy) looks over at me in disgust. I had my windows down and sunroof open enjoying the weather and they were all crammed inside with the windows up and the air on. I just started laughing uncontrolably and couldn't stop. They all gave me dirty looks every time they got beside me. But they never said a word to me.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I don't know, but I target Eco-Terrorists http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

To me an Eco-Terrorist is a pigeon.

We have a few Eco-thought Nazis here but the best was as were were deploying from a Military base "somewhere in Texas" to a unnamed port to load our uparmored Hummers, we had some one come tell us it was because we were driving the hummers that we had to go to that unnamed country over in the hot sandy part of the world. After seeeing more than our share of IED, the Hummers were amazing. I will post some pics if anyone is interested

I work in LA on a tv show. There are more Prius (what's the plural for Prius?) per sq/ft in this parking lot than a Toyota dealer. Anyways, I don't get flak because (according to them):

1- it's not my daily driver
2- it's a diesel (H1)
3- it's usually covered in mud/dirt/scratches -- in their words, "I actually use it for what it was intended"

from talking to alot of people over the past few years about my H2, then my H1, it seems the major complaint is not necessarily the mpg, but the fact that so many are blinged out, spottless, and obviously never taken offroad. I remember back before I owned an suv, it was funny to me too when somebody would pull up in a jeep all chromed out and squeaky clean. I'm not saying you should all run out and get some trail rash, or stop washing your trucks, it's just what alot of them are thinking

What's an Eco-terrorist and do you use a 6 or 7 shot load? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Hey, I was driving home the other day in my H3 as I was turning left this jackass in a Toyota Highlander gives me the Thumbs Down. I just ignored him. On the flip side the H3 does get alot of compliments...............

[LindaWmn]

I will pick up my new H3 tomorrow and part of why I am buying it, aside from the fact I test-drove one as well as rented one and loved, it is BECAUSE of these Eco-terrorists! While I do garden organically, try and recycle, etc. I still do NOT feel people should tell me what to drive or what not to. If I want a fortress around my family I will buy one. You should've seen the faces on my very judgemental and liberal in-laws when I told them the gas mileage AND the fact that it's a great vehicle to drive for local hospitals in large snows. They didn't expect that, I tell you! I might not choose to do heavy-duty off-road but if there's a crisis, I can go and help. I also loved the "status" accusations -- how is the H3 more status-seeking then the new Porsche Cayenne or the BMW or Mercedes SUVs? Why are they more universally acceptable? This vehicle matches who I am...it's an iron fist in a velvet glove and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to own it.

Amazingly crazy people out there. Live and let live I say!

[mudderducker]

we have our share of degenerate hippies in TX but they wouldn't have the sack to do something dumb like that. 3 out of every 5 men I know, carry concealed weapons. odds that even a dope damaged, ignorantly liberal mind can understand.
