Back to Basics "The Wave"
 
Does anyone still wave to other Hummer owners???

Back in the day ( 02, 03, some of 04) we used to wave to other owners. I started doing it again on Friday. Who is going to help me bring it back..LOL

BTW the wave return is about 30% based on 50 waves. ( Las Vegas Nevada)

Hey we do that too and we have had a good # of return waves.
In fact I can only think of one who did not wave back.

Btw why do we not have a waving icon on here?:)

Re: Back to Basics "The Wave"
 
ok ok ok its the H3 women drivers who do not wave back. H2 owners is about 75%....

Nope, 'cause there are no Hummer owners in Belgium ! I've bought mine 1.5 years ago, and in all that time, I've only seen 2 other hummers over here.

I usually do a 'thumbs up' to other Hummer owners if they glance over. There is a mix of H3, H2 and a couple of H1's in our area. Most are oblivious.

Not in the city or surrounding suburbs, only when I'm in more rural settings such as West Virginia, in fact, the H2 drivers will push traffic out of the way if you?re signaling a lane change.

Re: Back to Basics "The Wave"
 
try but theres an abudance of hummers and a lot of people dont drive the vehicle cuase they truly like it for what it is but becuase its like a status icon to some of these people. Some will wave back. The ones that are offroad looking (Ex lifts, lightbars) will always wave back. Chromers (big rims not the chrome package) never wave back and H1's I always get a wave back.

DennisAJC 03-12-2008 07:25 AM

Re: Back to Basics "The Wave"
 
I haven't seen another H2 here in B.C. for over a month now. And my driving has gone fron an average 1-2 hours/day to 5-6 hours/day.:confused:

I use to see 1-2 a week. But they had spinners or 22" rims.


What was the question again? :D

I always wave. I would say about 1/2 wave back.

I have a slight variation of the wav I keep on getting in my H2. I'll have to take a pic of the back of my truck tomorrow and post it.

Karsun 03-13-2008 07:16 AM

Re: Back to Basics "The Wave"
 
I always wave and 9 times out of 10 we get a wave back or even yes, a wave first. :) I was thrilled with my first wave from a Brooks and Dunn H2 that we'd seen in town a lot even before we got ours. :clapping:

i do, but this also keeps me in practice for the summer when driving the vette!

Re: Back to Basics "The Wave"
 
I'm going to stick my neck out here just a bit on this one. I don't usually wave unless someone else waves first. I'm obviously in the minority here in thinking that the H2, and H2 ownership, doesn't fall into the same "category", for lack of a better word, as do H1s, Vettes, motorcycles, and exotic vehicles like Lambos, Ferraris, etc.

I passed 6 in my 12 mile drive to work today, I was 0 for 6 hmmm I am guessing there are just so many around.... :confused: All of them were stock trucks.

Re: Back to Basics "The Wave"
 
Is it uncool for an H2 driver to wave to an H3 driver? I know back in the day during my Porsche phase, the hard core PCA members didn't consider the 914 and 924 true Porsches.

I like to think I am a regular waver, however I can count on one hand how many times it has been returned. It got me to thinking maybe they cant see me becasue everything including the windshield is tinted. So sometimes I do the light flash also, but still get the same results.

I have people wave to me all the time, alot of them I don't even know?:confused:

And this one guy in particular always waves and I have no Idea who he is, seems like a nice guy. But he's always sure not to spill his BEER!!!;)


By the way Dennis I love your new Avatar.:clapping:

Re: Back to Basics "The Wave"
 
I don't wave anymore... I gave up. There are 4 H2's that live within a mile or so of me. Not one of them wave. You'd think that because they live close, just as a neighborly gesture, they'd wave.

Fuk 'em... I ain't waving anymore....

Re: Back to Basics "The Wave"
 
Back in the day when I had my vette, we all waved religiously to each other. So when I got my first H2 I started the wave thing again. I'd say off the cuff that only about 40% will wave back. I wave at all the models. Seems like that H2's will wave back more so than the H3's. Not asking for your first born...just a "hey nice rig" wave....My wife busts my chops for waving, but I see motorcyles around here waving to each other....even cross brands....yes...harleys waving to hondas.....so why the heck not hummers!

Re: Back to Basics "The Wave"
 
This has been something I've been wondering about. Since Im relatively new with Hummers I wasn't sure what kind of response I would get. When I had a Jeep, it was rude not to wave at a fellow Jeeper, but now i've grown up a bit and have a Hummer waves are few and far between. Most of the times if you pass a fellow owner it's more of a staring competition to see whose ride is nicer, followed with a smirk. Anyway I say it's time to bring the Hummer wave back to Texas(just not to H3's)haha
