I am currently into about 2,800 miles of an estimated 4,000 mile road trip. My wife and I started out March 12th in the leftovers of a slushy snowstorm. Really messed the truck up. All the way down 95 and A1A to Key West with several stops along the way. I am presently in Atlanta for some sight seeing.

I can count the return waves on ONE finger! Where is the camaraderie? When I drive my Vette, everyone waves regardless of year or model. What’s up with this?

What do you do?

I just returned from a 4000 mile trip from Maine to Nashville Tenn. to Florida and back to Maine. I've never seen so many hummers on the road compared to Maine where there isnt many . Myself , wifey , and kids all waved to every hummer we saw. I bet we saw 50 to 60 h2's and not one waved back. I dont know what happened to the "Wave". Hell , here at home we wave to someone in a Datsun B210 just to be friendly.

If you had waved at me while you were passing through Fort Lauderdale I would have waved back - oh wait I dont have a Hummer anymore.

There are 5 digits per hand. Counting how many fingers I recieved this past month, I'd say I recieved a total of 4 waves.

On the serious side, whenever I see an H2 with 22" rims all blinged out, I get sick and embarrased to be even near it let alone wave at it.

Consider yourself waved to by a local!



Welcome to Atlanta.

never get waves in the H2. only in the vette...

I meet an H1 almost every morning on the way to work and the guy always waves. The pricks in the H2s never wave.

My theory is that so many H2 owners are harrassed, that they have all become ingrained with the need to be defensive -- even against other H2 owners!

In 13 months of ownership, got waived TWICE, and flashed back <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">(high-beam! you perverts..)</pre> ONCE.

I have given up.

Thanks, Klaus. Now I can say I have two waves.

I pass a Black H2 about 4 times a week. I would wave and nothing in return. After about 2 weeks he has caught on. He even waves first. Maybe he is also passing it on. At least it is a start.

I am in Phoenix, and I get Waves from the Owners of H1 then from H2.

I noticed the same thing this past weekend. I actually saw 3 other H2s and not one waved. I was really shocked. Never met or passed another Prowler owner who didn't act like he or she was kin, let alone wave.

I do not know if it is just red neck or what but in Arkansas anything with big tires waves at each other. H2 owners will drive across a parking lot to say Hi to another H2. I guess I have it good hear in central AR. I went to a Kolh's this afternoon and was driving off and a lady, Her Mom, the ladies daughter, and the lady had her baby came running from there 03 H2 Maroon to say Hi to Me as I stopped at the little stop signs on the cross walk to the store. They wanted to see all the bling and remembered seeing Me at the state contest I won so I just told them hang on a minute and I'll pull in the empty spot and we just all talked up until the little girl not baby exactly had to go potty. well that broke up the visit and the lady told Me the business they owned just up the road and was going to tell her husband that She asked Me to come by and see Him so She could make a wish list of things she wanted.It was nice but, I have had the few bad times but are rare at least. so i guess i can report that there are areas where it is not so bad.

The problem is all H2 owners are stuck up. They never wave. I see this guy with a white H1 often and he always waves. BTW, I need to get a pic of his truck. It's always muddy, has 37's, I think, and a roof rack with lights.

I am NOT stuck up! I always have my driver wave at other hummers.

You might have a point. . .Up here in the northeast, people tend to be pricks -- I think without even meaning to be. Having lived all over the country, I can vouch for the fact that people in the south and west are generally friendlier. In fact. . .here in the Boston area, when people wave at you it's normally with just one finger.

I never get the wave (or headlight flash) first. Never. But I always get a wave or flash in return when I take the initiative....I'm making a point lately to be a little more friendly to other H2 owners. I'm hoping it will catch on.

I used to get waves from H2 owners when I drove the H1. Now in my SUT, I get no more waves...

Yup, I flashed at least four other H2s and an H1 on I-35 between OKC and Wichita, Kansas TUE/WED, not one made any effort.
