I'll be damned if it didn't happen again today. Yes I was the laughing stock of my neighborhood.
Standing in line @ Starbucks getting one of those frappacino things when the guy in front of me is waiting on his drink, keeps looking @ my Hummer. He has this quirky grin on his face and says "Is that yours?"
I reply, "Yes, pretty obnoxious isn't it?" which has become my standard line, to see how folks respond. I am not so arrogant to expect EVERYONE to love my bright yellow H2. Anyhow....
He says. "It's really neat. I've been thinking about getting one."
I said: "You should. They drive nice, are really comfy and climb like a goat even if gas is @ three dollars a gallon."
I tell him a little about my business and line of work and we chat some more, and then I go on my way, and he wishes me good luck with my business.
Mind you, I don't drive my hummer a lot. I use it more as a personal treat, since I have a daily driver and a fuel economic vehicle. However, when I do, I get some pretty amazing looks and stares.
