Is there a Corvette "WAVE" for the H2?

[NJ H2]

As a new owner of the H2 and coming from years and years of owning Corvette's AND Porsche's, I was wondering if H2 owners wave at each other when passing on the road like Corvette/Porsche owners do?

The north end of the island is better for cruising being the much larger area of the two. Also way less crowded even in the summer.
The south end is considerably smaller. Not much area for cruising, but better in the summer time for gatherings and barbecues on the beach. It gets very crowded on the weekends in the summer.
This time of year would be excellent for a cruise of the north end.

Hell everyone in New Jersey waves. They just don't use all five fingers; usually only one!!

If another H2 wave at me, I'll wave back, if there is enough time, usually not enough time before passing, he/she might think I am rude, too bad, not my problem. So you shouldn't over-analyze it. I may or may not wave at another H2, has nothing to do with I am nice or not nice. I may or may not look at the Hummer next to me at the red light, I did and he didn't, I didn't maybe he did. Not everyone is comfortable in parties, not everyone is into the Hummer groupie thingie, not everyone is comfortable with waving at total strangers on the road whatever they drive. If you get upset at another H2 not waving or looking at you, you are only piling shi* on yourself. Tell you the truth, I rather not wave at any stranger on the road, not even H2, I did and will wave mainly because I feel obligated to do so.

I used to see H1s more often than H2, at least daily or a few H1s a day, but not any more, I think they all switched to H2s. Someone said(and often others too) "paying $100K for H1", nobody do that, list price is $130K, but we all know no one pay that price, get that out of your mind. General public may and should be fooled on Hummer price/image, but not us.

These smiling happy faces prove that I am a nice guy.

I've owned my H2 for 8 months and only one other owner waved. I'd wave.

I wave and flash...I have had one H2 owner in easton ask about the h2source decal. Not sure if he ever became a member or not..but I tried.

There are a few other H2's around town, so I usually give a flash of the lights on the brushguard as a 'hello'...I always get a wave..

There's a weird separation where I live. There aren't many H2's or H1's for that matter. All of us with the H2 wave to each other, but the guy's with the H1's don't wave back. There was an unplanned gathering at the local mall one day when 5 people with H2's all parked in the same area. I didn't know any of them previously and now have 5 new friends. One guy pulled up in an H1, when one of the guys with an H2 said hi the dude just ignored him. Which prompted a "hey what's your problem"? To which he replied "when you get a real Hummer I'll say hi". After driving the H1 for years in the military I could never see how anyone would want one for their civilian car, let alone pay over 100k for it. Where I live there are no Rubicons or trails for that matter. In case any of you were wondering the H1 owner was David Ducovney (if that's how you spell it) of X-files fame. He and his wife Tea Leoni have a summer house where I live.

I agree 100%. Some owners may wonder, " What's he, she, them waving at me for?.. Do they know me... Do I know them?.. Who are those guys?" They may be just owners and/or drivers..but enthusiast?, probably not. They're not part of the crowd.

There's a lot of vette people who don't wave either. Probably new vette owners..longtime vette owners usually wave.

I still try to manage to wave, or give a short honk.

I wave with my head outside the window, tongue wagging in the breeze

spike,

The dude next to you was probably just jealous that his ride wasn't as sweet as yours. We do have to also consider that with all of the windows up there isn't much light in the cabin and it can be hard to see what people are doing (waving? Giving you the middle finger? We don't know, we are just happy to have response when we "give the love" to fellow HUMMER owners. You've also got to understand that a fair amount of other HUMMER drivers who aren't HUMMER enthusiasts (a driver and enthusiast are not the even the same animal) don't share the same feeling of brotherhood that we all do. There loss.

I wave to EVERY H2 & H1 that I see. Not everyone waves back. Makes me wonder how others could think that Hummer owners are snotty.

[Jigga]

There are about 6 or 7 hummers around my town, when I pass by one another i give a little double tap on the horn, they usually reply with a horn sound of their own. Much cooler than a wave and more people notice.

same issues in brentwood,tn. very seldom do other h2s even acknowledge me when I wave or flash lights.

Having been a corvette owner in the past when I got the H2 and now the H1 I always way at fellow "Hummer" owners. None of this only H1 crap. All hummer owners.

With this said, the practice is certainly not as widely followed as in the corvette community or dare I say the jeep community. Really ashame. Guess all we can do is keep up the "community" spirit and hope it catches on.
