Re: My favorite (so far) anti-Hummer comment I have recevied
I have had my '06 H2 since I bought it new and I would estimate the ratio of negative comments to "I love your Hummer", about 1:500. About two years ago I placed "Hybrid" badges from a Toyota Highlander under the H2 on the doors (it's the same font as the "H2") and the reactions have been priceless.
I don't know how many people have stopped me and commented that they didn't know Hummer made a hybrid. The next question of course is what kind of mileage do I get? "Twenty-six on the highway and about 19 around town" is my standard reply. They don't know what to say at that point, usually it's a shaking of their head followed by a "I had know idea." The best reactions are from the Prius/hybrid drivers...it destroys their entire paradigm.
Even cruising on the freeway, you can see the passengers in cars looking at the badge and mouthing to the driver, "I didn't know they had Hummer hybrids......"
The badges were about $12 each from a Toyota dealer but the pleasure they have given me truly has been priceless.
