Is it just because it?s a Hummer? WTF???

[HummerMann]

Some people are just jerks and the Hummer brings it out more when they see one. I was also stationed in Germany many moons ago and if you play games and block people in the passing lane on an autobahn you die. I loved driving the autobahns, but I saw a lot of wrecks on it where you couldn't even make out what kind of car it was before the wreck. NICE VIDEO! Love the sounds of the gear changes.

Ya know, I've actually had the complete OPPOSITE experience. Maybe it's where you live? But in my area, people respect the Truck. It's borderline worship, I swear. I'll be in a merge lane and 9 times out of 10, people in the main road will STOP to let me merge in. It's freaking nuts. At any stop sign, they wave me through, even if THEY have the right of way. This area is mostly trucks tho, so that may be it?

I honestly think it?s people just trying to be jerks. This is NOT the first time.. I?ll bet I can give at least 8 incidences in the last year.

About 2 months ago, I had a woman in a Highlander drop to 60 (in a 65) and drove exactly next to the semi next to her.

The difference was I was pulling a 18? car trailer (empty). I followed and followed, flashed my lights, eventually crawling up her ass to the point I was about to push her.

All that did was make her slow down....

Finally, I slipped the truck into 4WD and punched it. I passed her in the median of the highway with two wheels in the grass and two wheels in the shoulder.

I then used the trailer to move her into the right lane.

Though I must sound like a raving lunatic, I?m not UNTIL you keep fukking with me. I will be more than courteous, I will go out of my way to let someone in before they even put their turn signal on.

I don?t care if I?m running 80 in a 60 in the left lane, if I see someone flying up behind me, I MOVE THE FUK OVER.

My biggest pet peeve is people that drive in the left lane, my years ago, I had a 3? decal in my back glass that said...

IF I HAD TO PASS YOU IN THE RIGHT LANE
GET THE HELL OUT OF THE LEFT LANE!!


Like I said, I will give them the benefit of the doubt meaning perhaps they didn?t see someone coming up behind them... perhaps they just weren?t paying attention and didn?t realize they were going slow in the left lane... it?s cool, it happens.

BUT once you realize that someone is behind you, the courteous thing is to safely move over, don?t purposely be a jerk.

The moron in the mercedes must have **** his pants when he saw the hummer bearing down on him, he punched it and I chased him down like he was sitting still. I love the duramax...lol.

I live by the rule, give respect, get respect.. don?t and see what happens.

Morons.

It is a shame the duramax wasn't an option from the factory.

Devilsfan, I honestly think it is because you are in TX. People actually have some pride and respect for our country and the great things that come from it there. Everywhere else is getting too full of liberalists and hybrid drivers; they are quick to forget how our country got to where they are today. Head up to ID, UT, WY, and MT and people all of a sudden respect the ride again, funny how that works.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I INSTALLED TRAIN HORNS.

Oh yeah, I definitely agree...

I mentioned we went white water rafting and about a month ago we went to the mountains. I could feel the tension, no doubt. A bunch of tree hugging, back packin?, mountain climbing, bike riding, granola eatin? motherfukkers.

And here I pull in with all the volvos, priuss, and jeep people. (as an owner of 3 Jeeps, why is it acceptable to the green people to drive a 13-15mpg Jeep anyways?)

Oh, I have train horns, they died last week, I think the solenoid is dead again. (that?s like the third one in the last year or so... POS)

It wouldn?t have made a difference, when you see nothing but the bottom of bumper in your rearview mirror they know you?re there.

...as well.

OrangeCrush...you need to get a PA system. Ever since I've installed mine driving around DC is so much more enjoyable. If someone pisses me off I let'em know...IMMEDIATELY. It's done wonders for my bouts of road rage...and it freaks people out a bit too. LOL! It's funny so see people's faces when they hear a voice booming around their vehicle saying, "HEY, A55HOLE..."

I can honestly say that I don't get nearly as angry when encountering idiots on the road since the PA. It's something about 'being heard' and 'letting it out' that is very therapeutic. Even if I don't give them a piece of my mind, just knowing that I CAN is very calming to me.

Carson SA-385 is the way to go...good price, good quality, relatively small form factor.
