How often do you get flashed?
....headlights, that is. 
When I first got my H2 on 2003, it seems like there was a stronger bond between H2 owners. Like an elite club. About 90% of the other H2s I'd flash (headlights again) would flash back. Now, it's like 1 for 30. Are more H2 owners getting stuck up, or are they just too stupid to figure out how to flash their lights?

Re: How often do you get flashed?
I still give a hand raise wave. But too many bovine-like people drive our beloved brand now.

Re: How often do you get flashed?
On my side of town I get waved at, (for the most part). On Drty's side of town, I get the finger. 
Today I saw a pewter H2 with almost all the same bling I have, including my wheels. I was so happy!

Re: How often do you get flashed?
Unless i see an H3 exactly like mine i normally never get the wave. From the H1 owners i get it though. Probably becuase they realize i actually enjoy the Hummer for what it is, they probably notice that by how i look at their car

Re: How often do you get flashed?
I wave at all the different models. We have so many driving around town now. I feel sort of like the big man on campus now with the H1...  |

Re: How often do you get flashed?
I've gotten a lot of waves form H2's. Not so much with the 3's. I've gotten some waves from Jeepers too.  |

Re: How often do you get flashed?
Nicely timed thread, I just got back from Edmonton and most of the owners up there waved or flashed the lights...here in Calgary it's the complete opposite...either they are blatantly stupid and have no idea as to how to wave or flash their lights or they are just so stuck up they decide to turn a blind eye to other owners...I don't get it?!?! If you look at motorcycle owners they all wave to each other no matter what type of motorcycle they ride, perhaps there is something to be learned there....
Damn, in Red Deer they practically climb out of their trucks while they are driving just to say hello! way to go to to all the Hummer owners in Red Deer Alberta!

Re: How often do you get flashed?
No flashes. I wave to H2 and H3 drivers.
And even FJ's  (for the comradery of an offroad vehicle)

Re: How often do you get flashed?
If I were flashing/waving, I'd probably notice more.
Tim once yelled at me for not waving to another H2 while I was giving him a ride to the Hummer dealer in Colo Spgs. It's the last time I gave him a ride anywhere.

Re: How often do you get flashed?
I thought you meant the lifting-up-their-blouses kind of flashing. That happens to me almost every day around here.  |

Re: How often do you get flashed?
I'd say i get waves from about 60% of the H2's and about 30% of the H3's. Not too many H1's around here.

Re: How often do you get flashed?
Like Mdimitri says bikes wave to each other and when I had my 82 vette, other vette's always waved. Not sure why its not universal with the hummers.

Re: How often do you get flashed?
I always give a thumbs up or a wave, even though I'm not in a Hummer...

Re: How often do you get flashed?
I wave  but seems like I usually initiate it first..seem like I catch them off guard. I see about 1 or 2 H2's a few more H3's in Delaware each day.

Re: How often do you get flashed?
Every time I see a Hummer, I give the driver the bird. Damn gas guzzlers.
