Back to Basics "The Wave"

[Albie]

Does anyone still wave to other Hummer owners???

Back in the day ( 02, 03, some of 04) we used to wave to other owners. I started doing it again on Friday. Who is going to help me bring it back..LOL

BTW the wave return is about 30% based on 50 waves. ( Las Vegas Nevada)

[H2Blondie]

I do, and the response isn't any better out here in Texas!

Hey we do that too and we have had a good # of return waves.
In fact I can only think of one who did not wave back.

Btw why do we not have a waving icon on here?:)

[Albie]

ok ok ok its the H3 women drivers who do not wave back. H2 owners is about 75%....

[frenzy1]

Nope, 'cause there are no Hummer owners in Belgium ! I've bought mine 1.5 years ago, and in all that time, I've only seen 2 other hummers over here.

[Hmmm2]

I usually do a 'thumbs up' to other Hummer owners if they glance over. There is a mix of H3, H2 and a couple of H1's in our area. Most are oblivious.

[algy]

Not in the city or surrounding suburbs, only when I'm in more rural settings such as West Virginia, in fact, the H2 drivers will push traffic out of the way if you?re signaling a lane change.

ROTF...... aww how cute..

[jroman201]

I do it here in Jacksonville, FL...if I did it to every Hummer owner I would be waving all day long...I usually do not wave though...just a sideways peace sign sorta thing...like 2 fingers...H...2...hahaha...get it...

[Stainless]

I am trying to keep the "wave" going here in Nashville for sure!!

[Tex_h2]

I do, and the response isn't any better out here in Texas!

I also try to wave, some wave and some don't.

[Albie]

2 for 3 today...LOL

[3Hummer]

try but theres an abudance of hummers and a lot of people dont drive the vehicle cuase they truly like it for what it is but becuase its like a status icon to some of these people. Some will wave back. The ones that are offroad looking (Ex lifts, lightbars) will always wave back. Chromers (big rims not the chrome package) never wave back and H1's I always get a wave back.

[DennisAJC]

I haven't seen another H2 here in B.C. for over a month now. And my driving has gone fron an average 1-2 hours/day to 5-6 hours/day.:confused:

I use to see 1-2 a week. But they had spinners or 22" rims.


What was the question again? :D

[HumminNBoatin']

I always wave. I would say about 1/2 wave back.

[timgco]

0 for 4 today. ...and they were looking! BASTAGES!

fwiw- I see at least 12 or more each way I commute.

Jeeze Tim, a dozen a day!?

During that 100mi. round trip we made yesterday to see you we didn't see one! (well, except at your place!) - Go figure! :)

[Albie]

1 for 1........

Black SUT on black SUT love...lol

[[__--MUD--__]]

I have a slight variation of the wav I keep on getting in my H2. I'll have to take a pic of the back of my truck tomorrow and post it.

[Karsun]

I always wave and 9 times out of 10 we get a wave back or even yes, a wave first. :) I was thrilled with my first wave from a Brooks and Dunn H2 that we'd seen in town a lot even before we got ours. :clapping:

[mattyg50]

i do, but this also keeps me in practice for the summer when driving the vette!

[TXSUT]

I'm going to stick my neck out here just a bit on this one. I don't usually wave unless someone else waves first. I'm obviously in the minority here in thinking that the H2, and H2 ownership, doesn't fall into the same "category", for lack of a better word, as do H1s, Vettes, motorcycles, and exotic vehicles like Lambos, Ferraris, etc.

[ib3]

I passed 6 in my 12 mile drive to work today, I was 0 for 6 hmmm I am guessing there are just so many around.... :confused: All of them were stock trucks.

[H2bill]

Is it uncool for an H2 driver to wave to an H3 driver? I know back in the day during my Porsche phase, the hard core PCA members didn't consider the 914 and 924 true Porsches.





















:giggling:

[Albie]

i had this tool. in a H2 just look at me like i was a flippen retard. its simple... just flippen wave back..

[8500lbs]

I like to think I am a regular waver, however I can count on one hand how many times it has been returned. It got me to thinking maybe they cant see me becasue everything including the windshield is tinted. So sometimes I do the light flash also, but still get the same results.

Same here. :violin:

[Metallic Red]

I have people wave to me all the time, alot of them I don't even know?:confused:

And this one guy in particular always waves and I have no Idea who he is, seems like a nice guy. But he's always sure not to spill his BEER!!!;)


By the way Dennis I love your new Avatar.:clapping:

[OrangeCrush]

I don't wave anymore... I gave up. There are 4 H2's that live within a mile or so of me. Not one of them wave. You'd think that because they live close, just as a neighborly gesture, they'd wave.

Fuk 'em... I ain't waving anymore....

[mikejr]

Back in the day when I had my vette, we all waved religiously to each other. So when I got my first H2 I started the wave thing again. I'd say off the cuff that only about 40% will wave back. I wave at all the models. Seems like that H2's will wave back more so than the H3's. Not asking for your first born...just a "hey nice rig" wave....My wife busts my chops for waving, but I see motorcyles around here waving to each other....even cross brands....yes...harleys waving to hondas.....so why the heck not hummers!

Why not Hummers, you ask? Well, I ask, why not Ford Rangers? :giggling:

Yall are trippin hard!

[Jacobcolby05]

This has been something I've been wondering about. Since Im relatively new with Hummers I wasn't sure what kind of response I would get. When I had a Jeep, it was rude not to wave at a fellow Jeeper, but now i've grown up a bit and have a Hummer waves are few and far between. Most of the times if you pass a fellow owner it's more of a staring competition to see whose ride is nicer, followed with a smirk. Anyway I say it's time to bring the Hummer wave back to Texas(just not to H3's)haha

[Albie]

its all the damn soccer moms that don't wave. I just met this H3 chick and she had no idea why people were waving..

:notallthere:

[PaHumBug]

Like someone said; Stock trucks and H3's don't wave back. H1's and mods will wave back. I used to have custom paint, sold it, now I have a stock paint (but I plan on lifting it). Soccer moms don't appreciate what they have, and H3's don't have anything to appreciate :) I was one of the first in this area to have an H2, now that they are more common I almost feel like anyone that waves at me must be a Hummer newbie. They are not near as rare as they once were. I don't initiate the wave anymore, but I always return it (except for H3's, unless they are modified:-).

[blackhawk29]

Some H2's in my area wave, i always wave back, but normally don't wave first. I actually had another H2 the other day come up to me as i was entering my truck and he stopped by to say hi? Nice!... H3's never wave and i normally just dismiss them as a minor annoyance. There are a lot of H3's in my area compared to a few H2's

[Albie]

I saw a black sut lifted like mine and I rolled down the window and waved... that DH just looked at me....WTF... damn jerk..LOL

I love when H2 Strippers wave... i like the jiggle...heheh

[BigPoppa1411]

I always wave to any H1, H2 or H3. Rarely does it get returned, my wife says she waves from hers too and no one waves at her either. We have H3's and they look good.

if I make it down to Zona i'll wave to ya...

[blindzebra]

I used to wave all the time. I hardly ever got returned, but when I did it was from adventures usually. Amazing that little difference in buyer choice turned out to be a whole different mindset. I'll start "Waving it forward" and see what happens.

[Hmmm2]

I've been out of my neck of the woods for a week, where H2's (and H3's) are in more abundance. I've been in N.CA (Pebble Beach) for a week .. passed only two H2's .. waved to both and got nothing in response. Haven't seen any since. LOL. I have to say, too, that people here (Carmel, Monterey, Pebble Beach) are not Hummer-friendly. I've gotten nothing but glares from the townsfolks. Definitely a different feeling than at home, for the most part.

[Boss Hoss]

I live in a town with a small population but tons of tourist. The local h2'ers wave but not the H1 or H3s. Maybe ive been too snoody to wave to the threes--ill give it a shot and see what shakes.

[Boss Hoss]

2 for 2 for H1's this mornining--have not seen a 3 or a 2 yet today.

[almostajeep]

Here, should make you all feel a little bit better..cheer up.

I love Jake at the Beach stuff. I just ordered a decal to go on the H2. It says Life is Good (of course) and has a dog and they're doing marshmallows by the campfire.
