Maine Is Not Hummer Friendly

[Clyde]

I just got back from a week's vacation along the Maine coast. It was the first time taking my new H3 there and unfortunately I had 4 separate run-ins with Hummer haters. The first occurred in the small town of Damariscotta where I was greeted by an elderly couple giving me the thumbs down and yelling "People's children are dying so you can put gas in your vehicle." On another occasion I came back to my H3 and someone had written "YUCK!" on my back windshield. There were 2 other incidents where bad comments were made. I felt like I was riding around with a bullseye on my hood. Maine is a great state to visit, but be ready to defend yourself from the tree huggers.

I don't understand why these people don't hate on the dodge crowd. Hell, anything with a hemi is getting single digit figures.

I like to add fuel to the fire- Just smile and wave.....

What the crap!
To the elderly couple: works both ways. I suppose everyone in your family rides a bike or walks to work.

Serously, those old people are just as guilty if they take that route. I have a friend who is moving to Maine next week. They almost bought a Hummer. They didn't. I was disapointed at first. Now I'm kinda glad if that's the way ppl in Maine really are.

Maybe it was your Jersey plates and not the Hummer?

Coastal Maine in the summertime is 90% non-native. Virtually everyone you see is a trourist. Damariscotta gets huge numbers of bus tours and the good folks from Can-A-Dee-A, especially Quebec, flood Maine in the summer.

I think that people get ballsy when they're away from home. The repercussions are small for being rude and they can get away with it.

Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. I hope that it didn't color your vacation too much.
