I call it penis envy.

I own both....JK and a Hummer. It's funny how the Jeep vs Hummer thing is. Most of the time the jeep people always waves.....Hummer folks don't. Between Hummers the 3's like each other, but a 3 and a 2 just won't even look at each other on the road.
I think it's a little foolish personally, but I have wheeled both, and both have their own capabilities.

Apparently it's a pissing contest to those guys, maybe a competition that they feel like they are in....but they are in it alone far as I'm concerned- they can't compete. Hhhmmmm.....I'll stop there so I can now ease up beside of them and come up with a look to return lol. Jackasses. Jeeps Rock
milcoast, the look they might be giving you is one of envy!
After all, Jeeps are still made and have been used many more years then a Hummer.
2012 Jeeps are available but a 2012 Hummer?... even China didn't want them.
Then to top it off they paid more for it..

The only Hummer I have any respect for is the H1, the last two models are P.O.S. I love pulling up next to H2 and H3's just knowing that they have some very overpriced Government Motor products that just suck and are ugly as turds

I still dont understand the animosity between the two, since both were once the same company. i love the H1, and would own one if i could find one i could afford.

I like the H3 and the H2, the H2 "SUT" particularly looks good, but the H1 is badass; I still love those things.
My black 11' JKU Rubi is great, but the H1 is about 10x tougher looking; especially the Alphas.
Some day some one will build another H1 type vehicle (not those China copies), hopefully updated, and more reliable, and I'd definately be looking at one.

It's a requirement that to drive a harley you must look like a pirate.

Wasn't the h1 made by amc? And that's why the h2 and h3 suck, GM!
