Default The Difference Between JK and Hummer Owners

Just returned from a Boy Scout leader training for key adults in the council. One of the other leaders is a Hummer owner, and we have an ongoing, friendly rivalry going about our rigs. Well, a couple months ago he told me that he had to buy a new Hummer because of the problems he was having with his engine. So he picked up an HUT. It's a nice vehicle. But, he admits he doesn't off-road it. Today when I see him he asks excitedly, "Did you see my Hummer? I got a tonneau!" I smiled and said that I'd walked in past it, but hadn't noticed the tonneau. Then I suggested he go take a look at mine -- new Shrockworks rear bumper with trail and jerry can racks, and a 2.5" coil lift and new track bars waiting in the garage to be installed. As I was leaving this afternoon I again walked past his Hummer and did take notice of the tonneau--it made me smile. But, not as much as the other three JKs that were all parked within 100 feet of my own Jeep.

Hummer owner= "look at me! Look at my overweight grocery getter! Oh, and I can even take the kids to soccer practice in it!"


Jeep Wrangler owner= (looking at the rocky trail he just conquered) "Hey, look at that H2 stuck down there!"

I saw an H3T a few days ago with a slant back cap on it, man those things are ugly.

Main flaw with hummers is the ifs, the weight, and the fag virgin owners that buy one to drive to the night clubs in order to 'try' to get laid.... Awful awful awful

I pulled up behind an H3 at a gas station. As I was filling up, I saw the driver eyeballing my JK. Just as I finished filling up, I heard the guys son say,"Hey daddy, isn't that the Jeep you wanted?" The dad then said,"You can thank your mom for buying this." I kinda felt sorry for this guy.
