Default Vanity Plate on a Hummer . . .

Perhaps this should go with the "smug alert" or some other topic, but I thought it was interesting in its own right. It does indicate how some drivers of land barges react to potshots.

I pulled up to a red light behind a huge black new H2. Its Michigan vanity plate high above my hood stating plainly
SHUTTUP

I met the Virginia owner of "SHUT UP." He was driving a late-model Jeep Cherokee.

Best H2 license plate I've seen is "8 MPG." I figure, if you're going to drive an H2, that's a great plate to have.

Default Are They Asking For It?



I've seen 1-2 other Hummer billboards, not including at least six Dallas-area radio stations.

This is almost a Hummer, as the Escalade pickup truck is a lot like the Hummer SUT (should be renamed Suburban Large Utility Truck or ****). An Escalade SUT was making it hard to get on the freeway and apparently proud of his behavior with this plate:

I've seen a few "company" Hummers. Mostly landscaping/real estate.

With the nice weather today, I had the windows down a bit, and was passed by an H2, which sounded like an airplane next to me! Good grief it was loud.

Has anyone heard this? Some big rigs actually get better fuel economy than a Hummer (H1, H2?)

That's true.

I drove a Ford L8000/L9000 with a 40ft flatbed and normaly got anywhere from 8-10mpg. We've since upgraded to a Kenworth but don't keep track of the mileage anymore (translates to: I tell someone else to fill it up)
