Default Question for all Hummer owners........

Have you ever wanted to use your Hummer as a
battering ram ? Or gently move them out of your way ?

I guess having the front bumper guard on mine is not
such a good idea....yesterday I was following Granny
down a main drag at 20 mph and I just wanted to give
her a little shove....

Anyone else ever feel like this ?

I just love being in a BIG truck when two lanes go into one and some weenie in a micro car tries to jam himself into my lane. Guess who wins that contest

If it's my "micro car" I win that contest every time.
A compact with a manual transmission pretty much rules in traffic

I wanted to do it today!

Leaving a small plaza behind an individual in a full sized Ford sedan. We need to enter a two lane highway on the crest of a hill, which is bad enough. That person literally had a campfire going in the ash try, was talking on a cell phone and just sitting there glaring at me in the rear view mirror.

After watching numerous chances to merge onto the main road expire, I was seeing red and thinking how nice it would be to push that stink-box out of my way. I pulled over into the other (entrance) lane next to her, blocking her view, got the "look" and jumped into traffic. She is probably still sitting there.

Well Dave if we are side by side at the start sure you win BUT if you try to force your way into my lane like they do here in Jersey trust me you will have to drive on the shoulder. I have many victims.

True, I never force it. I won't be coming from 50 car lengths back trying to get by you. I think that people who drive small cars who are "deathly afraid" of trucks just don't know how to use a small car's quickness to an advantage.

If there was an accident it would have been completely your fault

No i think your visualizing it wrong. Two lanes go into one. Left lane must murge right. I'm in the lead in the right lane and you,the other driver, speeds up and tries to force your way into my lane which I already occupy. There are two diffrent spots in my town where this occurs on a daily basis. If I am in the lead and I hold the lane getting behind me is the only resonable option. But I live in a town of aggressive drivers who try to run me off the road to gain one car length in traffic.

Yes it would have but the car was not moving and it was the only way out.
