Rant About SUVs
This post isn’t about all SUVs, it’s just about Hummer H2 and H3! Everyone who knows me knows the fact that I despise the Hummer H2 and H3 and that the creation of those 2 vehicles had a big downward effect on Hummer as a company! Why? Hummer used to have a specific type of person who was able to drive their vehicles around. Mainly those were the Army and those who had prestige and money! After they built the H2 and H3, everyone was able to go out and get one and you can see that just by looking around you here on the streets of Kuwait!
I have noticed that when people (some and not all) drive their H2 and H3 they think they own the road! All I can say or actually do is laugh at their mentality! If you wanted to really rule the road, go out and get an H1! The reason why I’m writing this rant is cause last night and this morning I have noticed that H2 and H3 drivers have been hogging the road by driving on the dotted lines as well as swerving into the lane I’m in trying to force me to let them into the lane! All I have to say is, “Who the hell are you!” and not let them in!
I drive a 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser and if they want to run into me all I can say is feel free to do so! You’ll get hurt more than I will! My SUV is more of a vehicle in all respects than your H2 or H3! So for those who have H2 and H3 vehicles and drive like civilized people this rant is not against you, and I apologize! On the other hand for those who drive H2 and H3 vehicles and think they own the road, all I have to say is move over cause there are better vehicles on the road other than yours and if you are trying to make up for something you’re missing do it at home and not in public by forcing yourself onto other people’s lanes or driving like your dad owns the road!
Rant over! It’s a good thing I didn’t write this last night cause I was even more aggravated and would have used derogatory words.

Vixen : When it comes to the “Nano,” that just shows you that there is a personality deficiency in the driver’s mentality and I feel sorry for such people! As for the boat, it’s only 26 foot and I will post pics as soon as everything is finished!

THANK YOU! I totally agree with your rant! Ever since I’ve arrived in Kuwait I have just detested those damn H2’s & H3’s. Seriously why do you need one? Aslan a huge car like that? And usually with only one or two friggin passengers? Why would you need to buy such a gas guzzler if you don’t have a family of 10???
Another thing I want to mention about their safety… With their mentality that i’m ‘oh so big and powerful hahaha’ especially when they decide to embark on a chase down gulf road or residential areas. They stick to the back of your car forcing you to speed up since if you needed to suddenly brake or slow down for any reason you’re screwed. You dont know how many times i’ve actually filed complaints and called 777 (its on my speed dial now) against some H2 and H3 drivers that think its funny to chase me (in my lil sedan) forcing me to drive at 120Kmph while they’re glued to the back of my vehicle. Once again this is not against the responsible H2 and H3 drivers or to those drivers that chase the girls that actually ‘give them face’.

AlleyCat : Welcome to my blog and thanks for the comment! I agree with what you said but I have one confession! I am one of those people who, if I am in a hurry I will get close to the rear end of the car infront of me but only on a highway and on the fast lane! Since I have an SUV, I know what’s infront of the vehicle ahead of me and if it’s clear that when it usually happens!

hahaha i was leaning more towards those guys that chase girls (or girls that chase guys
) on the middle or right lane for the sole purpose of intimidating them into taking their number… and how that’s supposed to make them want to call the person i dont know!
“Oh mah gawd he/she tried to run me off the road and kill me… Thats soooooo romantic” *sigh*

Loved the rant, Stallion. When we got to Qatar, the guidelines from the embassy said that there was only one real rule for driving in Qatar, and that was the bigger vehicle had the right of way, and to give way. I especially steer clear of those flatbeds carrying the concrete bricks, not secured. But the Hummer drivers also seem to be oblivious - like “Me tank, you nothing.” I am not even sure they are paying attention.

Intlxpatr : I have not been to Qatar other than for a layover but I have also been told that SUVs have right of way! As for Hummer H2 and H3 drivers, I thought they would be guys who think and talk like, “Me Tarzan! You Jane!” and don’t really care about themselves or their car! They think their dad will pay for their car and nothing will happen to them since the Hummer will protect them, not knowing the Hummers won’t do anything but hurt them more!

Yeah, it sucks when people drive around like they own the road. But the thing is they can get away with it.
If you’re in a camry and the guy next to you is in a hummer everybody knows when it comes down to it, if he wants to turn and you don’t let him and he turns anyway- he’ll squish your ass. Or more accurately *Squish*-you’re dead.
Just like if you were in your camry and some guy in a vespa comes along. If you turn and he doesn’t give you way- well *squish*
It’s the law of the traffic jungle. It sucks. But that’s the way it is.
I have a little confession to make: one of the cars I have access to is an H2; and I absolutely love to get into it, put my aviators on, blast “Move bitch” by Ludacris on the awesome Bose system in the Hummer, and drive KNOWING I own the road- because my car is bigger than everybody else’s.
Its such a rush of power. I go mad with power! Mad, I tell you!

Prophet : Welcome to my blog! As for your comment, I know what you mean! I bet everyone who gets into an SUV thinks they own the road, it’s natural but I just wished people would follow the traffic laws! You can act anyway you want to as long as you use your turn signal and know who has the right of way!
August 13th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
Right-of-way? What is this “right-of-way?”
August 13th, 2007 at 4:15 pm
Intlxpatr : “Right of way” is another way of saying road manners or road etiquette! Example, when you are driving around the round about the drivers who want to drive into the round about should wait for you to pass and not abruptly cut you off! OR if you are on your lane then the person should use the turn signal and either wait for you to pass and then get into lane, or you let the person get into the lane and that person should not just turn in whether you like it or not!

Can you tell me what this means in English please?

Sharah : Welcome to my blog! The statement you asked about is a congratulatory statement use here which pretty much says, congratulations, (God) gives you it’s good (aspects), and keeps away the evil (aspects)!

Thank you so much for the translation. I am so happy it is a positive statement. I appreciate your kind assistance.
