Exactly. :)

As long as you’re not planning a trip farther than 250 miles, or need to tow anything, or take 3 kids for a weekend worth of stuff, or putting anything on a roof rack, or...

One of my favorite quotes from an old engineer I worked with...

I think any time your pushing a machine near the edge of safety it’s a blast, doesn’t mater what it is. It’s just a lot easier to get away with it in some than others. That said as a non pilot, I’d love to experience some canyon carving. : )

Flying in a small plane is a blast, an airliner is nothing more than a very fast bus.

You have my sympathy.

This GM employee says that right there is COTD material. : )

My wife’s uncle and cousin both crewed the same air frame, I wonder if there are any plane that have actually had 3 generations serve on them.

According to my dad, that worked at Ford design in the 60s and new Henry ii well by the he retired in the late 80s. There also was a personal insult tossed Henrys way by Enzo as the deal fell apart along the lines of ‘there’s no Fxxxing way an american tractor builder can compete at LaMons”. He also had a copy of pic…

The weight reduction in your wallet will be noticed much more than a 5 HP gain in power. ;-)

+ 1 for that comment.

But car drivers are getting less safe for motorcyclists. Texting and driving anyone.

PPPPPPPST, Jason, (looks left & right) I think an automotive journalist should be able to tell the difference between an H2 and a H3. ;)

Looks like a 76, judging by the hood shape. It was the only year with that rear bumper and round head lamps. 77 and later had quad rectangles and a flatter hood.

I agree completely. If I remember correctly 75-80% of all sled sales fall in the “trail” class of snowmobile, a very different animal than a powder or mountain sled. They look like a hoot off trail/deep snow/mountain riding though.

LMAO, no she’s planning on buying as soon as my wife is ready to trade it in. :)

LMOA, every time I hear the “he’s compensating for a lack of something else” line, I wonder who really has that problem. ; )

I got that you don’t care about the mpg in your hummer, it was more for the benefit of the occasional poster that doesn’t understand what the word “test” means in an automotive context. The “hate” was one of the best thing about driving a Hummer. If they hadn’t shut down, my wife was sold on the idea of an H3t for her…

You can get the mileage printed on the stickers, but ONLY if you drive the exact test cycle, at exactly acceleration and braking rates used, and are stopped idling exactly the same amount of time. Ain’t gonna happen any where other than a test track.

I think you hit the nail on the head. If I had to guess, a new/young/intern power train engineer sent the data to a new/young/intern in the graphics department and being such a simple task it didn’t get double by someone with some experience.
