I'm back

[HummerJim]

After a long, but successful battle with cancer, I'm back as old, as mean and as onry as ever. The '06 Green Shadow Metallic (in the first 125 build) that trecked from here to Alaska, is now in the possession of my son in Colorado with 71,283 miles on it. It ran flawlessly, no cylinder head or engine problems, never burnt oil, and just the crack in the roof plastic trim, a burnt out window lift motor and averaged 13 to 15 mpg. It was a vehicle I loved to drive and looking forward to what I want on a new H3 got me through some dark days at the hospital. My wife put on several thousand miles going back and forth from the lake to the hospital in St. Louis in the H3 and was sorry to see it go last week, but it's still in the family! It was a vehicle I ALWAYS enjoyed driving. My Hummer Tshirt was a welcome relief to hose atrocious blue hospital gowns too!
Now I look forward to getting an '07 as soon as I am stronger and back to my old self - but ALAS, no more Shadow Green Metallic. I know the exact equipment I want on it and have already test driven an '07 at Lynch. I found the added power in the '07 very welcome & very noticeable to those of us who have spent a long time in the cockpit of the '06 . Am I getting old and loosing my hearing, or is the '07 quieter than the '06?
Good to see Fstop and some of the old gang. This has taught me, to enjoy every day, not put off till tomorrow the things you really want to do, and drive a HUMMER!
