10,000 Mile Review

[usetosellhummer]

sweet, look forward to hitting the 10k mark but not as quick as you. I lived in Carlisle and the comute on the pike got tireing quick. I worked at WHYL county on the dial.

Nice review. I love driving the He. What year TR8 do you have. A picture would be nice.

I used to have a TR7 but I was married at the time and the wife convinced me to get rid of it. Looking back I should have gotten rid of the wife instead. Hind Sight's 20/20.

right on. I'm sitting at about 4300 and still loving the sit out of it. I'll get to 10k one day.

I'll have to double that information. I just turned 10K on the way home from work. Only trip to the dealer was for the additional fluid in the transfer case, and for a TCCM replacement and a new belt pulley to stop the squeak. I will go back for the new rails after I come back next month from Utah.

MPG on interstates was 18+ with air on and NO cruise, through the low mountains of KY and TN. Mileage for all city driving (more stop than go most of the time) has gone back up to 14.9 mpg. Went down in the winter to around 13.5 mpg.

As for idiots, only two, last year in the rest stop in IN was the first one. But after explaining to the witch that she had the H3 confused with the H2 (I explained the differences in mileage to the idiot), I then told her that if she was so worried about saving the natural resources, she should stop eating. I further explained that with what she needed to sustain her body weight, would easily feed a family of four. She then flipped me the bird, and got in her Honda Hybrid and actually tried to squeak the tires.

Latest one was last week. The weird neighbor (we all have one don't we), came over and told me I was wasting water resources by washing my H3. Well, I hate to say it, but I live in MI, and water is really not a big problem...yet. Only problem is the price we pay to Detroit for the water that supplies the suburbs. I also explained to him how to shove his head up his ass, leave me alone, and if you didn't notice, I'm the guy who at least once a month loads his H3 with a long range rifle, while having a SIG holstered to my hip, and drives off to the range. So, don't even think about f'ing with the Hummer. All the while my one neighbor is washing his Expedition, and his wife's Tahoe, and the jerk never said a word to them.

[Scouts Out]

I will be taking a summer break from my current job to head to FT Indiantown Gap here in a few weeks (not before I have to drive to FT Dix and back). I will bring the H3 for the first trip to get my needed luxaries there to make life bearable then driving my 8 out. I pass thru Carsilse twice a month. Trying to save a few miles on the Hummer and some gas with the 8. I have a friend who lives down the "pike" toward Gettysburg. Last week we made a trip from Harrisburg on Saturday to see the import show. Love the town of Carsilse. I will try to post a few pics of my 8 tomorrow. Got rid of the wife and got the 8, was a great trade.

Hey F stop.

Classic idiot stories!!! Why are they always fat chicks and nerds?

[Scouts Out]

I was on the way to Ft Knox when a very very hot chic, mini skirt, midriff baring shirt apporached me staring at the H3. Being confident that it was either my uniform or the H3 I smiled as she walked up, and said "the reason innocent Iraqis are dying is because you and people like you are driving those". I think the only thing worse than an H3 driver to her was a soldier driving one. Oh well.

Not sure, but I sure wish they would stay the F out of my way, and go harass the Dodge Ram drivers for a change.
