   Colorado is full to overflowing with green and useless virtue.

2. L – “Gee, that electric motor is kinda quiet. I thought, it was supposed to Hum…
   “Hello, GMC what’s wrong with my…”
   GMC: “It’s not dead. It’s just sleeping.”

   1. Well, then, if it’s sleeping I’ll wake it up. HELLO, MISTER POLLY HUMMER

3. Did he leave the radio on?

   1. Must have been those really kewl TRIPLE windshield wipers. THREE BLADES!! woot woot! Look at me!!

      1. Tell me that is “unprecedented” and I’ll remind you that E Type Jags had them way back in BC

         1. E Type Jags stop working at 250 miles too.

            As Martin Brundle said, all of the competent British engineers work in F1, because you can’t find a British passenger car where the door won’t fall off after driving three blocks.

            1. Don’t forget the old MG’s, they had triple wipers as well..
               Some british cars were built with Bosch components, they seem to be better than the ones built with British Leyland or *shudder* Lucas ones..
               Which brings to mind the old joke:
               Q: Why do British people drink warm beer?
               A: Because Lucas also makes refrigerators!

4. See, here’s your problem. You paid 115 grand for a vehicle, dummy. Dummy.

5. Folks you do know that it is still possible to build cars and trucks without computer chips and all the unnecessary electronic crap.

   1. “Folks you do know that it is still possible to build cars and trucks without computer chips and all the unnecessary electronic crap.”

      Yeah, it’s possible to farm by hand & horses too – nope, not giving up my SMPFI and electronic spark control; especially as every car I ever bought with them, came with AC as well (except one, and I installed it on that one myself – what a nightmare!!!). ‘Sides, the only engine I rebuilt was carburated; burned its own weight in oil by 100,000 miles. FI engines wear-out much more slowly (or maybe I just did it wrong; no real surprise there either, another nightmare).

      1. Y. K. The damn cars built in the 1950’s and 60′ worked just fine and farming was not done by hand with horses except by Mennonites.
         Service an engine properly and it will run 100’s of thousands of miles, even those built “way back when”.

         1. I still have memories of burnt eyebrows from holding the butterfly valve on the carburetor open with a screwdriver on my Dad’s Ford station wagon when it flooded as usual when the temperature dropped below -30.
            Fuel injection put an end to that nonsense.

            1. Rookie. 😉

               We used to use a tail comb. Hold the choke butterfly open, place the comb across it & the air horn, step back, hit the starter, et voila! Didn’t even need another body.

               ‘Course, there was always the chance that the comb would either melt or catch fire when the engine backfired, but that’s another story.

            yep – 100%

            my D’max:

            Added a Secondary Oil filtration (FS 2500), set up: A 1/2″ hose from motor goes to 5″ Diam. Cannister holding a 5mU filter), oil passes through passively via engine Oil pressure & then by hose goes to the drain plug Hole in the oil pan.
            On the Std spin on, I always have a strong magnet attached to the bottom end. Both keep metallic crud from circulating in the engine and out of the Fuel system as well. (that would work for ANY ICE car)

            My Oil gets changed every 20-25,000 km’s

            Fuel system has a FASS lift pump set up which includes a de-aerator, and a Primary Fuel filter at 10mU. in the std engine bay location, I always use OEM emulsifying Fuel Filters as well.

            FILTRATION is the KEY to Longetivity IMO.

            06 Truck sits at: 620k Km’s
            Runs like a dream…. and no CNTRL – ALT – DEL for me…theres microchips, but I control them, not some AI program or the internet.

            Ya truly gotta wonder on the sanity of folks who would drop ~160k CAD..? on one of those useless EV Beasts…

   2. very olde whyte goat
      My 2 liter 4 banger has about 340 HP, and that is a lot more than most of my older V8’s cranked out, and they were all 5liter and more. That is modern technology, live with it, we ain’t going back.

      1. GYM, you missed the point completely.

      2. HP is only a part of it. Your 2 litre engine doesn’t have the torque to haul to haul anything but passengers.

6. Well at least the Hummer didn’t demand you vote for Klaus Schwab to be President, before it would move!

   1. Yet…

      1. Or, head for a point beyond the end of the pier if you refuse.

7. A fool and his money…you know the rest. Either pushback on the trend with the elites or start walking.

8. It’s a GM. Do the gas versions make it any farther?
