Correct Hummer Gas Mileage
 

Just to let u know.....you were way off on the Hummer gas mileage....and it gets


13 mpg city/ 17 mpg hwy


p.s. thats probably better than my Ford Bronco II :D

Re: Correct Hummer Gas Mileage
 

1-1.5 mpg sounded a little low. but they still glug too much.

The Porsche 911 is all wheel drive. It will fare MUCH better in the snow then your ford escape....

Re: V12!!!!!
 

Actually Corvette's don't have a carbon/fiber frame. The Corvette safety cage (frame) is made from steel. Corvettes, and all new cars, have crumple zones that are designed to be compacted in a crash to absorb the energy, is this what you are referring to? Also the frame on a McLaren F1 is VERY structurally sound, and will not 'crack like eggshells'

Re: Correct Hummer Gas Mileage
 

thats almost better than my Dodge Ram. :\
i think the sticker said 13/15

The Porsche 911 has all wheel drive, but it is not standard
 

The basic model of the Porsche 911 Carrera is not all wheel drive. You must boost your spending up a couple thousand dollars to the C4 or ( carrera 4). Although they do have exceptional traction on wet and dry roads, the ground clearance isn't to good for the snow. You would be better off with a Ford Escape. Porsche's still are the best cars in the world though.

Re: Re: V12!!!!!
 

I was thinking of the Porsche 911 turbo when I referred to the all wheel drive.

hmmm about cars shattering...
when i totalled my old wagon i realized that the design incorporated ceramic parts...there were shattered pieces and ceramic slithers all over the place.

1986 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS STATION WAGON BEST VEHICLE EVER MADE
 

Mike, I think you might back me up here (or at least partially). The 1986 Grand Marquis wagon is what I drive and couldn't love the thing more. Leather interior, a big 5.0L V8 engine, and room for all your friends and then some! Beating base model mustangs off the line in this thing is hilarious. ;) In general the thing is just 2 tons of pure enjoyment.

~Tom~, who simply loves his car. :D

P.S. I've put in two 12" sub woofers in it too, so it can even out blast the low riding types too. :cool:

Tank eh? Happens to be my plates. DA TANK

~Tom~, proud driver of DA TANK

i gotta agree with tom on that one...
one of the best things i ever did in it (i think) was driving it up this hill through the woods...
