    No No No the Isuzu was great the only problem it had was a bad alternator which was a bitch cause it failed before replacements were available. No poop Isuzu had no replacement parts and we needed to have it rebuilt! We kept the Isuzu till the lease ran out and it was in such great shape we were not penalized for being 10k over the mileage limit.

    Red 1967 post type with a 400CID and the Quadra-Jet. Stock 3 speed was recently replaced with a 700R4. Brakes upgraded to Bear 12" cross drilled front and rear. 10 bolt in the rear but for the life of me I can't remember the gearing. Tring to build a custom EFI intake and MagaSquirt efi computer to improve mileage and power. Needs and interior at this point, desert might be good for rust but its murder on 40 year old interiors.

    Like I said earlier none of the cars were scrapped they were all fixed they just all had one form of expensive debilitating failure or another. I due know how to maintain cars, we have enough motor oil here to require a company to collect it every 6 months or so (55 gallon drum).

  15. Re:Another data point on Hummer Greener Than Prius? · · Score: 1

    Its the 400CID with a reworked quadrajet. Its fun to drive and if I keep my foot out of it get 15mpg. My Brother-in-law has the H1 and loves it, got a great deal used and plans to put a million miles on it. If you ant a new one you'll have to buy it as a comercial customer they no longer offer them to use little people! The only real reason he got it was 4 kids and an allergy to mini vans, I mean what other choices do large families have ?

    I can't remember the last freeze we had but it almost hit 100 here a couple of days ago. It's not just Honda I have had/seen early failures from a lot of manufactures, like ooo say Dodge, VW, Nissan, Buick, and Mazda.

  17. Re:Another data point on Hummer Greener Than Prius? · · Score: 1

    I wish but they were good cars. I just never expect a small four banger to have the longevity of a properly cared for diesel or V8. Not to mention the value of rebuilding like a hummer or big truck

    I would think most of these types of batteries lose their ability to hold a charge more then outright fail. They are lead acid deep cycle type?

    One used two new all driven in the Phoenix heat. Never over heated always serviced on time and no I don't hammer then cause my wife didn't let me drive them much and she is a very conservative driver. I have a GTO to beat up :-)

  25. Re:wtf? on Hummer Greener Than Prius? · · Score: 1

    Driving them, must have all been built on Monday (hangovers :-) ) Seriously my wife is the driver of these Honda's and is a very cautious driver. They almost never saw 4k rpm (thats thousand not kilometers) Soooooo, what can I say bad luck or most of the people responding with higher milage are the lucky ones? Now I know for a fact my 67 Pontiac GTO has over 350k miles on it and it is still rolling. Yes its had work done on it but isn't that the point, its original investment in energy use is still there as are all its original parts, it hasn't been crushed and a new car with all it new energy costs built in its place?

    And yes I beat the hell out of it.
