Flatland Shooter Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Jim, While you are there, might as well rent and watch the movie "Management". Starts at a motel in Kingman and doesn't really go anywhere from there. Rated 2 stars. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianATL Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 My H2 Hummer ate 2 transmissions before I dumped her. They pay top dollar for H2's in Kenya though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Ouch Jim, that's no fun! Am I allowed to make fun of the fact that you now own a truck from a Chinese company (Hummer was sold last week)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Jim: Should have kept the Jeep. I have heard alot of bad things about H2's including transmissions and drive axles. You would think a company like GM would have fixed all those problems---what am I saying it's a GM. You could do what a couple of friends of mine did when they broke down on the way home from different racetracks. Leave the car there and buy a cheap Toyota to drive back in. When the vehicle gets fixed fly back and pick it up. Then sell the Toyota for more than you paid for it. I have 4 friends that did that. Come to think of it they were driving GM trucks as well. Nevermind then. Hope to see you soon and say hi to Nanci. Thanks, Eric Edited October 28, 2009 by Aircooled6racer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokshwn Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Glad you made it back. Kingman is no place for a vacation. I remember breaking down in Kingman when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Transmission on the Chevy PU my dad had. Good Times Wow! We used to live near Tucson and we spent a day and half in Kingman finding and replacing a harmonic balancer on a 68 Riviera....I was 7 too! Must be the Bermuda Triangle of GM products in the southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyinBlue Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Several of the locals admitted there was some sort of vortex in Kingman that if anything was gonna break it would happen there. Well, happy to be home but it's winter here. Thanks for all the good wishes and watching over us during the ordeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
