I think AM General still makes the military Hummer. They sold the civilian Hummer to GM a long time ago and GM killed it off.

I see that thing at HVCC all the time. Personally, I’d take those Mercedes rims off.

Troopers all over the northway today.  
They had a Tahoe shooting radar off the Riverview road bridge and 4 Crown Vics pulling people over on the northway for a good part of the day. I went thru there 3 times.

E85 (or E70 winter blend) has starting issues in the cold… So I’m told. My TA started no problem the other day near 0\* after sitting for 3 months with old 80% ethanol in the tank.

Also if he has 2 toons, one for 93 octane and the other for E85 he may not use the ethanol in the winter due to the change from E85 to E70. Car would run very rich and would throw codes for rich condition as the computer may not be able to alter LTFTs enough to return to stoich. Just because he runs E85 doesn’t necessarily mean its Flex Fuel

I haven’t tried e85 up here yet but back in CA my car didn’t like to start on e85 even at 35\* out. I will probably wait until spring to run ethanol again.
