The new Vettes have 400-500hp, high street gearing, 6-speed trans, and almost no wind resistance

so figure at 60 mph in 5th gear the engine is harding working at all.

I get about the same gas mileage in my 1973 Corvette coupe (L82 4 speed) as I do in my H3 so perhaps there's hope for the H3 in 30 years or so...:giggling:

Their training method (typical of the time) was to strike and not physically engage (ie: wrestle) with suspects. My training included ground fighting techniques. Although you can get hurt more easily while ground fighting, there was enough guys there to pile on and subdue him. Damn. Sorry for the hijack.

Like I said before, the RCMP is awesome.:beerchug:

I thought there was mention of a smoking jacket with the H3?

I want to thave one too. This way I can sit out in the garage and look at my truck with everyone else.

GLBLWARMR: I think your mileage tip was by far the best one and I believe jfontestad owes you a years supply of gasoline for being the winner. Mac you are also a rookie and not a peace officer here so maybe you should lighten up. The Rebel:iagree: :perfect10s:

The flaming Hummer idea sure makes for a spectacular scene! I'd be willing to watch.
