Abandoned History: General Motors' Turbo-Hydramatic Transmissions (Part I)

A few weeks ago, we concluded Abandoned History’s two-part coverage of the Chrysler UltraDrive transmission. Within the comments was a request for more transmission coverage of an equally abandoned nature. Let it be so! Come along as we discuss the vast automatically shifted expanse that was the Turbo-Hydramatic transmission family, by General Motors.

Rare Rides: The 1996 AM General Hummer, Don't Call It H1

As I was considering some serious topics yesterday, namely the Jaguar XK8 as a used car buy and the new GMC Hummer EV, I came to the realization we’d never touched on any Hummer vehicles in the Rare Rides series.

It’s an oversight which is rectified today!

Tassos We, not Porsche, will be the judge of that.
Tassos Yeah, right, that's the ticket.a 22 year old worthless piece of crap painted in Fire Engine Red (Or is it Clown red) , with at least 153,000 miles on it, masquerading as a "used car".Some moron here will soon repeat that this is a good car to get for his teen daughter, just because the stupid girl likes the styling and the "image" of a POS Golf better than the COROLLA or CIVIC she should get instead. I would not get this EVEN if it was a LEXUS of same age, miles and price.Remember the "separation theorem"?"A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED".And it is not as if Tim never proposed some POS VW, almost one in every two of his worthless finds are that DAMNED automaker. AND those who call it damned are ITS OWNERS. Like "My Damned GTI broke down again"...Hey, maybe that loser the PHONY Tassos (yoiu know the loser, the clown who likes Kias and Idiot Joe Biden) will buy it for his 'most likely to conceive" daughter.
Jeffrey Apple music and Podcasts if not listening to NPR.
Theflyersfan Amazon Music HD through Android Auto. It builds a bunch of playlists and I pick one and drive. Found a bunch of new music that way. I can't listen to terrestrial radio any longer. Ever since (mainly) ClearChannel/iHeartMedia gobbled up thousands of stations, it all sounds the same. And there's a Sirius/XM subscription that I pay $18/month for but barely use because actually being successful in canceling it is an accomplishment that deserves a medal.
