You're SOO lucky the shot of the Jeep rescuing you didn't turn out better, Mike!!


But hey, he really did pull out a full size Chebbie Funniest part was watching an H2 try to pull it out beforehand, from the wrong angle... then the tow hook on the Chevy straightened out and WAM! the tow strap smacked into the H2's glass... turned out the guy's brilliant girlfriend had his full size silverado in PARK

It was fun seeing everyone else get stuck too, plus when was the last time you saw an H2 get muddy?

I got mine a little muddy too, but the important part was kept clean

In case anyone else ever has an issue with their first gens overheating, I suggest you pull the rubber weatherstripping and hose between the condenser and radiator really really well... sometimes it doesn't look like there's much mud in there, but it only takes a small amount to make your antifreeze boil
