It's all good right?
My CTS-V beat the snot out of many Goliath's at the track yet could be a mild mannered 4 door sedan when getting groceries or taking the kids to school.

I love cars and trucks. All of them.
I love anything with an internal combustion engine.
I am a die hard car guy born and raised in the Motor City.

I worked as an engineer in Detroit for the "Big Three" and have a unique insight into the bowels of the beasts.
I have no brand loyalty to any. They all have their pros and cons.

BTW if you ever find your way to Colorado send me a PM. I'll be happy to give you an opportunity run a coupe laps at the track in a Mustang.

Yep you need to visit Colorado. You will not be disappointed.
Some call it "Gods Country" for good reason.
When you do, bring or rent a 4WD truck so you can see sights most never will.

Wow! I read your thread you linked to.
I am truly humbled.
When you work on trucks you don't mess around. Reminds me of musical chairs using engines.

Yes I have been following Engineer's Monster Truck Build.
So many talented builders here.

I replaced my bow tie grille emblem and prepared my junkyard rocker covers for paint today. Oh boy what an accomplishment.

You guys are inspiring me. Maybe tomorrow I'll swap engines and transmissions with my truck and car and while I'm at it make a new full box frame for the truck.

Forgot to mention, I got my windshield washers working yesterday.
Wish I could figure out what that big square button thing in the center of the steering wheel is suppose to do.

So thats why it doesn't do anything for me other than make loud noise.
Guess I need to convert it to a Red Bull button.
