LMAO

i was lucky enough to work for a guy who fitted a lot of those statements perfectly, only it was ski boats not cars.

the last boat i saw before i quit had a twin turbo 502ci keith black that was said to have more than 1800hp. the guy was a bit of a maniac behind the wheel (car or boat) but damn it was cool working with stuff like that hanging around.
