Semi OT: Car confusion

[rocco_crossing at hotmail.com (Rhett Farnum)]

Actually, as I read your second email Eric I turned 21. Of course the real 
time isn't untill 10:30am but its still the day!!

The olds actually has way more balls than most think.(thanks to the 3300 V6) 
I do love having it! If I was a straight line guy I would be all about it! A 
few more mods or a 3800 SC swap and it would be the Ultimate sleeper. But it 
still wouldn't go arounda  corner worth a crap.


Peace Out,
Rhett
