[V8] "Major Surging"

[BBlake1055 at aol.com]

She's pretty easy going.  My newest car is the V8 92' the others are a 84' 911 Targa with 58k and a 89' Corvette with 42K.  She wasn't too thrilled with the Ultra Classic I came home with for "Bike Week" in Daytona but once she rode it she was OK with it.  I guess I'll have to keep her around!!!!
