[V8] 2 days/1300 miles in the newest 4.2 5spd V8

[Michael Larosa Jr]

speaking of the "Hemi".  my truck was in for service, so they gave me a 
rental.  A new hemi pickup, first time I hit that thing to pass somebody
it took off like a rocket :)  I was doing 65 when I pulled out to pass 
the semi, by the time I was by it and pulling back in, I was at 90, 
woops...

like driving my old 70 monte carlo SS,  woohoo :)

unfortuntely the power was the only thing I liked it about :( my f250
has a smnoother ride, quiter and more comfortable..  BUT IT WAS STILL
FUN to whack the gas on that thing :)  hehehe..
