[V8] Signing off...for good.

[Ron Wainwright]

WOW..... in a sense I suppose it is a good thing since a car of that stature should be driven religiously. 

 I went through the same thing a few years ago when I sold my Pearl beast. I drove the car from Mass to Minnesota & while gathering my stuff up to get into the hotel I seen & heard the guy leave with the Stebro roaring in the distance. I felt like I wanted to chase the guy down & reneg on the deal. But I new that I wouldn't be driveing it much with the new purchase... the 91 V8 5sp waiting for me in Detroit.

Good luck with everything Bill!

 Ron Mit 4.2 beast with busted d-side fender :-(
