[V8] brake bomb

[Bryan Kamerer]

Ok, I will look there.

Despite having one of these since, I think, 97, I have done damn little to
it.  Really nothing besides maintenance and then those damn crank sensors
last summer.  I had a timing belt fail (despite having been done on
schedule; it let go about 30k later) and I had my head rebuilt and a lot of
maintenance done then. That cost me a ton but bought me several years of
extra non-issues.  Now I need to fix a PS leak, the bomb, and a funky DS on
the LF.  Got my garage all set up now and I'm going to get it inside and up
on jacks and get to work in a few weeks.  Get it all tweaked back to
excellent shape.

I occasionally get behind the wheel of much more current cars, different
sport and luxury makes.  Nothing makes me want to pay the difference to
upgrade from my factory 91 5-speed.  Still love it, after all these years.
 Besides and SUV to tow my horse and my standard motorcycles I ride in good
weather, I can't see replacing this thing for another 100,000 miles (which
is about 20 years in my daily usage).
