[V8] Introduction!

[Brandon Hoag]

I hate you. That ad was GONE in no time. You're quick. There's a '92 V8 in
East Bethel that I looked at this past Spring. It's since gone up $1000 in
price. I wonder if he's fixed a few of the issues it had when I looked at
it. I may still be interested.

Enjoy the car!
