[V8] Just drove the V8 for the first time in 3 years.

It still makes all kinds of funky noises, but I know a lot of it is coming
from a bad CV joint on the front right as well as bad shocks and shock
mounts. I think once those are taken care of I'll be able to figure out
what any remaining noises might be. One of the ones that concerns me the
most is a rhythmic scuffing noise that I can hear coming from the front
right. It changes speed depending on the speed of the car, but putting the
car in neutral doesn't change it (so it's not related to the engine or
tranny), and applying the brakes doesn't change it (tested by holding the
gas at the same time as the brake to keep the car at a constant velocity).

The BRAKE light is also still on, but it might be related to the broken
front left ABS sensor that I discovered the other day. The brakes seem to
function very well. I did a hard brake test from 60 and it stopped quickly,
smoothly, and evenly with no pulling or strange shuddering (actually I was
kind of expecting more shuddering from the ABS system, but it might not be
working with one of the sensors broken or it might be off, but I can't tell
because the button likely doesn't work properly).

Other than that it ran pretty well. Plenty of power, smooth acceleration,
etc.
