[V8] Warm V8 fuzzies...

[D Morralee]

great note Brian
 
There are very few times people will come up to you and say wow now that is a Nice V8 ... I had a German guy come up to me one time and we hung out for a while he looked at the car. (I was at a car show) 
98 percent of the time people just walk on by, but the some people do stop and chat. Anyone else have good experiences?
