Yeah, but if your engine broke, you needed major bucks in the bank and
mechanics with multiple elbows to get into tight places. If his engine

I still drive it and it really gets amazing attention. Which is pretty
funny since when it came out, there was nothing like it. Now, there are
Ferraris and Lamborghinis that are all over the place and look so exotic
themselves. (Yeah, I know, I live in a place where "reality" is all upside
down and backwards).
