[Shotimes] (OT) SHO replacement

[Mike Murphy]

These Hemi cars look about as heavy as one of my ex-girlfriends......rolling 
oink oinks!

I can't wait to find one to pick on.

I bet they make a nice highway ride though.....but performance....slow slow 
slow.

I wish they would have let me drive the Lotus vs. the Hemi Wagon in the 
commerical.  I don't think the Hemi would have won!

No.  Only the name is the same.  It is not based on either of the old big 
block HEMIs of the past.
