Were are my v8 brothers

454-TA

come out, come out where ever you are...I know you are all hiding in here somewhere..:cool: .camarobill told me so.....

kneel wit me brothers and say the prayer.






The Trans Am is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
It maketh me burnout on black pavements;
It leadeth me beside busy freeways;
It restoreth my soul;
It leads me in the path of quickness for its names sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of rice, I shall fear no turbo, for Torque art with me;
Thy rod and thy piston they comfort me.
Thou preparest a Track for me
in the presence of my enemies;
Thou hast anointed my bearings with oil;
My car overpowers.
Surely traction and victory shall follow me,
All the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in the house of the V8, Forever.


can I get an amen brother's..........
