Thanks for volunteering, Ken!

When do you think you'll have it ready? Can't wait to see it-- one touch on the gas and the front wheels will be waving in the breeze. Remember the red flag to hang on the rear pulley-- DMV requirement for anything that sticks out more than 24" past the rearmost part of the bus body.

Nope, the V6anagon has plenty enough power for me, as I've said a few times in the past (actually a lot of times). I only wish the whole drivetrain were reliable (are you listening, clutch?).

BTW, I've gotten more incredulous response for that little tagline at the end of the post about Chev 2.8L vibrations, than for the entire rest of the post. Keep those cards and letters coming, sports fans... ;)
