Funny, I thought that was the Jeep, the M4, the Liberty Ship, the
LST, the Mustang and the B17.

Even when they cost more than a new car out the door and you have to
wait half a year to get one.

ooh, 100 HP Really? Is that for hill climbing with the 70 pounds of
chrome? Thats out of how many cu inches/CCs?? Making noise that
sounds like an overly flatulent bullock with a major digestive
ailment doesn't mean it really makes power. 600cc super sport bikes
make 100 horses now days. Heck, 250cc two strokes make nearly that.
As a friend says. "All that chrome don't get you home. Neither does
the fringe."
