I guess I can understand why a tired horse will still speed up as it nears home.

Time for the insanity to start; July 2 is the deadline, and I'm prepping my S-10 for the Cruise-In, not only this RX-7.
The new control arm and ball joint for the s-10 both arrived, the SM465 is here, the new clutch is ordered, I have just barely enough in the bank to cover a new flywheel for the '01 GM 4.8L V8. It's called an LR4, so damn Land Rover to hell for stealing that designation. Land Rovers suck, they'll never begin to approach a genuine Jeep. Not in any way. Can you say Hellcat Hemi SRT? over 700 HP right off the stealership's showroom floor!
