The Warriors did it!

Viper, blah, blah, blah - here’s what I wanted to see:

Preston Thomas Tucker was my idol, so much so that I wrote a thesis paper in college in which I compared the Hollywood version of his life ( The movie:

I'm more of a Ford guy, but neither Ford nor GM can hold a candle to Mopar paint options
