That 455... What a wonderful motor.

a third-generation Firebird (the coolest Firebird—fight me)

“It’s powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine cranking out an unfathomable 800 horsepower.”

That was Barrett-Jackson, not Mecum.

Looks like Mecum got caught not doing their homework again...   Just like the JFK hearse.  

I don’t follow NASCAR but I have never seen a Jr story where he does not come across as awesome. Always seems thoughtful.

I think I might hold off on taking my ‘12 Impreza in for this one.  Incidentally, the nearest Subaru dealer to me is running radio ads trying to hire mechanics. I imagine they're pretty busy.

Worst. Recall. Fix. Ever.
