Tee hee hee hee hee!

Everyone now knows that the Big Three all had spies in the car
magazines and many of the "demonstrators" were tweaked ringers. If the
majority of standard production cars had these engines they wouldnt
have been able to run on standard pump gas and would had a hell of a
lot of warranty claims on transmissions, axles and driveshafts.
