    I'm sure that was in English but all I understood was this:

    "Cars have 4 bolt mains because they're strong. Some Fords have Y's because ..." yep, there you have it. There's a reason I have board members work on my vehicles instead of me.

    Which is a good thing, yes? (knows nothing about vehicles other than I like them.)

The best answer I can remember was a guy that told me that 4-bolt mains make the rods extend longer so that it makes it like a stroker.

    Some people really do need to learn when to shut up.

    HAHA!!

    The ole 350 with pop ups, heard that one a few times.

    Back in the early 90's had guy say that he would race me on the street but couldn't cause his supercharger wasn't charged up.

    I love my stepfather. He is the one who raised me, taught me about cars, forced me to learn some hard lessons about automobiles and got me into my first Mustang. He had a 280Z, full roll cage, tubbed rear, 350sbc etc back in the 80's before it was cool. BUT, I cannot talk to him about my Cobra. I have passed him so far in what I know now and what he used to know and knows now. He just doesn't get it or understand why I have done some of the things I have done. Is he stupid? No. He just doesn't know what he doesn't know.

    I was told yesterday that the Caddy CTS-v has a V-12, which is why they call it a V. When I asked about v6, 8, 10, I was told it 12 to compete with the Aston Martin. Right...
