I had one of those way back when. It moved out right smartly and would go about 125 on the freeway, not that I ever did anything like that. ;-)

You’re gonna want to trim the brush in the engine compartment back before you sell that one. A little primer, a new pine-tree deodorizer, you’re good to go.

Maybe that explains the sudden ‘explosion of life’ and the sudden mass extinctions........................
