Apparently this woman driving had a blind spot (on the drivers side) the size of an 18 wheeler cause thats what she merged right into. Her car spun into the wall (on a bridge) being pushed sideways by the semi. The semi did her the favor of removing and disassembling the 3800 for her so the wrecker service wouldnt have to go through the trouble... courteous semi, huh?
Do me a favor fellas, KNOW your engine has guts, but dont let anyone ever have to see them :P

I had all two of my gauges pegged to the right on the Florida Turnpike last month. For a short(very short) time my Speedo was at the max @ 85mph and my gas read "F". It doesn't get any better than that.
