Before they opted for the 4.3 plenty of boats had inboard 3800'* in them. The 3800 that came in that car actually, and also the car that came in the full sized version of the Grand Prix, and maybe Grand National.

same here. Although, a part of me thought it was going to be a massive car considering I used to call my dads 1992 Lincoln Town Car a boat. haha

Everyone calls my truck a tank and they ask how I can drive it. She'* an extended Trailblazer. I'm 19 now. I tell them "it'* simple...I know how to actually drive". And then they get mad. haha
