    Yeah, the YouTube post was pretty stupid if you are going to blame it on theft or deer...

    Somebody here was putting a V10 Viper engine in a Comet/Maverick. I haven't seen any posts on that lately-he was getting pretty far along based on the last pics that I saw.

    littleredtoy -If you remember who's doin' the V-10 viper swap, can you ask him to do a good write-up. I might have a line on drivetrain :D

    What I noticed makes me hope I never roll. Course, I have a quad cab. My truck is also used as a truck and the bed is full of equipment. It will be a huge mess if it ever rolls.

    I use to work at a local race track, and a guy entered his car in the 'fan participation' night. Well as you can guess, he crashed! From there the story went on to find out that he called his insurance company to file a claim. It was rejected being that the insurance guy was at the track the night he wrecked!!!
