my car is sooooooooooooooo powerful! today on a desolate stretch of country road as straight as an arrow i came to a stop sign. with not a soul in site, i stomped on the gas. the svt launched in a pavement tearing display the likes of which not many have ever seen or lived to tell about. the torque of the mighty 2.5L was soooooooooooooo great that it ripped a bolt from one of the exhaust manifold flanges! not only did it tear the bolt as if it were wet paper, it also blew out the side of the flange! i then limped her home, loud as hectors contour, and swapped in a new bolt. 
nobody has ever had the power to do that!

why do you have to quote what mikey said when you were the next to post and why only add a smiley.... I guess if you are going for the most useless post record, you would do something like that "hec-notour"... hehe. Nice job on that mike! soo much power, must be hard to control a beast like that!

So YOU'RE the one who took it 
It was Mikey, in the garage, with the oven mitt.....do i win, or aren't we playing Clue???
I would honestly find it funny to get a ransom note for my ratchet, like magazine letters glued to a page with a polaroid of my ratchet like tied to a chair or something....i need to go to bed
