I thought about OHC vs OHV in the shower: Jeeps are the vehicle that won the war, right? The V stands for Victory! C is for Compact

Looks like it was signed by the workers at the engine plant.

Nice, that's a great pic.

Also confirms my 'factory rust' theory. Look at the exhaust manifold! lol

I use the TB as an ash tray.

The old lady is getting a case of the a$$ because when I empty the ash tray I just flick the throttle lever and the ashes and butts go into the intake manifold, and sometimes the butts smolder and smoke comes out the exhaust.

I can't figure out why she's pi$$ed.
