    At Chrysler, the CAD designers would sometimes get away with putting their initials on parts. For instance the inside of the 2002-2006 Viper oil pan has RJ in it in 2" letters, but I won't go so far as to incriminate they guy that did it. #boss

    This in a rear wheel drive converted 1984 or 1985 Ford Tempo two-door would be something interesting. I've seen a big block Ford stuffed into one ('85 GL Coupe), but nothing modern (or 1994+ for that matter). #raptor

    Gosh, I thought you guys already saw that. Now wasn't the original "Boss" a 427? I know there was a Boss 302 that was raced in the TransAm Series (Yes, they actually raced real cars). 427 is 7 liters so this little guy has a ways to go. I am sure the designers left "punch out" room. #boss

    @Cue the Coupé Coup: Thank you, that's what I was shooting for.

    After years and years of quietly wishing for American auto manufacturing would get off its ass, I'm seeing more and more evidence of at least one company actually doing it. The past several years to me have been like Leonard-Spinks fight. We all thought we were going to see poor old Sugar Ray get his ass handed to him by the young brash challenger Leon Spinks. Well, it didn't turn out that way. Spinks had youth on his side and that was all - Sugar Ray danced around him, played bongos on his head and put him decisively away. Hell, Sugar Ray could have gone a bunch more rounds - he looked like he was actually having fun. And Spinks looked like he was getting a colonoscopy.

    Ford is Sugar Ray. The old champ has mountains of fight left in him. #boss

    I'm not a redneck, but I seriously badly want a late 80s V8 Camaro or Trans Am, especially the Pontiac.

    I'm not young wishful, careless, or insane. They're just that cool. #boss

    @SagarikaLumos: Externally, yeah, somewhat. Internally, meh. I also lived in the Chicago area. On one occasion I drove to work looking through the passenger-side window. On another occasion I got stuck on level pavement. They rock, but aren't exactly snow-friendly. #boss
