@Angry_Panda i bought a 1990 cadillac seville from a man in nebraska. nice car, shitty motor. i love missouri too much to ever leave ;p.
i miss that sideways v8. you had to reach between the motor and the firewall to get at the spark plugs. hellish endeavour.
Being from Iowa, I love to crack jokes about Missouri, but it is a beautiful state full of (mostly) good folks... except for St. Louis. As for GM's engine design during the malaise era, the less said, the better - they had some howlers (Olds 350 diesel, anyone?).
