    Yeah, I had one in a 65 Ranchero. It had about 2 billion miles on it! Mine never died, but it ended up looking just like in your picture! The cops told me To fix it or get it off the road! I wish I had that old Ranchero now! I traded it for a pump shotgun. :)

    Well the important thing is you have learned a lesson from the ticket you got for reckless driving. :D

    So many folks have been switching to V8s that there should be a ton of good 200s you could get. That would be the easiest, cheapest, and fastest way to get back on the road again! :)

    I think people were under the impression, including myself, that you were doing smokey burnouts in the school parking lot and blew up your motor.
