John Hofstetter a.k.a. Ol'Saline, who's been a lot of places none of us is
allowed to go anymore and that's a real tragedy, and who to quote the
senator from Texas, "has more guns than he needs but not as many as he
wants"

slip in front, 4" Trailmaster lift kit, Holley Electronic Fuel Injection,

"It's a legend", but it's too darn long and too darn wide sometimes to go
where I ask it to go.
