[Amc-list] Speed'n gas

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

My Wj logged 23.6 on level ground going 60mph also.
It's a 4.7 auto too!
Let's not tell the guvment, they'll have us driving 55 all the time again!

I've kind of put a pillar gauge pod on my want list for the WJ.
The lower gauge would be for trans temp.
The upper would be a vacuum gauge.
If I can get some of the other lists caught up I might actually do it too!
