Not a rant at all. And with wikipedia any person with electricity in
their trailer can go in and edit stuff. I put this in my uhm, rant if you
noticed "I don't have time to straighten it out, best leave that
to > VAM 'experts' of which I am not one" so hopefully someone who
actually > cares....and knows.....about the VAM cars can 'go straighten
it out'. Not > that it would matter. Some Ford guy will step in and
quickly point out > that 'the AMC 390 is really a Ford 390 because
their friend had one'. Eh, > or they read it on wikipedia or on back of
Hot Wheels box I guess. Eddie Stakes 713.464.8825 eddiestakes@planethoustonamx.comwww.planethoustonamx.com
