It's a beast! The most jawdropping monstrosity of a vehicle I've ever laid eyes on. It's a trip to see it start up and blow steam out of the engine (if you can call it that...it looks more like a water cooler in the engine compartment). I got a taste of that trip this afternoon when I left work, jumped in my '95 Mustang and hit the road. About 1/2 way home steam started to pour outta the dash vents, hot coolant was drippin' on my feet and my temp gauge began a quick ascent into the "OH SHIT" zone. Needless to say my heater coil just ate its lunch. What a great way to start week.
