Great and I want to ask you Dave what what was the first thing that popped that pops in your head if I say 454?

Well there's there was a motor right? Oh no a transmission that was a 454 right? Well no you had it

right the first. Okay. So I remember this because especially back in high school I know a

lot of gearheads and a 454 otherwise 7.4 liters, which is massive. That's massive. It was a engine that a and I think

450 was another size that I remember. I think this was a GM big block engine here for a four cubic inches and yeah the cars typically

went zoom zoom fast yeah and just drinking gasoline like like there was no tomorrow.

Oh, yeah, 7.4 liters.

I remember I had a 400, I think it was a cordoba,

and I think it got like 12 miles per gallon.

But it was a big engine and eventually it got up to...

Hey, but that car saved our butts.

This podcast might not exist today if it weren't for your Cordoba, you know.

Ah, yes, the quick story is that you and I, basically someone had had an accident and was blocking
