hehe, those are pretty neat cars

the shop that built the engine for my old golf had a 4-banger nova that ran 9's

i think they had a pretty big reputation for that back in the day

i don't even know anything about the 4-banger novas... i just smiled and nodded //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
