[QUOTE="Ferendon, post: 3691439, member: 578259"] The Bush that was our Governor was a different Bush. I don't mean a different physical being, just a different 'mental' person. Now, he's just mental. Ask anyone and Texas, and they will tell you that Bush and Billy Bob Thorton don't deserve to be Texans. They're both idiots. Bush, for obvious reason, Billy Bob, due to the fact that he left Angelina, citing as one of the reason, the 'sex was too rough'. He's too weak sauce to be a Texan. Props on the hick tank. And the only person I trust to work on my car these days, other than family, is a guy by the e-name of TexanTony, who owns North Texas Performance. He was a mechanic for Delta for over 10 years, until they shut down his plant. Also, keep in mind that airplane engines, and car engines are on two different levels.
