Default All Hail the Mighty VE
I was driving home from work today, what should I see but a lovely Brand New VE SS with no plates on the side of the road, with smoke coming from under the bonnet and a perplexed driver scratching his head.

Very Impressed. Where do I sign?

Yeah I would have loved to have got some pics, but I was in thick traffic unfortunately, and without my Camera.

He might have been rubbing sticks together, to get the fire going again.

I wonder of fire extinguishers are on the options list.
Hey GT, at least you didn't have smoke.

I can imagine Denny on the phone to GM saying, "you told me you fixed the piston slap with the LS2".
