Unfortunately our class isn't what it was in the 60's and 70's. There are 40 and 50 K engines in stockers now that run A through E. You had some expensive rides back in the day. You should be able to relate

Todd, those 40k-50k engines I hate to tell you are not stock, far from it you and everyone else knows it. Just cant bring yourself to admit it.
