I mis-read it Lee. I thought it said they were the only ones available with a 2bbl.

And I've already had 3 cups of coffee too.............

Not enough caffeine I guess. I flubbed the Suduko puzzle in the paper this morning too, which I use to get the brain cells working..........

Hmm. I didn't think having sex by yourself was that remarkable.

They certainly have my attention!

I have posted a number of photos like this one. This "issue" seems to happen to "rubber band" tires. Does anyone know how or why this happens?

It's the result of a band separation.

I have to believe that the low profile tires have less sidewall to cushion an impact, like a pothole, making them more susceptible.

Thanks for that clarification. What I was getting at was that the 396 was available as a 2V for passenger cars while both the 427 + 454 2V were truck engines.
