<VV> New slogan - caution!

[n5hsr]

Hmm, I knew I'd seen 2.9 somewhere before.

The original Model T back in 1908 was 2.9 liters (177 ci), 4 cylinder, and 
only produced 20 hp.  I've seen lawn mower engines that produce that much 
these days.

Of course our Corvair (62, 145ci 80 hp) produced almost as much as Dad's 52 
Chevy (216 ci, 92 hp.)
