The Last GM Big-Block V-8 Rolls Off the Line
DesScorp writes "It's the end of an era in auto technology, as the very last big block V-8 engine from GM has rolled off the production line. The L18 engine was the last variant of an engine that had been in continuous production for over 50 years. The big blocks powered everything from the classic muscle cars of the '60s and '70s to heavy-duty trucks today. From the Buffalo News: 'When GM said last June the L18 would be eliminated by year's end, the announcement triggered another show of devotion to the product. Some customers ordered two years' worth of L18s, to put on the shelf for future use.' More than 5 million big blocks have been produced over the engine's history. The final big block engine to come off the line in Tonawanda, NY is headed for the GM Heritage Center in Sterling Heights, MI."
Yeah, it's all great until you kill someone in an effort to lengthen your pathetically small penis. Oh, and the DEC VAX is a supermini - not a mainframe (the PDP-10 was the mainframe).
OK, link swap (the corvette is the the one that looks like it is standing still)
You can't pwn somebody posting AC asshole.
Oh, right, because almost everybody likes to work on their own car.
Yet today, we still need a club to beat the farts out of the liberal hippy who thinks that because his 35HP hybrid pregnant-rollerskate is good enough for him, it's good enough for everyone else too.
