I have avoided comments on passerelles. They look like an event waiting to happen. Others (rarely spotted) look some what safe but I'm not...
Remember that first V-8 Chevy you got when you were young? 2 barrel carb, maybe 140 HP, ran great and if you cared (cheap fuel) good MPG. Then...
I am a Detroit guy. However, I never suggest strung out 92s. Not a lot of them around but the 3408 is just a little better than the 92s. Something...
