The dodo that was called V-8

“V-8s are on the way out -- again.”

(The major reason for my 2005 F-150 was that it has a small V-8, which does a much better job of going when I want it to go, than the 1999 V-6 Dodge full-size I had for nine years. Gas mileage is less than the stated 17 mpg highway average, but I am willing to pay for the getup and inside size. Four-cylinder turbosupercharged will not do the job, or V-6 for that matter.)
