Somewhat random... A few years ago my autoshop teacher fabricated up a TRAILER out of one of those engine stands/jigs that those motors are on after GM dontated a whackload of 3400'* to our high school and didn't take the stand back

It'* at John Bear Pontiac in St. Catharines.......sitting on the used car lot........it was a Factory Exec car from the US (probably from Detroit) and they're anxious to sell it!
By comparason they have a 2005 CTS with Cadillac installed custom Corsa exhaust and CTS-V badges and rims plus dealer installed CTS-V calipers with about 30000 miles on it and they are asking $42,000.
