Ha! My engine is definitely RED and not the Maroon that I see/hear about. Not
only that, but my rocker cover is GREY! I wasn't/am not so worried (hey, its
just an engine) and I am certainly not going to pull the thing out of the car
just for a paintjob... but it might be nice to have that rich, old maroon in
there. Maybe I will just have to replace the grey cover with... a CHROME
one...
oooooohhhh.
