I had an AS400 in my office and a IBM Catia that I networked to the CAD lab and the machine shop. We had a demo at the school, a dog and pony show we made up. That was about as far as I got and wanted to go too lol. Didn't know squat about either one so it took us awhile to figure it out.
LS takes it up a notch is what I hear. I've never messed with one but they are a sweet motor.

I had an LS1 in my 1999 Z28 and an LS3 in my 2009 Corvette, both not stock. For their era, those were some awesome engines and they powered me to many 1/8 and 1/4 mile wins at the local dragstrips.
That give away Vette on Cleetus's site is going to be bad fast.
Definitely a bonus point for LS (luxury Sedan) Caprice BroughamLucky Strike. Means Fine Tobacco.
Seriously, it's a Chevy trim line.
The company that crimped the oil lines on Cleetus's car crimped the connection too close to the end of the line and didn't get enough crimp on the line so it blew off Picture below. You can see the crimp on the left end of the black oil line. On Squirrel's car A Rett Jones crewman glued the wrong size lug nuts ( to the wheel and he lost 3 laps. Still was able to finish 12thget a top 15. After Kansas, Squirrel is of probation. Cleetus is approved to run Nashville May 30th in an O'Reilly car. They made enough on merch sales to break even.
The silver collar should have deep grooves on it from the crimping/squeezing. This looks like a new un- crimped fitting.
