Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.

Elvis Presley

The very last time Elvis Presley drove home to Graceland, he was behind the wheel of a 1973 Stutz Blackhawk III, with, you guessed it, a V8 engine. Although Presley only lived 42 years (passing away in 1977), his success was legendary, and he remains history’s top-selling solo artist. This quote from “The King” wasn’t an offhanded quip about feeling empowered to fulfill fantasies. As a former professional truck driver, Presley knew that V8 engines, like ambition, can accelerate your journey to any destination.
