Stop making sense with your data and facts!

Unless this comes with a 6.4L V8 and 6spd manual transmission, it is stupid. If that combo is an option,, great googly moogly, slap a pro-charger on that beast and go through a set of tires a week....

This... a million times this.... 4K would buy a perfectly reasonable Honda

If you never got to build anything you designed in school, your school sucks.

I’m sorry, is your hypothesis that a fuel and oil change is the root cause of the rumored vibration problems they are having? Really?

I’m not sure what kids these days, but if this is the response to “pics or it didn’t happen” I’d say, “oh snap!” that is a spectacular garage
