I’m not saying I don’t like my car it’s just that I’ve just read that they have some shaky reliability and I’ve experienced some few not cheap hiccups from it. She’s running fine now though. I just think they would be better cars with something else in them and these engine swaps would’ve been more interesting/a better idea with something else.
