I was not referring to driveline/suspensionā€¦the only things that matter on a vehicle to youā€¦but more the overall look of the car maintaining its original name plate. So before you come up with some more witty internet copy and past factsā€¦please try to wrap you driver oriented brain around the intention of this thread. But I suppose if you have nothing else to do this winter then copy and paste facts to prove you have more time on your hands then the rest of the boardā€¦carry on. ---
