No problem! Yea these cars are kind of expensive right now. I think in a few years time a used one would be a pretty attractive daily driver option. Honestly, when I drive this I'm constantly reminded of the fact that it's kind of questionable value as just about everything on the car makes some rattling noise, especially the gearbox. It's just nice to have a newer engine which doesn't have weird VVT lag (cable throttles do that), gets good highway mpg, and warms up quickly and stays warm for a while, plus has a minimal history of possibly questionable servicing so I decided to just pay up.

This tank was doing okay in terms of MPG until today, when it got completely murdered while I was looking for parking in SF for...1 whole hour -_- Doing diligent engine off coasting to try and save this tank's average lol.
