Does she realize how expensive these things are to repair???

Sean may be able to shed some light on them...his father owns both a 2002 and a 2003.
I know, but all vehicles are expensive to repair.. Why should they be any different??

Hey Sean, I will give you $3K for the 2003... When can I pick it up??

It does help a little on the economy provided I dont get into the pedal too much if the performance tune is installed. If I install th eeconomy tune I can run the 87 octane and get goor mileage but I always want more power.
