You know hearing stories about the kids who have there rich parents buy them cars reminds me of one. A freind just came over after fabricating a ram-air intake for his 92' Tarus. Well he wanted me to come see if there was any difference, well as were driving through town we see this kid whos parents just bought him a Golf off of Epay (20's, body kit, the whole rice works). Well we pull up next to him at a stop light and rev to him, he revs back, just then the light turns green and were off, he pulls up next to us and hes just about to start pullin away but just then pop boom bang engine blows. I nearly pissed my pants laufing so hard when I heard it go off.

I dunno, i've been burned twice on the trader so far, and nothing bad has ever happened on ebay to me yet. Maybe i shouldn't push the trader so much then.....

i dunno, i only use ebay, and everything i get off there has never given me a problem, u just gotta be carefull what your buyin, dont think i would actually BUY a car off ebay, cant test drive it, no warrenty, and its usually in another state, it doesnt seem to be worth the risk.......... imo anyway.........

i almost did, then i was like nah, ill just go to a dealer, they might rape me on price, but i get a really good warrenty on it, course then i put on my intake, even called to ask if it would void the warrenty, they said no, so i put it on, blew my engine, and then of course it voided it............. ****in stealerships...........

thats why you keep the stock one.. that way when **** happens you can put it back on and tow it in! lol, I did that with my hotshot headers on my specV.. voids the warrenty, but I can have it off and the other back on in about 2 hours
