i should have made one big post.. but that statement is correct. i had mine shipped to me from chicago to little rock, arkansas and it had a bad battery, the brakes were bad, the stock boost control solenoid was shot, the brake lights were done, the cd player wouldnt take a cd. and a few other little problems. the dealership said they were gonna reimburse me 200 for the battery but that never happend. be careful on what you get and see if you have anybody on this site local to you before you pick it up. they could help you look at it.

he's 16...cut the kid a break, who here can honestly say that they had everything figured out at 16?

you only get wise from making mistakes...I've met people who joined up, served their tour and got out with no issues, qualms, gripes or complaints. It just wasn't for them.
