ive DD mine for 2+ yrs.. besides normal maintenance, these cars are just like any other car. if you beat on it.. expect shit to break. and thats what ppl do to these cars... beat on it and not take care of it. i woudlnt trade mine for anything.. the looks i get, even with mine having rust and paint that is shitty i still get the " hey man is that a starion? wow.. i havnt seen one of those since Highschool." and that makes it worth it! not to mention the GOBBBBS of tq it makes!
