Angry To the guy who owned my STI before me

My black 2004 STi - I bought it from Oaktree Mazda in San Jose.
All I can say is
UP YOURS

Every time I dig into the car I find more of your crappy 3rd rate work. Missing connectors, ovaled holes. Nothing major, but stuff that you just never bothered to do right and now I have to correct.
You suck and I hate you and you just ruined another one of my mornings.

I hope you didn't go any further in modding this car than what I have found.

I hope whatever car you bought since you dropped a bolt into the air intake.

<rage over the second ripped inner fenderwell off>

thats why you risk buying a used car... should of had someone inspect it before you bought it?

Yea, if you're buying it used there is a high chance someone was messing with the stuff in the first place. Or a high chance it wasn't done good. =P

I have some of the same issues but mine are mainly from an xm radio install and other retarded electrical work you have to take apart to see.

The risk of buying a used car. That's life. I don't think it's the PO's fault.

impossible...

unless hey disconnect the wiring. or you were in japan as the vehicle rolled off the factory floor...

it takes more than a mile from the factory to get from the shpping depot to the ship... then more once the car drives off the ship to the customs holding area.

i picked mine up with 8 miles on the odo on june 03... and that's with the PDI by the dealer.

all dealers are required to put a minimum of 4 miles on the car during pdi(pre-delivery inspection) so its impossible to get a sti with under 1 mile.

I'm pretty sure trax didn't mean 1 mile he was just exaggerating his point, that he would only buy a new sti
