I thought the motor was effed up when an oil change was performed and someone forgot to add oil and cranked it? That's what they told me. I hope they've removed your vehicle from their websites home page.

I had a slight run in with them, but for their sake they fixed my problem.

WOW, just wow. The reason the engine failed was due to rod bearings (which I have now been told by a different source I should've changed at 100k specifically on the 4.6, mine had 107k on it). The engine had full oil in it. I can't go into more detail on a public forum. It's appalling.

Nice! Exhaust is a little raspy but still sounds awesome. This is the first and only facelift where I think the 87s look good on. One of the only other wheels that I think would look good are these or a similar style:
