Warranty...

I've already collected a bunch of parts to bolt in after the warranty
expires - supercharger, exhaust, high-flow cat, and some others.  The
goal is a stock-looking toy that'll tear like a total custom.

this touring edition, as well as had several changes made to the engine
block and heads.  I may be ordering a GT Cruiser this fall, we'll see...
