let me be the first to say your boy is a retard, it doesnt matter WHEN you hear the problerm so much as WHEN the problem happens.. you can spin a bearing....or in his case blow a seal...it doesnt matter when you HEAR IT...or when it happens... its just when you notice it...and the whole "ohh its a sports car BS" yeah thats just idiotic.... ferrari is a sports car yes? how many of them come factory with some sort of an audio system? well i guess 99%
i guess what im saying is: either take it out or leave it in, and dont bitch about it either way
