Welcome to Genvibe! They are tough little beasts and protect their passengers very well, however like any car they do have some "issues". So tell us more about the car? Miles, Options and etc.

Welcome Captain! I hope to one day find myself in the glorious job of engineering, aerospace or mechanical (or if aerospace is a form of mechanical. I sincerely do not know). Enjoy your stay, and bring those pics! We do love seeing them!
