And you immediately baby it home and go through everything and check things like boost levels and tuning, slowly. Doing something crooked like crimping off rear brake lines is totally different, but a lot of that stuff (bald tires, etc.) should be pretty obvious when looking at a car. Welcome to the world of cheap ass junk!

Exactly why I hae driven my car 7,000 miles in 2.5 years of owning it haha
