Only if you get a really bad deal on the interest rate. I have a 1.5% rate on a four year loan, and the total interest is $817. That would go up for a five year note, but not by a whole lot, and certainly not to the level of replacing an engine.

Same here. That thing is ugly. I was interested at first when I saw gas mileage mentioned, but that instantly became a "nope" when I saw that pic.

I finally swapped out my stock rims and tires for a set of 18x9.5 RPF1s in SBC ("Special Bullshit Coating") and Michelin PSS tires and immediately saw my fuel efficiency drop a little more than 5 mpg. Not only do they suck gas, but I really kinda hate those rims now that they're on the car. I should sell them.
