at one point i drove my altima with no radiator fluid, no oil, old ass 5k oil at that, 1 cv axle boot ripped, the other one was 100% gone, no power steering fluid and the battery was only halfway connected. Oh and had a front flat tire and i dont think i changed the air filter since i got the car.
Drove to redline and drove it to ft myers, got back, finally got paid and fixed everything at once, it still runs great to this day, and i fixed everything a year ago.
I redline this bitch daily at least once. KA motors are rock solid.
