15:38 Randy, 2GR-FE is the engine code/name for the current 3.5 V6 engine that powers a lot of Toyotas and Lexus'. The GR engine comes in many versions. The 2 versions that we get in the states are the 1GR (4.0 V6 for the Toyota trucks) and the 2GR (3.5 V6 that came out in 2005 for the Avalon and after that, Toyota just put it in a lot of cars, crossovers and minivans). Its a damn good motor. It is timing chain driven. I have that motor in my 2018 Lexus ES350 that I just bought not too long ago. The V6 that Toyota used before the GR was the MZ. The MZ was a 3.0 V6 timing belt driven motor that came out in 1993 in the Camry XLE V6 and lasted all the way until 2008 in the Solara.

That Subaru WRX might be a good little car to obtain. The engine in that vehicle is known at the FA20, it is a 2.0L Turbocharged H4, and it actually known to much more reliable than the 2.5L in the STI model WRX you drove in the past, which were known to blow head gaskets. I used to own a 2015 Subaru WRX (same generation as the one you showed) and drove the crap outta of it with launches and heavy track use, and I never had a single issue besides having to replace the clutch. The only time they have issues is when people mod the crap out of them and push too much power than you can either throw a rod bearing or bend the connecting rods, that's only when you push over 350HP though. With that one only having an intake, exhaust, and I'm assuming a stage 1 tune, it should be perfectly fine, I'd say. And they actually do get pretty descent fuel mileage up to 27-29 MPG on the highway and 21-23 in the city. I usually averaged about 22 in mine in the city with a heavy foot. The STI model is the one known for very horrible MPG, though. I'd keep keeping an eye on it as it is a pretty decent, reliable, quick little fun to drive vehicle that's holds its values well, even today! Oh and for the transmission feel you mentioned in the testdrive, the regular WRX uses a cable actuated transmission for shifting gears, while the STI uses a hydraulic system, which is why the transmission felt different to you.

I currently own a 15 WRX since new and it has 53k. It has been extremely reliable and maintenance free. It has needed a battery, rear brakes and just changed the serpentine belt. They are in high demand as there are very few 6sp manuals around. Don’t listen to people who are computer jockeys or who destroy these cars. They are made for spirited driving, not racing or heavy mods.

Hey Randy! GSS stands for the General Services Administration. They are the property holder for most of the federal government. Those police SUVs would have come from an agency in your area. They agency would drive Silver vehicles. You have to check with your state as most won’t allow you to turn on the any of the emergency equipment on a public road. But they usually try to sell them to smaller agencies/departments first

One of the nice things about living in Idaho is the relaxed laws on owning a fully function Police, ambulance, firetruck. They do prefer you put covers over lights (not required) and you can't go around claiming you are part of (insert name of police department.) on vehicle. Most people as a courtesy will remove the top lights and put things like Not The in front of the word police and such. If not just remove or paint over all of that anyway. Personal fave is when they leave the emergency call 911 on the trunk. I'm always on the look out (for a good price in my area) a nice Chevy detective car that has the police package but original back seat and hidden lights. So I don't have to replace much except for the lenses to say amber or now some other color llke green and I have to disable the flashing head lights.

I'm a Subaru tech and just want to say those FA20F engines are great. Unlike the EJ257 that's in the STI. The STI needs a 6 pack of engines. But a regular 2.0L WRX doesn't need more than 1 engine. Unless the owner did something wrong. I see plenty of these FA20's come in with 150k miles and still running just fine. Meanwhile i see STI's come in at 30-60k miles with spun rod bearings.

Just a few small mods, like a AOS and maybe a Cyl 4 cooling mod can always actually help!! These things shift tightly and ride like they are on rails!!! Fun to drive!!

I don't know if it will be good content but I think you might have fun. (And take off the frod emblems.) The Chevy with the unique color, I liked that color too even before I saw the Chevy emblem. The Lexus V6 was very nice. I liked the exterior interior color combination. And it did sound very nice. I hope You get it. The soup-a-woo was nice too. But it kind of looked like a frod focus from the front. On that black dodge truck.... Did you mean to say 2.7? Cause the engine looked small. You kept referring to it as a 4.7.
