Want to go fast, Buy Sterling.

Want to float around with your engine hatches open and twice as lite in the wallet.... well, you know.

Lots of conjecture and flat out wrong information in this thread. Actually sorta humorous.

for us who don,t know what [blowing up]means can you explain,are they exploding like a bomb?blowing up is a generalized statement.what exactly is happening to the engines?burnt pistons,spinning bearings,blowing head gaskets.it would be nice to hear facts instead of rumor.

Maybe blowing up is the wrong word, I'll be more political, make my statement general and change it to "having tons of issues."
