I also go to YouTube for all my important life decisions. Those influencers really make decision making easy, takes all the work out of important research out of my hands and into theirs.

I’m leaning V8 personally. Thoughts?

If you are in a real legitimate quandary about what engine to choose;
then get small pictures of each engine, pin them on a wall all close together, blindfold yourself, then spin yourself around a few times until dizzy then throw a dart at that wall.

Tip, might want to have someone point you in the general direction of said wall of engine pictures.

Besides talking to people who owned them, test driving a few, kellK blue book,. CarGurus, and going to forums like these. Yes..it influenced my thinking. Maybe I should have underlined INFLUENCED.
You are a D-bag..
