Damn it if I didn't have mine I would've bought his and done a Sync 3 upgrade - oh well! 🤣

That's a damn sweet FiST. Sad we have no info on the timing belt condition since it's a 2015. But thank goodness it's back on the road and the engine wasn't cooked.

I am watching this now. Damn that car is crusty underneath. Looks like it hung out with the Titanic.

You're just not used to seeing the undersides of rides from north of the Mason-Dixon line.
As he said, it would look even more rotted than it does if a daily driver from the upper Midwest, upstate N.Y. or points north of that.

Who's car was this before LSC got it?

Only got through like 20 minutes of it at elevated speeds. Good portion of it are ads. Hackery-mods and "fixes"... gotta love'em. Just include the price of a service manual with the cost of purchase on a vehicle. Saves a lot of time and effort when you can walk into something knowing how to restore it to stock. The prior owner is probably on their fourth or eight car by now...

Indeed. That kind of stuff is scary. HAHA.

I do wonder though, how much of that could be avoided if you could wash the underside of the car somewhat frequently.

It would help, especially if one had the chance to heavily, even excessively Fluid Film, undercoat, or whatever the whole underside after said washing.

But especially this winter season so far, the effing car murdering salt soup has been cruelly relentless.
The various state and local DOTs throw down millions of tons of salt and brine, even when it does not warrant it even for the lowest tire 'common denominators'.

Then it stays dry and well sub-freezing until the next big snow/ice dump, so there is no rain to wash all of that shit away, but the sun and some near freezing rises in temps melts the piles of snow/ice into runoff, which then activates the caked on salt to do it's unibody/subframe/suspension obliterating stuff when unavoidably driving through it (it usually runs totally across the roads at that point).

IF I could afford it, or had a place to park it without being towed, I would consider a total winter beater to try and save this car, even more so if I could keep it in an enclosed garage.
