Carfax: Belgium -> VA -> ALASKA! -> New Mexico(totaled) -> Florissant, MO (fixed and auctioned) -> Boonville, MO

Work need:
O2 sensor is bad 18~20 mpg sucks (>_<)
CVVT or Cam sensor is bad (current project)
A/C Condenser need replaced
Top Motor mount rubber is gone! (clunk clunk)
Dent in door needs fixed
