Get real, DSM isn't that great and nobody cares if you picked up your 5th one yesterday. Fist yourself.

Race them on the weekend and they Don't Start Monday 
J/K man, yea, they do have some reliability issues, but I had a 90 AWD TSi and I liked it alot. It was a fun car. I never had any real problems with it but I didn't beat on it that much and never messed with the stock boost level either. I don't think they are any more unreliable than your average HMT'd Honda, they just have different weak points.

A car is only as reliable as the person that works on it. DSM's get bad reps' from shitbags who think they can turn wrenches. I don't take lightly to people insulting my cars and work.
I'll get some pictures up when I'm home off work.
