The only thing I could find wrong with it? It is missing 2 cylinders :D

Pretty sure that the front fogging up is a bit of an issue with all the VEs. Mine fogs on the outside though... Might have something to do with the a/c set on arctic 100% of the time! Lol

Not going to comment on the cylinder deficiency... I'm biased!
