And this is why we can't have nice things.

See attached photos.

You mean my 2017 Chevy Spark? Hell no, lol. What's the point? It's fun to drive, though, since it's a 5-speed manual.

An engine will run with those compression levels, but it's pretty tired. What is good is that the compression is relatively even and barely makes the within-10-percent deifference rule, so that's a...
