Is that true? 2018? I guess I missed that. Why in God's name would someone do an engine swap on a sub-one year old car? Totaled?

Same reason anyone modifies any car. I modified and 2zr swapped my yaris that has a book value of $4-5 grand. Anyone could say that is silly as well.

Most of us did it for the challenge plus the extra performance and originality. It's a low cost car so it frees up some extra cash to do things like that
