Thumbs down Silvia from hell

So I made the 400 mile drive to Richmond to get my s13 and what a disaster! The first start we had you hit the gas and it would almost stall it out so we adjusted it soon to realize that the company didnt hook up the power steering (so much fun!!) after that we started driving around 3500 rpm and 21-23% throttle the car all of a sudden started running really really lean so had to work around that then (the best part) 145 miles into the trip home a violent vibration in the rear end starts n starts smoking atleast 1 of the rear bearings went on the car so I got to tow my 240 from Stratton WVA, to Buffalo Ny around 350 miles at 2.25/mile so talk about a bad taste in your mouth..... $7,700 worth of parts and labour and what do you get 24 hours of no sleep, a $500 tow bill, and $210 worth of parts......
