	Dylan met Travis's friend Tay, who was handy with cars and had swapped engines into cars many times. Dylan then asked Tay if he would help with an engine swap, and Tay agreed—on the condition that Dylan assist with the project and pay him $1,000, which was a very low price for a full engine swap. Travis warned Tay that Dylan would most likely not assist at all. Travis tried to convince Dylan not to proceed, as he would need to commute to Lowell in his free time just to help Tay and the car was not worth saving as the body was rusting. Dylan agreed to the deal with Tay, and despite Travis's warnings, purchased a used engine for the MazdaSpeed6.

			After the engine had arrived at Tay's house, Dylan and Lucas drove to Lowell to tow Dylan's MazdaSpeed6 from CP&T to Tay's house to begin the replacement. After Dylan assisted towing the car, he began sporadically visiting to assist with the full engine swap and in fact only went to Tay's house a singular time. Tay, not able to work on Dylan's schedule, proceeded to do the full engine swap on his own as to not permanently crowd his garage.

			On September 19th 2024 Dylan had spoken to his grandmother about purchasing a 20XX BMW X3 from his great uncle (Ong Sau). Dylan had needed a bigger car due to his rapidly growing family. He decided to listen to his grandmother and let her purchase the BMW SUV for him. After sorting out the details and pricing, he took the Commuter Rail from Connecticut all the way to Massachusetts to finalize the purchase of the BMW. After purchasing the car, his great uncle inquired about license plates. Dylan said that he didn't have any but would drive the car home anyways. His great uncle had gotten very angry at his ignorance of the law and said he could not drive the car home unless he had plates. After this outburst from his great uncle, Dylan was down $250 more dollars which continued to add to his debt. After almost a full month, Dylan had spoken to his great uncle once again who inquired about insurance and license plates. After Dylan had received a normal inquiry he proceeded to call his great uncle a "deadbeat" and that he "keeps trying to rush me when I literally have a new born, work full time and live 2hrs away."

			==== Post-Purchase ====
			After finalizing the purchase and picking up the car on October, 16th, 2024 Dylan had stated "v8 pretty fun" and that it "has blue tooth calling no bluetooth music." After owning the car for a few weeks, Dylan had begun to notice oil leaks. Knowing very little about vehicles he sought Travis' help. Travis' father had inspected the car and determined that it was "pissing oil". To Dylan's standards this was okay and he continued to drive the car while it was "pissing oil"

	The car drove fine at first, driving to eat lunch and the gas station without any issues. Issues began to immerge when Travis and Dylan began the drive home. The only request Travis made for going on the trip was to do a 60 mile per hour roll race in Dylan's [[#2011 Honda Civic Si\|Civic Si]] against Dylan's new purchase. Dylan happily obliged, eager to stretch the legs of his new car. Travis and Dylan lined it up on the highway, and Dylan's MazdaSpeed6 was gapped by Travis in the Civic Si.

	After this occurred they both ~~began their journey~~ home until suddenly Dylan turned his emergency hazard lights on and pulled over. Dylan quickly ran up to Travis and told him that the car was making a strange noise. Travis replied by telling Dylan to get off at the next exit so they could inspect the car off the highway. The two then drove more when shortly down the road right before the exit Dylan once again pulled over and shut the car off. Dylan then ran up to Travis and told him that the noise had been louder. Travis told Dylan to quickly get back to his car and they could inspect it once they were off the highway. When Dylan went to go start the car, it would not start.

	Travis and Dylan did not have jumper cables nor were they in a good position to jump the car since they were pulled over on the highway. Dylan had no choice but to have the car towed back to Everett. After calling the tow truck driver and waiting for about an hour, the truck arrived and Travis drove the two all the way back home to Everett. The MazdaSpeed6 didn't make it home easy however, as the truck driver carrying the car had a flat tire and massively delayed the delivery to a mechanic shop.

	Dylan took an interest in cars after he and [[Travis\|Travis]] reconnected after not seeing each other due to living apart. Travis was eager to share the hobby and Dylan took interest.

When he moved to Everett on or around June 6th 2021 was when the seed was planted in his mind that he needed to get a sports car because Travis had a Subaru STI.

	There are not many notable events with the Toyota Solara. Dylan drove the car until he acquired his [[#2006 Mazda MazdaSpeed6 (Red)\|MazdaSpeed6]]. The car was then given to Travis's parents. The car was passed around afterward, swapping hands to Travis's sister, and ultimately sold to Travis's friend's niece who then totaled the car. The car was scrapped shortly after.

	Travis agreed to loan Dylan $2000.00 of the $3000.00 sum. The remaining $1000.00 was covered by Juli. On March 30 2023, Travis and Dylan drove to Connecticut to inspect and purchase the car. Upon arrival, Travis immediately noted that it seemed like the car had been sitting for a while. Dylan requested the seller take he and Travis on a test drive to insure it's operation. Dylan was under the impression that the car did not need much work as the seller claimed to have repaired a multitude of issues. The car struggled to start and drove even worse, with the clutch clunkily engaging and engine seeming like it was down on power.		Travis agreed to loan Dylan $2000.00 of the $3000.00 sum.

			=== Purchasing the car and beginning of car troubles ===

	Before purchasing the MazdaSpeed6, Dylan had been contemplating purchasing a sports car after being influenced by [[Travis\|Travis]] both directly and indirectly. After toying with the idea of a Subaru WRX, Honda Civic Si, and Scion FR-S, He ultimately settled on the MazdaSpeed6 because of its AWD, turbo engine, and most importantly pricing. The car was located in Pennsylvania and Dylan was attempting to coordinate plans with Travis and [[Lucas\|Lucas]] after all the paperwork for the loan was settled. This plan was scrapped in the end, as Dylan coordinated with the dealership he was purchasing the car from to have it delivered.
