And there are so many cars I'd get before ever even thinking about a Cube. Talk about taking your balls and cutting them right off.
You do not have to remove the cab to replace the headgaskets (granted that makes it a breeze and it only takes an hour to lift the cab)

If you block off the stupid emissions crap and add head studs you have a bullet proof engine capable of 500 or so horses and 700-800 ft.lbs of torque (RWHP numbers)

Ask me how I know!
