Thanks everyone!
About the flatbed... It's actually on the way to the dealer for a new engine. :/

I hate Hello Kitty and thought I'd strap her to my tow hook. She's a hoe and is everywhere even on tow hooks. Lol.

You just bought the car and now it needs a new engine...that's sucks! Anyway, did you had a compression test done before you bought it? Did you test drive the car and how was it? Just curious.

Yup, I've owned it for 10 days today, drove it 4 days and it's been gone for 2.
I did test drive the car, 5 times to be exact. I work like a mile away from where I bought it and I went there during my lunch break for 5 days straight. It works fine, everything about it does. It pulls hard after 5k RPM all the way to redline. Nothing leaks, is broken or acting funny. No rough idle, loss of power at high RPM's or nothing really of that sort. The dealership mechanic just said a few things revolving around showing symptoms because the engine is running lean and the oil looking peculiar after he did my oil change. The engine still has the manufacturers warranty, I bought an extended one regardless but they said it will be all covered.
..well everything minus belts and the radiator they recommended I hope.

The engine & labor is covered by the manufacturers extended engine warranty. (8yrs or 100k miles).
I bought a 3rd party extended warranty that covers the engine, rotors, rotor housing & all internally lubricated parts, oil pump, water pump, transmission & all internally lubricated parts as well as a bunch of other stuff I forgot. I paid $1200 for 24k miles or 2 years. I'm only planning on driving the FE less than 8k miles per year.
