the guy does deserve a bit of wrath here. Throw the 'mechanic' part out the window, the thing came with the braces and instructions which means in the end he had some really long heavy bars laying around that he assumed he didn't need or something

You have to take into account that according to this lister, he has worked at a well known Porsche Race car shop and took apart many , many engines. But his dad was in charge of the assembly line of GEO storms, here is a picture of the car that his dad bought from him at age 16.
