    King James Edition, eh? Harketh thou peoples of little faith. Hath He not shewn thee the wickedness of your iniquities and what doth the Lord requireth of thee? Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

    maybe this one isn't defective. Our 2015 K900 VIP has been in the shop 29 of 55 days we've owned it since 3/9/15. The parking brake has a defect that makes the car shudder like you've been hit. Last time back from the shop, Cottonwood Kia, after being there over 3 weeks it came back with paint gouges on front hood, uninstalled trim loose on the floor, wadded candy wrappers under the seat, and worse noise than before. This car is a disaster.
