    "the 587 looks a whole lot like the 387 but essentially everything from the firewall forward is new. New Hood, bumper, suspension, fenders, etc. It also has an entirely new chassis under it (similar to the 386) which makes for a significantly more predictable, stable ride than the 387."

    That's wrong, it's:

    387+3=390
    390+10=400
    400+100=500
    500+80=580
    580+7=587

    3+10+100+80+7=200

    Why subtract when you could do something much more elaborate and unnecessary? Gotta love common core.
