Whoops ...... I apologize for forgetting the tag.
In the world of auto ads, I have never seen anyone use " runs well"....
they use the word "good".  I do not know why. So I slavishly followed

The truck has a stick shift and is named "the Hulk"
What I was laughing about was that the enquirer asked a question that  
was
answered in the ad title.
