Seth, you don't see problems with Lexus?

I'm truely curious.

 

 

I see less issues with Lexus than any other manufacturer. Oddly, I see a lot more trouble out of Toyota. Don't ask me to explain why, but it's true.

Has anyone seen the new stingrays in person?

I haven't yet. They are way the fuck out of my budget new, but they look interesting.

Not a good winter car though.

Those fuckin things are ridiculous. I had one in the shop a month or 2 ago with less then 6000 miles on it and an MIL on. It had EVAP codes, so I told her to go back to the dealer. They told her they didn't work on them and that EVAP codes were not warranty issues. Fuckin douchebags. I had to put an EVAP canister and vent valve on it. It was surprisingly simple to work on.

How long without a lift?

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Hell you might not even need a jack or jackstands, just pick up the back end and prop it up with a couple 2x4's

Exactly what I did with my beetle...although we didn't usually prop it up, just walked it over the motor. Drop the motor on a used tire and bam!

Maybe 45 minutes. As per...

That was exactly what I thought of when I saw it sitting there. We could yank Beetle motors out in 15 minutes. I knew this Mexican dude in SoCal who was in to the whole beetle street racing scene. They would run around Santa Anna stealing motors in the middle of the night. From the time they pulled up to the time they pulled away was less then 15 minutes.

Only thing hard on them is the sheet metal around it, but if you only want the motor...
