    Well I took advantage of HFs 4th of July coupon so that the 140 dollar motor cost me...

    140 dollars. :anonymous: but at least it was 140 after tax. :cookiemonster:

    There's the culprit. One cleanly snapped crankshaft.


    The wife has a weird fascination with mechanics, so she wanted to turn wrenches while I pointed. Fine by me.

    :burp: I can happily stand back, finish my coffee, and occasionally double check torque.

    And the Anger Management o'matic is back up and annoying the neighbors. Good. I'm way behind on back yard maintenance.

    Who wants a gently used motor? Runs great. Some oil included.

    I’ll take the motor, only if you deliver.

    Delivery only accepted if you roll up in that Miata.

    Deal. Miata is currently in the body shop for hail damage.

    As soon as it's bailed out, I'll hit the road.

    Wait, shit. You were supposed to say no.

    I can’t actually meet the Lobster. I’ve hit my quota for number of Tacomaworld members I can meet.

    Is the quota zero?
    You haven't lived unless you witnessed a TW member attempt to eat the Big Texan 72oz steak.
