I spun some wrenches on the Explorer over the weekend.....

Monypenny, please take a memo to Toyota Corporate -

OK, props to Alex for fixing his BMW on the cheap.  Sort of....he only left off the parts that he’s actually REQUIRED to have.

So, a car made to go to the fucking track with the fucking intention of fucking drag racing has no way to expediently KILL THE FUCKING ENGINE.

Mod Motor Guy’s time honored trick - I hold THEIR key hostage too.  As long as we do NOT have a deal and you have MY key....well, I’ll just hang onto yours for insurance.  I went the extra mile at one dealership, and walked OUT with it, heading for the car I test drove.  Steal my car, I’ll steal yours....or so they…
