Great story, great car. I own one :) W163 represent.

I miss futurama.

YES.

Looks very promotional to me....

Awesome! I'll be there once qualifying for GS ends.

I'm at WGI right now. My friend is racing car 78 in the continental tire challenge. Mustang Boss 302R.

I've been wanting cars to have this for ages. Great idea, in support.

Tried this a while back and this was basically the biggest issue of an Android switch. I had to carry my iPhone around for a few weeks until it finally unsynced. I think I had to turn the iphone off for it to work or something. Eventually I went back to an iPhone.

The worst thing. This is it.

It's a good little car, definitely don't regret spending the cash despite the fact that I've driven it for one weekend only. Your deal was just better-er :P

Yay! Love this one. I'm eternally jealous that you get a 944S for 800 bucks and I got a 924 for 300 less :(

You're probably right, I have no idea about anything Toyota. My dad owned an early 90's tercel a looooong time ago, which is abut my only first hand experience with a Toyota. And I was like 5.

Yep. My 1999 ML320 had an idler pulley that made a very slight squealing noise. When I replaced it it had spider web cracks along the ribs and a few large cracks on the side of the pulley that faced the engine. Caught it before it broke luckily.

My 1999 ML320 had an idler pulley that made slight noise, not nearly as bad as this one, but I changed it out anyways. 20 dollar part that can prevent you having a breakdown on the side of the road.

Oops. I was watching Mr. Regular's video on his family's 1990 Cressida and he said it had a I6 so for some reason I assumed this did to. Good luck! If it's a belt, you may want to look at changing that soon, along with the pulleys there too.

While obviously not your engine, here is an example of a trailblazer with a whining idler pulley...

I'm not sure how the belt system works on the straight 6 in your Lexus, but if it has an Idler puller or a tensioner pulley, the bearings inside of those pulleys disintegrate over time causing whining noises.

You should check the pulleys as well. I don't think it's the belts that are whining but the pulleys.

Looks like a cracked oil pan or something. Thats a big ass oil leak.
