Good note... I’m headed there in May. Hopefully my wife understands this struggle.

This article has been updated... it originally didn’t even mention a housing. When I first posted this comment, I searched for “housing” and found nothing. Finding that so perplexing; I went and re-read the article.

1st Gear: Part of their resurgence plan needs to involve getting Bond back in a Lotus.

Has anyone tried to LS-swap a Prius?

I’d still like an answer to your question...

This is the first time I did this.

I have a ‘98 M Roadster and someone on a subreddit said I drove a hairdresser’s car.

Top-notch Simpsons reference.
