If you’re not ready to make a commitment in time and tools to do this, it’s a good idea to let it go. That said, rebuilding these engines isn’t THAT hard, but yes, it will take time. Unless it’s something you just want to do, you’re better off buying a well-sorted one. I’m deep in a 300E rebuild right now, but I’m a…

I’ve worked inside a dealership as a salesman, then I worked in the auto industry on the business side.

Honestly I usually let half-assed arguments sort of slide - but this one hurts my feelings. If you want to use the term “supply and demand” with any kind of authority you should try to at least not ignore the entire universe of economic theory. Supply and demand equilibrium assume frictionless markets.

Have an 86 911. The lift off oversteer thing feels like a bogeyman. I lift off a lot in that car to turn the nose in slightly mid-corner. I’ve done it in the dry. In the rain. In the cold. Whatever. You can basically steer it with the go-pedal. Can confirm that you can bury the throttle all through some corners and…

There is almost zero chance that engine is dead. The M103 runs forever and through everything, Theyre bombproof. Rebuilding one right now for my 300E. Modern EFI, coil on spark and eventually, turbo.

There are more model years of land cruiser than 2020. But honestly, take your pick, a bunch of cars use premium gas and have 20 gal tanks.

Ah yes, is this the part where you basically copy any retort in the comments above (from several people) and then project on someone else?

Will this thing keep up with the occasional highway jaunt to get from one side of town to the other?

Quick question though? Are you making any money from me and my RR Phantom living in your head?

Never seen someone tuck tail and run so fast.

For someone who thinks they seem to know finance, you should understand time value of money - so if my Rolls Royce Phantom is saving 8 bucks and I invest that over 30 years at an average return of 7%….

Except he pegged you pretty well - I think out of ten comments I see out of you, 9 of them are wrong or totally off base. 

I think most SUVs, but in this case, a Land Cruiser.

Even a cursory understanding of economics would lead to the knowledge that a ton or wasted every day - and ten minutes isn’t a big deal - especially if it’s during other errands. No one is even close to perfectly efficient.

The waits aren’t usually that long, even when the line looks long, and if you’re smart, there is no wait at all. I can easily do a work or other type of phone call while I want so no biggie. The savings on premium in my neck of the woods is often 40 cents per gallon give or take, and actually a bit more if you are…

What the dude replying to you was saying is that things are sold as 2x4 lumber for example but their real dimensions are a little less than that. So when you need to be accurate - it helps to have something that can easily measure those sort of unconventional dimensions.

Hopefully - the star will get your comment out of the grays. It’s hard not watch this unfold and not feel a bit of rage. Hopefully not only can the world stand behind you, but also WITH you. I know there are complexities here people are dancing around, but my heart goes out to the community there and I’m in awe of…

What the Ukrainians are doing in defense of their homeland on the one hand - shouldn’t be surprising. On the other. It’s breathtaking and courageous. Ukrainian citizens are home and abroad should be extremely proud of their people. 

In case you all haven’t noticed. We’ve been watching the death of this thing for quite some time. The shit company that bought this brand has choked almost all of its properties in the name of getting every last fucking penny they can out of them. Ultimately at the cost of killing the golden goose.

Yes. Really weird to focus on outlandish things like housing and public education.
