A sequential transmission seems like so much fun. I wonder how much of a pain it would be on the street?

That's pretty awesome. Do most folks just need a charge? How often do they actually need a leak plugged?

A/C work has to be pretty nice since it's probably one of the most similar types of things between any make/model of car.

I would think if you drove it normal using the clutch it would be fine, just noisy as hell. Most people might not like that, but shift dogs clunking into place and straight cut gears whining like a kid with no X-box is music to my ears!

This is neat:

Power cord for the projector I use for training. Cord spontaneously shorted and melted. Made a quick pop and scared the crap out of one of my trainees. Smelled strongly of ozone. I thought the projector's lamp had gone out, but when I tried to unplug it, the cord fell apart. I've used hundreds of these types of power cords and this is the first time one has ever failed like this... :eek:

Nothing so sinster. It's merely another example of the Universe's unending efforts to thwart me.

MoD, life's sometimes like a crazy ex-gf who thinks messing with power cords for your electronics is enough to qualify as vengeance. You need to show life how it's done.

I would say that about 75% of my customers just need a recharge,the rest either have a good size leak or something else wrong.

Afternoon folks. The boring Lexus is almost done. Then it will get painted a few weeks down the road, and pictures will be taken. I had planned to sell it back after painting it, but I'm just gonna do things to it, then sell when I get bored. Turbo, I'm your big brother now (bigger engine).

Life can suck it. In 40,000 years when my dark-matter-matrix quantized brain and planet-sized indestructible omegabot body are still alive and kicking and irritable as Hell, I might just decide to find all water in the universe and convert it back to Hydrogen and Oxygen. Then we'll see what "life" has to say.

Ahhhh, sweet solitude. Nothing but the background radio emissions of distant pulsars and the shifting gasses of nebulae to distract me from my thoughts.

Yea, turbo, it's an IS300. It's just coming out of surgery and seriously needs paint. I'll see if I can put up a few pics, though.

MoD, 40,000 years from now, even life might not be alive then.

TMS, it's funny how the guy in the firefighter jacket isn't the one messing the the dangerous canister.

Morning folks.

Turbo, it got some bodywork done, and I'm just calling it boring in reference to the sentiments of some people here that believe that most if not all of Lexus is boring.

Understandable, I'm actually thinking about getting rid of my altezza (selling)
Waaaay too many people have them now. o_o
like I see at least 5 every time I drive, and more and more are coming to the (small) island every month.
I'm not a huge fan of everyone and their grandmother having the same car I do.
It's the main reason I got rid of the Torneo. Any parking lot anywhere I saw at least three, and I saw ten daily, and at least 4 for the ten I saw looked exactly like mine.
It's annoying.
