I never said to replace for no reason lol! I only said chains wear too, Toyota has good ones and they last the longest and it's helped by really really lax code trigger requirements.
For all y'all German haters here's some ammo lol! My 4.0 is acting up
Sent it too hard and it's having a rich code, guess I'm back to changing the map again and being easier on it.

I certainly will be. I’ll have an electric car for sure but still have ICE cars sticking around in some form.

This is timely. 1998 LS400 in with the CarWizard. Needs $7,000 worth of work (remember, a Lexus just runs forever and never needs any work right?)
Talking about the timing belt job. IMO not having to deal with this every 90k miles is a big upgrade.

If they can't or don't want to do that, they will pay dearly to sub contract these things out to others.
Prices for services has risen astronomically.
That car can probably have all that $9k of work done for $2k or less in parts, I'm guessing.

LOTS of people.
A man should be able to fix his carriage and his home and be self sufficient.

$2k in parts and hundreds of hours of time, plus the cost of a lift and all the tools plus having a car laid up they can’t drive while it’s in process, and the risk of doing something wrong and damaging the car.
I can’t be all the things I need to be in my life AND be a mechanic, and a plumber, and an electrician, and a handyman, and a landscaper, and a painter. Most people just have to pay people to do things that require expertise. That doesn’t make me “not a man” lol
