Thank You to the NELOC brotherhood!
As our story continues in the NELOC drama we know and love. Here's my contribution to acknowledge the closeness that we have as a community.
As some of you have heard (Is it really that hard to keep thing on the DL?) I had an incident in PA. While I was crawling on the expressway at 60 MPH (Damn GS430 / LS400 guys are soooo slow
) my car overheated and in combination with my low oil situation I spun a rod bearing. Needless to say my motor was toast! 
The NELOC superheros come to life...!
I'd like to thank:
KevinGS for creating this meet so I could break down. Plus your generous donation of supplies to get me to VA.
Trukn1 for getting my butt towed off the expressway, creating the LS vs. SC debate and looking out for a brother.
Cherplex for helping me in every way. From the beginning to the end, you've been a true friend.
Plus I'd like to give a special thanx to.....
PJ and VIP GARAGE!
PJ offered the services of his shop VIP GARAGE and his crew (Martin, Super Soap and Johnathan). PJ also donated his 2JZ block to my cause! VIP GARAGE is truely the place to be if you're looking to modify your Lexus in the VA/MD/DC area!
The damage to my car was extensive. The overheated motor melted my 3rd rod bearing and contaminated the oil which in turn clogged my oil pump and siezed my turbos. (Does anyone have a set of 1JZ stock twins to donate?) And for the last 3 days I've removed the engine, rebuild the motor with PJs block and re-install everything on limited sleep! I've also been living on gatorade and Chipoltle (Thanks again Sherwin!)
The crew at VIP GARAGE was very accomodating helping me get supplies and letting me monopolize they're lift.
Long live NELOC.... We have friends here!

Thanks guys for the kind words... It's good to be home again and look forwrd to my next visit to the VA/MD/DC area.
Cherplex, PJ and Rising_Sun... We're starting the domination of the 1JZ over the 1UZ... Wots a V8? Isn't that a vegetable drink?

Oh see, there you go trashing the OG gangsta of Lexus, the 1UZ. I know that she is slow off the jump,,I know that ya reaaalllllyyyyy can't modify the living daylights out of her,, and I know that she don't hold a stick (aside from her cane) in the speed category. However, youngsta, respect her. Were it not for her success here in the US, non of ya would be here (dang siblings!!!!)
Funny, seeing as to how I had to double back to push you off the road and THEN arrange to have you scraggly azzzzz pulled from the road. Not to mention, you were at least a mile behind me when you overheated. LOL!!!!!!
That V8 might be a vegetable drink, but no doubt whatever it's in, just call them POPEYE baby, cause that engine runs strong LOL!!!!!!! 
Anyways,,, glad that I was able to help, glad that you made it home in one piece and don't worry she'll be back up to par soon.
Just remember, next time you come back to MD, dont let this happen, AGAIN, trying to chase down the LS. LOL!!!!!!!!!
I dun pushed you on the trailer once, DON'T LET ME HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN!!!! ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!

Cmon bro... You told me you wanted to go 1JZ! Most 1UZ guys only make about 210 to the wheels with every bolt-on mod available... Us 1JZ guys are crushing that number. STEP UP and be a MAN! I still got luv for ya...
