Right On!!!

So glad for ya Lex!
Now, Rule Number one, no skim boarding in SC430!
And rule Number Two, put the WeatherBug app on your phone and when it calls for rain, the SC stays home!
Drive the corolla instead! LoL.

Hey, did the O'rings work on the AC evaporator lines?

WOW! Better than new. Looks like you spent some time washing, polishing and waxing. Plenty of summer left to enjoy.

How is the new engine? Any background info like how many miles and what year, make, model Lexus it came from?

Hey Buddy, will remember not to go surfing with the Lexus next time I see a flood. Good tip.

I'm waiting for the OEM Evap O-rings, and I will let you know how they work out hopefully Friday or Saturday!

Engine feels incredible. More power and more responsive. Don't know her origins, but she *looks* new!
