I did rebuild an es300. I didn't like it and the neighborhood that I live in is kindof rough and it's not a good idea to bring something with a lexus badge on it here. I like my volvo too much. I sold the lexus for $4500 and I've been living off of the money. I didn't like it much anyway, FWD, V6, automatic. it felt slugish and squishy even though it's much faster than my volvo. A bitch to work on too. It took my 4 hours to change the thermostat and fuel filter. They bury that stuff.
No pot holes! This neighborhood has something worse which is lots of gravel alleys and stuff which are full of nails and screws and things that messes up tires nicely. I've dug 2 nails out of my front right tire in 2 months and pulled another out for a friend yesterday. I really don't get it, but there's a lot of things about this town I don't get.
I haven't been to any southwestern junkyards yet, but I hear that it's a moving experience with all the old cars.
