Lexus IS-F Engine: Topless and Naked
Lexus IS-F Engine: Topless and Naked-December 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:21

I mentioned in today's of the IS-F review that if you remove the engine cover you're, "Looking at Darth Vader's chest plate, an expansive jumble of wires, black boxes and even more wires." Well, I wasn't kidding. More after the jump.

That's, uh, me, holding the rubber engine cover. Notice the big "F" badge. Also, Packers: 7-1!

Crazy detail. Just crazy. Kids, don't try to work on this at home. That sound you hear? Danio's head popping.

And oh hell yes, Murilee and I rolled up in a Lexus Prototype at the . That's just how we roll.

At $9,250, Will This 1999 Dodge Stratus Put You On Cloud Nine?
The seller of today’s Dodge cloud car describes its condition as “mint,” which isn’t startling considering its extremely low mileage. Let’s see if this surprising survivor is worth the seller’s asking to keep around even longer. It was nearly 100 years ago that the first Volvo rolled through the...
