How many of you have one of these rolling around your garage? You know you're nuts when you pick up a spare engine & tranny... on wheels no less. Figure until I need it someday, I can polish it up and put it in my office.

Always a nice thing to have laying around the garage.

Yes you are crazy, I am having you Baker Acted and I need to take custody of the offending aluminum on wheels.

Loren, where the hell did you get that and for how much? I was just thinking about what I'd do if my engine ever goes........POP!!!

Is this in your garage due to the engine problems that you've referenced in past threads?

Ditto! Man it's time for fun. Start tearing it apart and rebuild it, better than it was, make it bionic!

Oh man, I would load one into the S430 and leave my S430 badges on. Sleepers FTW.

FLYNAVY

That would be amazing....please do this

rlee02135

but your CLK55 could blow away the E55

FlyByNight

yup... taking no chances. Now I can drive like crazy and not worry about other possible damage that may have been done. At some point my car was going lean... a piston cracked, and I'm lucky that's all it was. That doesn't mean some other things elsewhere weren't also weakened. Nothing like a $30 to $40k engine replacement to make you worry.

Whatever... this was too hard to pass up... 04' E55 totaled, rear end damage. Did a title check... 14k miles, totalled in 11/05, sitting around all this time. Saw pics of the car with engine in it, and it was untouched by the accident, so I'll cross my fingers and hope its ok. Sure looks unscathed. I got the engine WITH tranny attached... driveshaft too... for $7500... mounted on a special rack with wheels... delivered. Can't beat that. The guy that sold it to me was so cool... nicest guy. As you may recall, I lost almost that much on that god damned Exotic Warranty company scam, so I figure this is way more tangible... and a helluva lot more fun.

I'm going to take a tooth brush to it and make it purty... my precccciousss....
