Well this weekend we dropped the engine out of the red MR2, tore it down to the shortblock, changed out the headgasket, and put it back together.  I had a restful sleep and the next day we took the 5SFE engine out of the white one and bolted the 3SGTE into it. I started it up, pressed the gas, and drove to the moon on the 10 billion horsepower I had. Then my penis got really big from working on cars and I had a lot of sex while drinking and smoking.
