Wait. Wrong Jay-Z.
I’m talking about the 2JZGE that lives under the hood of my new (to me) car (Still trying to think of a name for it).
Pic is from the day I brought it home. Pretty clean, I verified the timing belt is new-ish (I still bought a new kit w/water pump & VVTi cam gear). The tires in the pic were much too tall (225/55), so I bought new tires in the stock size (215/45). I kind of like the G37 wheels on it, even though the Plasti-Dip will probably need to be redone in the near future. I found my second Oppo sticker and installed it yesterday.
And now, I’m pining for it. I left this morning to come down to Sacramento for the fires. This Nissan Sentra rental isn’t terrible, but it’s not my car. I’m also the

Unfortunately, no. Couldn’t touch a 5-speed IS300 for what I wanted to spend. It’s my daily/secondary family hauler. I’m really pleased with it. It’s got room for the four of us, drives really well, and has a really big trunk.

Ooh, I was not aware that the IS had a nice trunk. Certainly doesn’t look that way from the outside.
