Right there with ya!

Seems like everyone wants to sit in the engine bay--me too. Don't know why.

Hey did you lift that engine/tranny off a 2x6 beam--just curious.

Here it is, I knew I could find this pic, see your not the only one. I guess it's a feeling of dominance over the machine that owns you.....er uh maybe a sense of acomplishment for pulling the motor, or maybe by the time our motors are out we have gone insane
