The guy who runs the Alcan 5000 is selling the Toyota Sequoia he drove up to Anchorage, and this is the engine bay photo he put on Craigslist. Taken on the side of the road near Snag Junction, Yukon Territory. It looks clean because everything is soaked in coolant. If you look closely, you can see my screwdriver handle plugging a heater hose where a fitting cracked after hitting a frost heave in the road too hard.

One of the Alcan organizers was able to source a Dorman hose tee in Tok, Alaska and he swapped it out in the hotel parking lot in Fairbanks. As a prank, he didn't tell the owner, so everyone in that car showed up all bundled up and ready for a -17 F day only to be surprised by a working heater.

We have identified a local hauler who has given us a base estimate of approximately $50k with no specifics on permits or distance. The streetcar must be removed from City property in whole and may not be disassembled at our facility.

Make your own train tracks! Take that big railroad. Real chat, you can move that on one of the giant trailers made for moving poo poo that is to big to legally move you just put a cop car in front and behind to cop people out of the way.

Sure looks like a redline. The interior is laughably bad and the top mechanism is  when compared to a Miata or something. They're pretty quick though and I always had a soft spot for the solstice gxp coupes that there weren't many of. Do it powershift!

Another fun thing is that a 2jz fits in, bolts up to the transmission and even the motor mounts line up. Supposedly, the internet says.

The trans is some Aisin unit that's sort of related to the N/A Supra 5 speed. Probably would have to swap the bell housing at a minimum. Compared to its competition of the time, an NC Miata is at least fun + cute, the S2000 is more mature and pleasantly shaped, the MRS is well, uhhh it's a Toyota, and the Solstice/Sky are just so... dowdy with that massive beltline, no matter how many SCCA touring wins they got, that may or or may not have been because GM pushed money at SCCA to run the classes they did. It's like the men up top wouldn't let the designers do anything near of how good the C5 Vette was because it would kill Corvette sales.

kiddo bought a really crummy solstice with a non intercooled turbo strapped to it and while fun it was a total parts bin GM nightmare. My wife bought a totally stock sky not long after because she liked the boy's solstice so much. 6 months later we bought a Volvo XC90 because we got pregnant again lol. The solstice and sky were both nightmares to drive because I am far too big for sports cars
