It's one thing to have a stock motor pulled out and another one put in. It's another to roll a trailered racecar up to Nissan and have them pull the motor and deal with a rolling around a motorless car. Is Cory going to leave my car on his lift for 3 months while AIMS checks the motor and I source a new shortblock to get the car running? Or am I supposed to load up a motorless car and get you and 6 other people to push it up my driveway and into my garage, that I still don't have room in.

Or, I can make the room in the garage where I can pull the motor and leave the car in one spot until I can get something back into it and get it running. Plus, I'm not exactly keen paying $1000 to have yet another motor pulled when I have everything I need to do the work for free at home... you of all people should understand that.
