That thing makes baby Jesus cry.

Would be interesting to watch them pull out a 16V engine by the intake.

I wonder if the tabs on the block that attach to the motor mounts would fail before the bolts do.

Its like a cat ripping the gutts out of a bird. About half way through there is an "easy" dash removal as well!

Looks like there may be a slight risk of scratching the paint on the fenders if you use it on a shark.

Automotive evisceration. There's gotta be a law against the sort of treatment. I'mm gonna call PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Automobiles.

Although wholly inanimate that really bothered me to watch. Sort of like a Transformer eating it's young.

If Mark buys one of those to use on 928's, we get to take turns kicking him in the you-know-what.

I definitely clenched a bit.

Isn't this step 1 in the 'How to easily replace your clutch MC' thread?

If I needed to buy an engine at a wrecker and saw one of these things in the yard, I would run for the hills!

I'm OK with it as long as they don't repurpose the thing as a replacement for the "Jaws of Life."
