Yesterday I'll install in my car the turn signal light on my mirrors. But I forget how to download the pictures here from my cellphone. Any help please.

Changed my valve cover gaskets. There's something oddly satisfying about fixing your own car and saving money, Lexus quoted my $475 to do the job. I don't even change my own oil ha. Oil changes are just the regular oil at the dealer every 5K. Are these enjines hard on oil? I know I've seen some pics from ES300s and even with regular oil change intervals, they didn't have sludge, but more varnish.

Just saved a bundle by replacing my leaky valve cover gaskets on my 300.

Just swapped out my rear diff with one with 75k on it...

Did it with the exhaust in place... this was a trick... but... it's done... WAY smoother...

My old diff had some decent slop

I changed my alternator, air filter, windshield wipers, and did an oil and filter change.
