Fairly simple question, I wasn't sure whether to post it here or in general discussion. I was wondering how you guys get around to go to work and such when you're swapping an engine into your car? Do most of you buy a cheap pos and drive it around while the celica's in the garage? I know this is simple question, but I was wondering if there's any other ways you guys get around?

I drive my 1990 jeep wrangler. But as stated above a well planned swap should be no more than a weekend of downtime. We did a 7afe swap wednesday took about 6 hours with 2 of us. nothing really hard about what we did but that would leave you easily a day and a half for wiring and loose ends
