After a long 6 month wait my new baby is finally home. After I sold my GS back in January I was told that my wait time would be 4 - 5- weeks for delivery but I must say the wait was well worth it. Fresh back from vacation, this morning My friend and I headed down to PA to pick my new project, a 2001 Toyota Aristo V300 Vertex edition. I missed out on a previous Aristo that another member bought the same day that I sold my GS but like I said before I definitely didn't mind the delay in finding another one.

Anyone who wants to debate about the legality of this car can save it. I don't need any lawyers in this thread, just car enthusiasts. It definitely needs a good cleaning and the hood and right side got scratched real good during the shipping process. That will be repaired once the car goes into the body shop for wing removal and fender mods. Onto the pics.

Cakafete garcon. What you trying? You doing like you didn't drive RHD on a regular back home. The only two things you have to remember is the turn signal is not the wiper switch and vice versa. The other thing you have to get in the right side of the car to drive it lol. At least you'll have practice before you go down for carnival. Who you rollin with.....

Yeah bro it's been a while since I drove a RHD so yeah it feels a little strange. I'm already used to the turn signal and wiper switches being on opposite sides lol.

BTW Scientist just told me he will be in NY in a couple of weeks so it's your turn to visit now .
