Back in the Lexus game.
It feels good to be back in to a Lexus. My first real substantial car was an 2002 Onyx Black IS300 on GT-C's after owning dozens of Hondas starting with a 91 Civic Hatchback as well as these other honorable mentions dating from years back to 2002 up when I owned them. I lost a a lot of my older pics from we-todd-did-racing back in the day..

-94 Honda Accord, black w/JDM H22A swap, built head, gutted, shaved bay, wire tuck and Bronze 18" TE-37's (ran 8.90 sec 1/8th mile on street tires)

-94 Del Sol Si with 70k Orignial Miles, GSR Swap

-01 BMW 325i Sport Package on M3 19's
-02 Lexus IS300
2002 BMW 325i Sport Package on 19" HRE 540R's

-06 Mercedes-Benz C230 on 19" Maya RT5's
Latest Car: 2000 Platinum GS300 (not taken by me but by friend I bought it from/LACEDUP by Cameron Scialdone)

Thanks man, and yeah those where the days where you could take a 3+ hour trip, drive around, maybe put $10 bucks in it and then drive home on the same tank. lol

I appreciate it. I've been with a new company for a little while now and I finally have some time to get back into the car game. Went to my first show/meet in 2+ years in Charlotte last part of July.

Yeah, its just a being able to sleep at night experience when it comes to Lexus and there cars. I receive the best service and the best quality IMHO. Its really the way to go when you buy cars. They give you the best overall experience, and less headache. The Benz was just one thing after another and no real time to enjoy the car at the fullest. Honestly my boosted hatch ran smoother.
The BMWs had little hit/miss issues but nothing real major. I also had a 428whp DSM that blew up on me the day I bought it. The silver integra se on the axis wheels popped after about a month thus the b20 swap that me and Jonathan Y. of "triple O.G." Staged Racing out of Orlando, FL installed.
Cars are definitely a journey. I'm almost ready for a Lotus Evora... ehh maybe another year or two. I owned approximately 30 and I'm sure I left a few out that should have been mentioned. My Boss at my old company just sold his supercharged SRT-10 Viper on HRE`s for a Rosso 360. Insane!
...I have a passion for cars. Thanks!
