I saw your thread in the Photoshop section; that picture you posted might be a bit difficult to make a signature out of it.

Last summer I replaced the majority of my suspension parts like the ball joints, toe links, sway bar links and bushings. In a few months the car is going to the dealer for the 90K maintenance work since I'm over 10K passed the 90K recommendation.

owned the car 7 years... as hard as it is for me to keep her stock, it shows how solid a vehicle Lexus made... no one ever believes me when i say it is 15 years old and over 120k miles... i'm always tempted to trade her in and get a new one, but i like not having a note... i have a spreadsheet at home with the total of how much i have spent to date... it's the cheapest car i have owned in my life... every day i drive her, she actually pays me back...

Maintenance
  1. Timing belt
  2. Tires
  3. Brakes
  4. Battery
  5. Hood Strut
  6. Fluids (Oil/Trans/Diff)
  7. New Y-Pipe
  8. Upgraded Sway Bar and Steering bushings

Same here! I actually exported my dealer history from http://drivers.lexus.com and added stuff my indy and I have done on our own. Whenever I do anything like get the oil changed I add the date and mileage to the spreadsheet. It's a complete history from when the car was delivered until now.

Like you said, with 216,000+ miles and hardly a problem there's no way I can get rid of this car! It just runs and runs. Plus, there's nothing else I want to drive.
