my previous car that i sold to buy the 2014 IS 350 F sport

a lot of people ask me WHY!! well the reason is i have had 2 Z06 corvettes over the past 4.5 years and I've put 47,000 miles on between the 2 as daily drivers and to be honest my 3 mile commute to work is just not enough reason to have a car that i constantly worry about someone messing with, you can go from 0-a ticket in 3.7 seconds and I've done that!
don't get me wrong it is a badass car, but the main reason is this car was 1 of 194 ever built in 2012 and as a result its value was considerably more than a standard Z06. unfortunately with the new stingray coming out i knew i was going to loose my *** on it and if another corvette is in my future it will be the new stingray. so i decided to get out while the time was right. i did well with it. considering the sticker was 90k and i paid 75k and sold with 17k miles for 65k i think i did pretty well. other low mile cars just like mine went for 68-69k and considering winter was coming i think i did pretty good. the other thing is the new Z06 Stingray was just announced with Zr-1 performance and i seriously doubt people would pay what this car was worth knowing they could get a new stingray for near that price.
but i had some good times in this car for sure!

Single clutch automated manual? Try driving my smart fortwo. It has the worst tranny I've ever tried. Too bad its adorably cute that I still bought it..

My previous car! 2005 RSX Type S! Had it for 9 years before getting my Lexus! Not the fastest but so much fun to drive! Still got tons of compliments up until the day I sold it!

Impressive! Pics of each? Really want to see the bmw's and the lotus, well, and pretty much all the other ones . And I thought I've gone through a lot of cars... (8 so far). Also did a twin turbo on my Z, don't know your experience with that, but mine wasn't all fun...
