Default Things that make you go,,,,wha.....

Being a long haul truck driver gives me an interesting opportunity to see many Lexus' throughtout most of the country. Most fo the time, I see alot of stock, and a few with rims, tint, etc. I would be totally remiss if I didnt share this "interesting" first gen that I spotted . So , uh, (hesitating),,, Enjoy!! LOl!!!



Tried to zoom in on this one, but could not get it. I was in a tractor trailer so I could only get so close. Tried to zoom in with photoshop but it lost clarity, sorry!!

If I wanted port holes, I'd buy a Buick pile of shat.

That car looks clean, minus the horrible color, fugly rims, and the port holes.

looks very clean. I hate the rims and the portholes... but i kinda like the color. Maybe if it were a little darker shade of red. Like Candy apple red. I love red. At least it's taken car of! I saw a white 97 ls400 with the rear quarter panel totally smashed in. It was sideswiped real bad and the whole passenger side was scraped. It also was rusty, so the accident wasn't recent. Stupid college kids!!

Found this little gem in North Carolina. Car was clean but the ports really do need to go. Paint really was not my taste though. The guy said he is getting rid of the rims soon and he offered to sell them to me, just cant dop it!! This thing is sitting on 20's with no drop.

Working at a dealership puts me in an interesting position to see all sorts of cars. I don't have any pictures, but what I see on almost a daily basis are cars with wheels so large that the diameter of the wheel and tire combination is too large, thus giving the car an off-road stance. I've also seen terrible repaints and cars with more door dings per panel than I have teeth in my mouth, and I still have a full set.
