I have owned couple beemer and Benz, not really my cup of tea, plus the reliability.
But guess what, I am might get a 1993 Benz SL with matching hardtop and 59K miles! I can't pass the deal, it's too good to be true.

I am 32 and I love every single thing about my 05' LS UL, I don't care what anyone say.

Before I bought my LS430, all I owned/drive was sports car, Celica, R34 Skyline GTR, WRX STi........then I realized I am getting to old to commute in a loud/hard riding sports car. The LS430 is the perfect daily commuter. I am gonna get a hard edge sports car solely for the weekend a bit later.

haha funny my wife is the exact same way, she hated the old man image of the LS430 when I bought it 4 months ago, she wants me to get a BMW M3......I was like hell no, I don't want that crap.

Now she LOVES the LS because of how it drives, now she wants a SC430 for herself

R34 GT-R? Crap. I'd never get tired of that.

Same here, my wife at first said Why do you want that old mans car? Now everytime we go some where she jumps in the LS, I say why the old man car, what's wrong with your RX 350? She loves the LS now and even tried to make a play for it (the ol bait and switch) saying the wife should have the nicer car. Sorry sweetheart it is not going to happen!

It is a cool car and all, but not for daily commute. Trust me
