Wanted to start a fun thread. Let's here what you have/had and pics.
Mine was a 2012 Durango. Blacked it out. Then 2 months later dodge offered the black top option smh.

I had a 1998 Buick Park Avenue Ultra Supercharged. Fully loaded, every option available for that year in a rare red color. Don't have the picture handy.

My first Lexus... Grandma owned 93 LS400 with rich dark brown leather interior... the car that sold me on Lexus.
Purchased with 96K on it and it was almost 20 years old and rode and drove awesome.

I was driving a 2005 Chrysler Town and country touring. Purchased by my parents. It was purchased brand new, it was a pos. Everything was breaking on it. I'll never buy another american car unless it's a corvette. Love my ls430.

Same here I bought the Durango brand new and it was having electric problems and tranny was very unresponsive
After 2 years got rid of it only has 13k and was daily driver.
Traded it in my a Mazda cx5 for the wife.
Now she doesn't want it and want to get a 2012+ gs350

2007 Mazdaspeed3 GT. Car was quick made 302whp and 342wtq on 93 and 344whp and 390wtq on e85 40% blend with just bolt ons. I do miss the space for hauling things too, otherwise the LS430 UL is so much better for a daily car.

No pics, but I traded in a 2002 Explorer Sport Trac. I still have but am looking to sell my 2001 Cadillac Deville. Every time I sit in the Caddy I can't help thinking about how bad I wish I could swap the seats into my LS.

I had a succession of Q45's with this being the latest. A '95 Q with the touring suspension.



I always thought Q's were the best cars I've ever driven till I got the LS 430 then everything changed. The Q was a great car and handled better than the LS but in all other categories, the LS is superior.
