As some of you already know, or are aware, I am no longer a (current) member of the Lexus family. I sold my 92 LS back in March(see link in my sig) after long and hard deliberation over whether to let it go or not, and went without a car for the past few months. Well, earlier this month I picked something up to get me around, until I can step back into the Lexus family, but right now my car purchase was more based upon what my pockets could afford as well as maintain. I stepped into REALLY foreign territory this time, but am looking forward to giving it a fair shake, as I DO like the car's styling, and considering my LS was 20 years old, my "upgrade" really is not a bad place to be. I have no plans of abandoning this forum as moderator, I thought I would share my "new" ride, until I can step back up again. I may have committed sacriledge, but this time I stepped onto the big BLUE OVAL. 2010 Ford Taurus SE(Tuxedo Black Metallic). Mod plans are already in the works, tho I DO need to get re-aquainted with having a car payment again, since the last payment I had was back in 99, before I start mods.

Congrats to both of you on your new car purchases! Tony, I'm sure you'll be back in a Lexus sooner than you think

I agree James! Yet again, I've always been a Mustang fan anyway. Weird, I know...especially coming from an Asian guy LOL. But seriously, I wouldn't mind having an 03-04 Cobra to whip around with a screaming supercharger under the hood
