motor threw a rod at 289,000 miles, we could had it completely rebuilt for pretty cheap from a family buddy but we decided to get it blueprinted, balanced and upgraded all the internals and we tried to turbocharge it.

Long story short it got set aside and funds went elsewhere

picked up a 1980 Kawasaki LTD 440 with 6000 miles for dirt cheap and cafe'd it out

I was able to hang with an Aston Martin V8 Vantage up until 50mph then he started to pull away

anyways sold both the bike and truck and bought my SC300!! I do miss the bike but i am very happy with what i got, even if its not in the best condition its still a major upgrade for me

car before it was a 1992 MR2 Turbo

car next to it is our current 93 Impreza, got a WRX drivetrain almost ready to put in it.


this is my first first car
1983 Pontiac Grand Prix, V8 RWD

then I got a 2G lame 420a eclipse, my first manual car, learned over the weekend, then I commuted in it 4 hours a day the following weeks

and then my NA 91 MR2

then a 2 door AWD Auto 95 Impreza



then I sold both and got a falls apart 1995 Chevy Blazer that I replaced basically every mechanical part on, including the Engine.

sold it then bought the red 93 Impreza Sedan


and then also bought a 1991 Toyota 4runner V6 4WD Auto
only pic I have of it..

Sold that for the MR2 Turbo Initially posted


Sadly I wrecked the Turbo, (hence the silver front end SMG the cars original color) had it professionally repaired, drove it for awhile, but really felt I needed a different car, I think the SC400 is the perfect everyday replacement.. minus the Auto.. which we'll see if I am able to change that in the future..

My first car was actually the family car but i got anxious. I'm still 18 so that should explain the stickers.Sold the wheels to pick up the LS400 and if you look right behind my front wheel you can truly see how low it was from the ground.

Don't judge me...I started at 15 years old....what can I say, the Cutlass was free so I grabbed it.

Started out with a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass V8 Sedan. Hot car. Sold that 9/2010 then got a 1992 Ford Explorer. Sold that 3/2011 then got my 1992 SC400. Still have that and about a month ago I got a 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer.
