What made me get an SC...
The HORRIBLE NASTY GOD AWFUL reliability of German Cars!!!!!!!!! That was the main reason... But other factors were the looks, the quiet comfortable ride that also handles well, its basically a Supra except with all the Lexus goodies I love, and like someone else also commented; the SC's gone wild video of course!!!!

It was pretty simple for me, grew up working with Hondas...which were easy to mod, and of course easy to steal...lol. I couldn't afford the supra, so the next best thing...my SC, this is a realiable car, well built minus the few hiccups-overall great car. Plus I could age with my car...I didn't want to be the old guy driving a Honda civic at 40...unless it was a drag civic...lol. I've always like the SC!

Started out with a 91 nissan maxima, 02 camry, 01 toyota celica, and i can't afford a supra. and i got my new sc4 pretty cheap $500 for the shell. going to put in an engine and tranny in a few weeks. upgrade from the celica? i think so. although my celica is pretty nice :3

Timeless style (people still think it's a new car) the reliability of these vehicles, and the fact that I've wanted one since I saw the facelift in 1997 (at a lawyer's office) and have been chasing one ever since. It really kicked off in 2003 when I drove my first SC, it was a 400, 1992, and it had 265K on it and I had no clue until the owner told me.... I was amazed, knew I had to have one, and this year, it finally happened.

Thanks guys keep them coming..
So we have alot of Dsm guys, my tuner is big dsm guy he has 692awhp Eclipse GSX i went to his house so we can street tune my car i walk in the garage and ask him "i don't never see you drive it" and he was like "i can't drive too far because of the trans".
I loved my 1Gen GS300 it had 205k mile when i bought it with original Timing belt and WP .The only Downside on the GS is the shifter bezel always cracks, water under the spare tire, upper control arms,stereo amplifier,broken cup holder so on ..... but you don't have to worry about door panels haha.
2Gen GS is also nice my DD is 2002 GS sport design has 216k miles i bought it maybe 4 years ago with low miles this is a maintenance free car yesterday i put it on the lift it for a quick check out it needs about $2k worth of parts.

I over thought my car choices and for some reason when I was 16 I felt like if I had any less than 450whp I'd have the slowest car on the streets, so I bought the cheapest 450whp reliable car I could find. Bad idea.

^^haha with the way your sc sits im guessing you did? when i was little i saw a unique long stylish car on some t.v series and long after watching sc's gone wild for first time i was simply closed into finding one, luckily i did with one better than i'd ever imagine
and it still makes me smile when people ask in me in astonishment; "what? that thing has a v-eight in it?"
