lol...well, the IS was a fun, comfortable car, had all the bells & whistles new cars have nowadays & it's pretty good looking, but it doesn't have the same sleek, sexy, bad-*** look that the SC's have. I think I actually had more fun driving my SC too, you know, when it wasn't in the shop

I sold my stanced out '04 WRX to get my SC4. I gotta agree, new cars are great and all but I got tired of the monthly car payment. Not only that but the WRX scene is highly saturated now, especially when it comes to stance, and those cars are everywhere. I like driving something that's luxurious and some-what rare to see on the roads, at least you don't see many around here. At the same time I think anybody who's heavily into Japanese cars always has to give a nod to a properly setup SC.
Oh yeah, totally forgot about the car payments (or lack of). That was great, but instead if paying $3k a year on financing we blow the money all at once whether it be on mechanical issues, body work, mechanical issues, electrical...did I mention mechanical issues? Lol...but it's worth it because like you said, our cars are pretty rare (nicely kept ones at least) & its always nice to easily pick your car out in a crowded parking lot.

i found myself going DAMN on that MOTOR WEEK 91 vid myself a lot of firsts i remember some american car engineers on some show talking about the LS400 hitting 150mph with only 250hp and how excited they where about that.
they where like the American car makers really need to catch up.
soon the Cadillac northstar came along as i remember. the caddy claimed to go 50 miles with no coolant (most likely tested out often...lol). i jacked up my mothers 02 DHS caddy, at the jacking point, and the damn metal started bending up into the fender.
my passenger widow regulator and drivers Master Switch are OEM so is my fuel pump (i have one on the ready) . i have a friend with a 06 Maxima and the drivers window wont roll up removed his master switch and it was lite weight as hell.
