SC430-Most compliments I have ever received
#31
Had 4 yesterday. 1 from an adult male. 3 were from teens leaving school out in San Bernardino where I had to go to handle some personal business (boy that city has changed for the worse). Anyhow while rolling up to the light I drove past a group of girls and one screamed out, "Get out my Lexus Mother %$#$%^". I smiled and drove off. I suppose that is a compliment.

on the opposite of compliments I had some hick in a truck yell something that didnt seem to be too nice at me while my top was down yesterday. I think it was prob more of a racial remark, I couldnt really hear since the system was thumping I really wish I would have so I could have said something smart back, too bad he drove off while I was stuck at a light.

Anyway, the first week I had the Lexus...I took it through the state inspection station...of course those familiar with such places would know that .. you have to get out of the car & let them drive it to test the brakes, suspension, emissions,etc Now in the past with the Mercedes..I've had double takes of my car probably due to the rare color... but rarely compliments to me directly. However, bringing the Lexus through the guy inside the station says, "this car is awesome... can you wait a few minutes before leaving so that I can call my girlfriend?" lol So flattered as I was.. I waited.. she came zooming in riding in her beautiful corvette. Asked to sit in the Lexus ..& then fell in love with it there on the spot! Since then, her as well as 6 other strangers have commented "but what do you do to afford that car?"...I reply back to them every time....it cost me no more than what you are driving...i bought it used for $29,000. They are baffled but its true even the new loaded Explorers as well as many loaded Minivans...same price as my Lexus. Its all on your priorities in life. With Lexus quality a few miles from a used one...is laughable & like new still. In addition, the 2002 looks almost identical to the 2006! Pass it on...

It was a beautiful day in NJ this past Saturday so I decided to get the car washed and put the top down for the first time this year. I stopped at a store on the way home to pick something up and parked in a spot where the sun hit the car. In sunlight, the amethyst (OK, so it's purple!) really is striking when the car is clean. When I can out of the store, a guy was just standing there looking at the car. When he saw me, he said, "That's a beautiful car!" I thanked him and he said, "No, I mean that's a BEAUTIFUL car!" Thanked him again and as I backed out of my space, I saw him get into his 7-series BMW...!

Then I'd sell it and buy a 2006 SC and use the rest of the $$$ to mod the daylights out of it!
