DItto!

It has been fun moding and hitting the meets up but now that starts all over again, and you know we on the same page on buying cars. I did get a 2012 this year but the deal was killer, the wife is happy so you know how that it is. I'm amazed how fast it sold, dude got a nice 460 at great price!

OSU will appreciate that last sentence haha..anyway, the cost savings are huge and with the LS being so reliable, getting a non CPO LS isn't that big of a risk..at least not with the LS I had. With the extended warranty backed by my Credit Union, I really felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I think some folks just like the new new aspect and have the capital to spend on a new car, which is cool... but I just refuse to pay double for something..literally the case for me. I have helped out a good number of friends in showing them the light on the used car world..they are literally driving the cars they wanted by getting over the fact they are not the first ones to have it and not settling...but I am not hatin' on folks who buy new, just not my style...for now anyway..wifey likes trips to foreign lands..so I needs the extra chedda haha

I remember those days. I was a 2 striper in the dorms around that time too. I also bought a honda accord lx around that time, Lol. That's where it all began.

This afternoon was kind of a bummer..fresh off the sale of mine and finding a sweet LWB with all options in TX..just to find the Toyota dealership that has it failed to disclose massive paint work..carfax was clean (I know..carfaux is BS anyway) but with my broker running an experian Autocheck on it and me digging around in the service history via myLexus and a call to the dealers that has serviced it gave me the 411 on the car..it was trashed and bootlegged repaired by a non approved Lexus repair facility to where Lexus wouldn't certify it so it went to auction..ending up at the Toyota dealership. So..doing homework pays off..car looked great but it was Janet Reno in a Kim Kardashian costume my friends.

My broker is hunting for one with auction while I look online..patience will pay off!

White is preferred choice by far..if my broker finds a stellar condition in black..I will consider it. A white L on my Vossen CV1s will look great!

Which Tanabe nf210 springs do you use? I'm seeing multiple types. I just ordered some but doesn't say a part number.
