Very nice stable!!

 

Awesome fleet, I also want a nice XRS as that engine is just FUN. Impossible to find a good one though....a manual AWD version would be something I drive as my daily for sure.


At one point the entire fleet here was Lexus, I had the RX300 for SUV jobs, LS430 for my wife, and mine was the LS460. The Jeep wasn't started for 8 months at that time and the truck doesn't count. Then they canceled the TTV8 and I left the brand

 

Great set of machines Rolla
For folks who don't hit the LFA area, Rolla should also be credited (highly) for working to keep some life into that section.

 

@BayeauxLex thanks very much. Really appreciate it.

Indeed, 2ZZ-GE is a lot of fun. For Corolla XRS, they made something like 5500 in total for US, Canada and Puerto Rico markets for model year 2005 - 2006. Initially, they sat on the lot collecting dust for a long time. I picked up mine in September of 2004 brand new. Now, it is extremely rare to find them and finding a mint condition near stock is nearly impossible to find. A lot of them have been totalled or like mine, very high mileage (mine has 225,000 KM on it) and the body is in rough shape especially since the hail damage. Mechanically, it drives amazingly well, but the body has rust and now the hail damage. I had been offered really good money for it over the years, but I chose to keep it thinking I will drive it often at some point in the future. Unfortunately, that point never came. Really busy with a lot of things and also the 3 Lexus make it almost impossible to find the time.

Regarding Lexus, I have tried several times to dabble in the BMW world. When I was considering my next sedan, as I spoke with @arentz07 many times, at first I wanted to go with a mildly used m340i (a 2018 or so) and toyed with the idea for a while, but then ended up going back to IS350 F-Sport. While my 311 hp IS350 F-Sport does not have anywhere near the performance levels of the m340i, I am glad that I did since I enjoy the IS350 a lot.



@S2000toIS350 thanks for your generous comments. Those used to be the days when I used to be a permanent fixture on the LFA forum obsessing over every little detail, posting lots of material and getting into arguments with people who even mildly criticized the LFA. LOL Have not had the chance to visit the forum much as I stay mostly on the RCF forums. I always had great conversations with you over that topic. I remember, you bought an NSX. I am wondering if you still have the NSX? How are you liking it?

 

Thanks Rolla,
Yes, the Gen 2 NSX just past 8 years old and about bit over 15,000 mile. Wonderful car.
I added an LC500 Convertible just over 4 years ago, really a lot of fun and a great cruiser.
And to cover the electric world, I got a Lucid GT-Performance (over 1000 HP) a bit over 2 years ago. Incredible car, we'll see how the company does now that they have the Gravity SUV in the line up.

 

Thanks. Great to hear your NSX is going strong. Definitely, a very impressive garage you have there. That 1050 HP Lucid must be insane level of performance.
