Thats interesting, I went to school in a not very weathly part of town and I expected everyone to be jealous to me because of my car. But what the exact opposite happened and everyone ended up being very cool there. I learned trick is to not mention it and let people ask first, just be humble and let them find out what you drive. Plus, chicks love a humble guy (heh and they love those lex's)

There is one pic in my signature. Copy and paste it. I have more if you want.
I think there are two sides to a Lexus. One is the fact that once you own one, it is just a car (although much better then I had anticipated). The other is the Lexus mystique (luxury car). Some people may believe that since it is a luxury car it is unobtainable with a normal budget.

I've mostly got good comments & admiration; one lady @ work says "Hi, Mr. L", since this is my second Lexus. There was 1 hater, I guess - don't know who, but they peeled out in the gravel lot and sprayed the back/driver's side of my RX330 w/ rocks, which resulted in numerous chips, when it was 5 days old. But it's all fixed, just like the movie Christine!

anytime some one asks me what kinda car i have i simply tell them its a sc300, most people will say ok and leave it at that. then there are the few that ask who makes it. I dont like going around saying i got a lexus, i grew up with a family that gloated about new cars and stuff, so i quickly learned not to.

Lexus haters?
With a couple of exceptions, most of the people on this Lexus forum (myself included) try to be friendly, reasonable, etc... and we DO congragulate our new members and their purchases. Want further proof ?..........talk to some ( but not all ) of the people who drive BMW's and Mustang GT / Cobras. Although there are indeed some nice ones there, too, overall, they don't impress me one bit...they really make you appreciate this forum.

Exactly. I am not loaded either - but I am a personal trainer and want a nice car to go along with the rest of the facade...lol. Your right, the first question is not: do you like it? But, it is: how much did you pay for it? If I say 12g they usually say, “Oh, I could have got that”. If I say more, they just stare at the car..lol.

I will. I can’t tell you how sick I am of that question. A lot of the time I can tell they want to ask it but they don’t. There is that 2 second stall - then the next question.

When I get asked how much I payed for my ride....I just tell them one of these: "I payed too much".....OR...."You don't want to know"....OR....."I don't remember". Somehow...they get the hint that I'm not going to tell them any dollar figure.
