I lost probably one of my best friends today, and it hurts that I'll never be seeing him for eleven years.

$3200.
I was at school when it was all finished and done, I knew that my dad was going to sell it, but I never thought it would be so fast.

I came home from school today wondering where the car was. And I thought, oh, mom is probably driving it because both Lexus' were gone. Dad takes the LS430 because he has to break the car in.

My mom was sleeping inside on the couch.

It's gone. :'(

That's my car now, but it'll never replace the bond I had with the LS4.

Hehe I know what you mean... even with the grief I had with my car (blown turbos) and I've found a 99 GS3 going for a good price, I still can't get myself to part with my Soarer (after 3 years of ownership)... she's my baby!

Thanks for all the support you guys. I think I'm getting over it. I've looked up Dinan mods for the new Valvetronic V8 in my (weird saying that) car. It's making me a bit happy to see I can get another 5+hp/torque easily out of the car by just doing some quick mods.

I guess 1SickLex, instead of just competing with my old LS400 agianst the S5's and S430's, I'll just have to blow them out of the water with our LS430.

Ultra Luxury package will make you cream.
