Default I wonder what kind of car this is


I've been trying to get a picture of this car for two years now. I see it driving around my area but I never get the camera out before it takes off

Seems like an LS 430 to me. I mean, I think so, have you checked the big decal on the side?

Supposed to be a clickable thumbnail. Weird that it's not opening in Full size for you. Browser issues. I'll put it on a link for you. I was having issues with the attachment feature earlier. Looks like i got it finally.

I thought it was a joke, but he has been driving it like that for years.

hmmm this is a head scratcher, it would help if there was some kind of marking or decal that could give us a hint

and nice getting the 400 in the shot too haha, whatever's behind it really seems to have taken its design inspiration from that

It's a Lexus LS400. The car behind it remains a mystery...

Wasn't that the LS model that didn't have chromed tailpipes? Conflicting photos and memory.

Not a big deal. I would much rather have the make and model spelled out on the side than those hideous 'eye lashes' people put on their cars. I cringe just thinking about those.
