Default Fleet photos, post yours!

So I had a rare occurance today and had 3 of my flagship cars in one place, naturally I decided to waste 30 min pulling them into the driveway all fancy and kicking the Jeep out for a minute.

At some point I'm going to try and do all of the flagships at once including my grandpas mint 06 LS430, the other two I want to do is a mass formation of all 8 Lexus cars in my friend group in a flying "V" and a lineup of all the V8 cars at my dads house since we can get all 9 of them in a line on his driveway. His can do about 20 Mine can only do 6.

Anyway here are a few pictures I just took, I wanted them to be nicer than normal so I actually pulled out my new in box iPhone 12 lol! Normally I just use my 6s....

Very nice color variety! I'm very boring with mostly silver, I like the black on the Polestar2. Camry is in crazy good shape for that year as well, they never hold up like that out here!

Very nice and classy, I suspect we have similar visual tastes in cars going on what you have now and in your sig line.

I always found it interesting how Chrysler products like the vans and Jeeps often share garages with WAY more expensive cars. My dad had a loaded 2004 JGC and a ML500 concurrently new, the Mercedes was so bad it a still a point of comedy. Had to be towed out of the garage 3 times.....broke down on road 2 times. My dad used to trade cars the second they left warranty but the Mercedes was so bad he got rid of it in two years.

Yep, 17 years old, nearly 200k! My daughter won't give it up until it's dead. V6 still smooth as butter, still no oil or transmission leaks! We don't have to worry about salt eating up the paint or under carriage.

And thanks 😊

I actually have 4 lol!

I like them, they fly under the radar and are exceptionally comfortable with good handling and reasonably high usefulness due to the back seats. They are also extremely cheap for what you get these days with the SUV craze and that's a big plus since once I tried cars out I lost interest in Trucks/SUVs. They just drive so much better than the trendy breadboxes it's a no brainer for me

Its because they tend to feel upscale I think. So people who are accustomed to luxury vehicles feel comfortable in them.

For me, I’d rather have something much better but it’s a desire not to have $3,000+ in car payments and not to have a really nice family vehicle that gets destroyed.

Current "fleet". I love the CX-9, but I still prefer driving a sedan. If I ever get a second vehicle, it'll be a coupe or a sedan.



I miss my IS250.

Ah that makes sense. If I could I'd start a luxury sedan collection too.
