My 99 Millennium Silver SC400 which I sold before I got my current Black Onyx 01 GS300. It was in amazing condition for having 130k miles. I miss it

I went from a '94 Volvo 850 Turbo sedan to a 2001 GS430. I loved the Volvo; it was the car I learned to drive on and it was fully loaded, fun, and totally reliable. In 20+ years of ownership it never failed to start or left me stranded. But parts availability became a serious issue, and I found myself getting gouged for parts (eg, $350 for a used headlight for a junkyard). It was hard to let go of; I donated it to NPR, of all places.

2003 G35 Coupe 6mt

To date the best car I've ever owned.. I'll probably never feel the same way about a car again in my lifetime I probably spent the most amount of money on this car in aftermarket mods.

I know how you feel.
I too had a G35 coupe that I loved.

Sold it before I got married and although my G35 sedan's awesome, it's not the same feeling the coupe had

The GS4 is a nice alternative though

Default In another life

An X 1/9

And my previous daily

The daily next to the only photo of my Exxie...covered :/

I work for Toyota and was a factory rep for a few years. So no need for a car then, but I still had a project X 1/9. Sold it in 2011. Can't find any damn photos, but it was red, like this one.
The white car is a Volvo 850R with turbo upgrade and supporting mods. Never dyno'd but 300whp is a guess. For a fwd car, it would hang with some real sports cars.

my fiat was a full mefasquirt turbo project using an uno turbo manifold, mistu eclipse turbo injectors, vw puller and pusher fuel pump. GM crank trigger and ford magnetic pickup (and many other mods) ��Sold it when I lived in MD for pennies on the dollar. ...I can't find any photos anywhere ��

Haha, yea, maybe a little.

The GS needed a few sensors (O2 and Oil Control Valve) and has a issue with the 'VSC' and 'VSC OFF' lights (still trying to find the exact pins to bridge to fix it, a lot of conflicting info on here), it had a few leather tears, needed tires and smelled like an ash tray.

Datsun had grip of new and "upgraded" bits.
