New to the forums

Hey everyone, just thought I would introduce myself. My name is Bob (Robert) and yes I am half Korean and half Italian. My friends gave my nickname "asianbob" a long time ago and it just stuck. I am new to the Toyota/Lexus scene but not new to the car scene. I have had my fair share of cars since I've had a license. To name a few I've had a Scion tC, a couple s13 coupes as well as hatches, an s14, a couple eg civic hatches boosted of course, a gc8 with an 06 STI swap, a 2001 BMW 325xi, a 2008 BMW M3, and since I've been in Okinawa I've had an FC3S, Honda Fit, R32 GTR, and finally my current car...2000 silver Toyota Aristo with of course the 2JZGTE. I just picked it up two days ago bone stock and I love it. I did however order some JIC VIP coilovers and 19" Work Schwert SC1's already. I don't have pics of her yet but I will get some over the weekend and post them up. I've been creeping on this forum for a bit but now that I actually have one I figured I would join. So far I've seen a lot of good stuff on here on pretty much every aspect of the car. I hope to contribute some stuff here and there to the community here!

Thanks! I desperately need my wheels and coilovers to come in already though! I'm very impatient. I'll get some better pics of it when it's not raining.

Thanks for the welcome everyone! Just found out my wheels and coilovers are in! Unfortunately I'm on 24 hour duty so I can't pick them up yet. Only 6 more hours left, then a quick nap and I'll go get them!
