its going to be my wifes daily driver car. She asked already for rims, and i told her whatever SHE pays for she can do to it lol.
the car has cf tint, and i did put in an amp and a 12" in it, but thats about as far as im doing.

Next week i should be buying myself a GS300, this is the one i have my eye on, if i get this one she may get these wheels and im going to put staggered ones on it

I take it the SC is gone? or is your garage quickly becoming an older Lexus dealership?

I sold the SC a while ago to do some stuff i wanted to do to my house, laminate floors and new furniture and things. Ive said since before then that i would def have another lexus though. Its a great time to buy cars if you have the opportunity, so I'm buying 2 lol.

when i had my car engine rebuilt, lexus of nashville let me have the rent a car.. it was a 09 GS350.. OMG, i totally fell in love with the GS350.. i mean everything about it, power wise, interior, so comfy... i wish i could get one.. but down deep in my heart.. i have a thang for IS300's.. and i love my car with every minute of it.. =o].. but the power-wise sucks when coming from a built kenne bell s/c ford lightning with 600hp to a lil inline-6 is300... i just did it for the looks, and sport luxury.. haha.. but, i do miss all the power and torque to play with... will eventually get another lightning one day!..

ok im done.

yea, the car prices are negotiable as of right now.. so its a good thing to buy a car now!

i hear ya on that, i had a silver 01 Lightning, nothing like it. But if you want to carry more than two people or get more than 11mpg... She had to go when 93 got up to $4.50-ish a gallon around here, gas payment was too much for me. And she was still a baby, only 29k miles when i sold her
