Oh I Miss My LS
On sunday I went to a Lexus Meet here in the northeast with my new car. I was fine at first because I only saw SC's, GS's, and IS lexus cars. Then comes this sweet, lowered, kitted, and clean 98-00 LS, I think I almost fell apart. I started thinking about my old car and how much time and effort I put into it and what the finish product looked like. No matter how much I love my new car, my LS was my baby.
It was greenvy2k here is his ride
Has this happen to anyone else here?

You guys may think I'm nuts, but I love 2nd Gen Maximas. Was my first car, I've owned three of them so far. The last time I was almost killed in one (someone T boned me).
Still, my love for that car is so much that I'm definitely gonna get another one. And turbo it. And convert the interior to nice grey leather. And drop it.

The LS is a hard car to replace.
As of right now i have one wheel with a broken wheel stud AGAIN !
One wheel that is factory as my rear rim bead separated and has to be fixed AGAIN!
BUT I finally got the air suspension heights ,pressures and dampening set perfectly . It now floats down the road but not in corners and i love it.
I just got the exhaust redone to allow the car to drop another inch without stopping it.
Oh yah i am still waiting on a rear knuckle ,a front wheel bearing and don;t feel like dumping $600 on both upper control arms right now as well as some free strut rod replacements . After that is done I'll throw on my 15mm KICS spacer out back for the stance .
So you could be dumping money in it like me just to get a Lexus ride instead of spending to pass a 993 .
One day you'll have speed and luxury , for now you get to pass luxury every 3 seconds .

Thanks guys for trying to make me feel better, but you all still have your LS's. The funny thing is, I tried to make to make the vette look like the LS giving it that clean, classy look, but it just looks mean.
Thanks Truck for posting that link, that really helped, NOT.

Dang Stefan, how are you goin to come down here to the ATL for Lexfest, get me all hyped about getting a LS after you and SK gave me a double dose of what a modded LS could look like (before I saw yours, I always thought the LS was for old farts), then when I get one, you sell yours?! Well, at least you got a C5
