Default Allow myself to introduce......myself. (picture heavy)

So 8 years later I'm back on these forums. Super happy about it too, met a lot of good people through the meets and such.

A little picture timeline of where I've been for 8 years.

I first joined with my 2004 Black on Black ML LS430













I then traded it in for a S2000 (also my daily driver tercel in the background)



and spent 6.5-7 years building it.






(NAX'S LS430 in the background)







Somewhere in between built a 2015 GSX-R 750



Bought a clean daily driver 1998 GS400 from a coworker and only put air suspension.







After selling the S2000 and GS400 to get ready to buy a house, I had a brief stint with a 2015 Mustang GT



I just sold it and purchased this 2004 Black on Saddle ML LS430 and although I don't want to spend a ton of money customizing it, I am pretty stupid and will probably do so anyways.
Unfortunately I'm already spending money on it between the detail and other OEM parts.





Hope to be on here more often and meet new Lexus enthusiasts.

You have great taste in cars and bikes but I could be biased

Yes I did, I looked at 3 blk/saddle in the past 4 months or so, and decided this car fit my needs at this point in my life.
