Solo's old car! Ouch!
Sorry Solo,
I don't know the cat who bought your car, but I've seen it at a few meets after you sold it. Sad to see it being parted out!

Sorry if this is a repost.

Not a repost, but a very sad ending to a car that had A LOT of history with photo & magazine coverage. The car went through several owners and of course I see from the pics there are only remnants of some of the "good" parts and many other changes that the new "owners" did to downgrade it.

I'll be honest, it's a bit sad to see the first build end-up like this. But, I see opportunity for any serious IS300 builders. There are tons of parts on this car that has not been damaged.

Why didnt you take the parts off and part them out yourself? I mean at least the custom parts, you know you could have sold them quickly
man I wish I had some extra cash... I'd snag the whole UAS kit for a spare

Actually, I'm not the owner of this car when this happened.. I sold this car 3 years ago. It was my first build.

Sad to see our old cars fading away. I heard that my former GS had the front (Tom's) bumper squashed in LA a few weeks back.

Oh my. I hope your car never see's a similar fate. I know my old car ended up in Oklahoma and the 3rd owner could not afford to replace the larger diameter tires so he bought smaller rims and put 15's on.
