Default Time for my third SC...

Some of you may remember me... Most of you may not. Once upon a time I owned a black 93 SC300 manual for 3 months before wrapping it around a tree at 85 mph.... Then I had another 93 SC300 manual.... same color, same interior, clone of a car. I drove it for two years before some bad decisions planted it into some obstacles on the side of the road. The first car totaled and went to the junkyard for crushing....

Moment of silence for a fallen SC....

The second one I bought back from the insurance after they totaled it. Rebuilt it myself, cleaned it up and made it awesome. I installed RSX seats, a removable steering wheel and a few other minor upgrades. but then... I had a baby.
I have a wonderful son Named Lyrik. He is the best thing that happened to me even though I ended up selling my car to support him. It has now been about six months since I sold the car. The kid who bought it from me put neon wheels on it and slammed it to the ground... then put an unpainted body kit on it and as far as I am concerned ruined the car more than the first one that went to the crusher.

I have missed my SC every single day since I sold it. To the point where I think I have issues lol. Well now it is time to solve all of that.
Later today I am picking up an SC400. 1994 with 135k on the clock. Good condition except for it being recently totaled. The frame is straight and for those of you who do remember me you know that a wrecked car is not more than an afternoon project for me. So this is the deal.

500 bucks is getting me an SC400 that needs a fender, a bumper, and a headlight. It will have a dirty title. But that's nothing when you rebuild it yourself. And do it right. Sorry for babbling but I am very excited to become active on the forums again.. I have missed all of you.. Gadget, Cherplex, OLT, I look forward to seeing you guys cars again and watching you put people in their places when they can't understand the site or the community.

I guess what I am trying to say here is....
Its good to be back...

Welcome back... And please be careful/drive the Sc, with care now that you have a son/family. Bad news, if I don't recall several months ago member Cherplex had a engine problem and parted out his Sc.

If you enjoyed your SC's enough to go through the trouble of rebuilding it from the ground up then you should go for it
