Default Proud Papa To Be!

Well, after much deliberation, I finally decided to take delivery of my new baby...a 2002 Millinium Silver SC430 with black leather and all the goodies! I should be picking it up tomorrow if all goes as planned. Some of you know that I was seriously considering (I put a deposit down) an '02 LS430, but in the end my '92 SC400 wanted a baby brother...so here we are!


Next up...Tein CS coilovers and 20" Work Rezax II's!

The dealer told me that the shipping truck has not picked up my SC from the port in LA yet! Now they're telling me I won't get my car until Monday or Tuesday...the suspense is killing me!!!

I know of what you speak. Before I got my SC last year, the day before the intended delivery day, my dealer informed me that the trunk shade was missing. It took more than a week to get the part as the car was sitting in the port.

Grock430 I just notice you have a '68 Caddy if its not too much trouble could you send me a picture of that car.. My dad had a 69 when we were kids and I bet he would love to see yours.. If you don't want to post here just email me at:

Manaray- I would love to get the Auto Couture kit, but I am leasing my car. Can the ACS kit be installed and taken off when I return the car? I'm not sure if you have to drill holes to install the kit or not.

Also, I'm pretty set on getting 20x10/20x9 Work Rezax II DDC Super Chrome (sorry Manaray, but I'm a chrome type of guy ) and most likely I will get the Tein CS coilovers as well.

Well, after a full week of endless suspense...my SC has finally arrived! I wasn't even expecting it today since the dealer called me yesterday and said it probably won't be in until Monday (probably a sales tactic...now they think they exceeded my expectations!). Anyway, I will be going to the dealer to pick it up this evening!
