Do people still compliment you on your car?? Yes they do!!
Jut thought I would share this with you. This past weekend I had my car out to a show and shine and left it sitting in the drive way. My new neighbour was out front cutting the grass and I noticed he was cutting mine!! The nerve of some people! Anyway I went out to give him a piece of my mind, ( with beer in hand ) and he was complimenting me on my car so I showed him how the top worked and he went into his house and called out his wife and kids to see the neighbour's car!! They thought it was so cool. :D ( he quite enjoyed the beer ). Of course it made me feel good to hear the praise. I just love it when ever I get to drive the car and lots of folks at the show & shine were impressed as well. Never won anything, got beat by a 1980 Camaro, bone stock plain jane?? I was put in the 1980 & newer stock class. :uh:

Hah.. thats awesome; unfortunately its not a racecar and has begun to fall behind in the performance category but when its time to turn heads, the SC excells :D

Its a lexus, you don't want it to sound like a race car. You want it to sound sweet.

I just wish it was a little faster from factory.. If lexus dropped the 460 w/the 8 spd; If my SC was as fast as a 335 BMW, I'd be a happy camper :D |
Feedback
I still routinely get comments / questions
-an older gentleman pulled up next to me at a red light; went out of his way to flag me down to say 'nice wheels!' (yesterday) -was gliding past a local drinking establishment a few days back and had a table of women swivel their necks and make catcalls (and as only my head is visible, I give the car most of the credit, ha!) Regarding performance / BMW comparison, my buddy's got some sort of 550 something or other (pedestrian looks, ha). He's poked me about his car's performance since I got my 2003. Last week we left an establishment together and torched a block or three. It was quite competitive but I beat him to the next light; but I suppose the fact that neither of us is really a speed freak might have tainted the outcome. |
I also compliment an SC when I see one, just returning a favor. I can spot one miles ahead.

I've had mine for 10 years, and just received a compliment last month at a gas station as I was driving to Atlanta, and after 5 hours on the highway, the car, with the top up, did not look its best. Also, the gentleman found it hard to believe the car was ten years old.
I may keep it for a while longer. |
What was the ATL trip for, business?
When you look at the rear mirror at a stop light, watch the people behind you...they talk and point at your car and smile....have you ever noticed? |

Well not really because my current Lexus is stock and the GS300 I just sold was a sleeper, I only had it on coils on the stock 16's. But Ive gotten performance compliments.
|
...i still get compliments on mine regularly...although it's basically still bone stock,I try to keep it very clean

My dental hygienist saw me pull into the parking lot this morning and put the top up.. she complimented the car and said she wasn't charging me NEARLY enough for cleanings <lol>.
On the way home, two guys in a truck, real construction types, gave me the thumbs up.. didn't see THAT coming! :eek2: |
MANDY: "What was the ATL trip for, business?"
MOI: "Objection - irrelevant." CADDYOWNER: "Sustained." |
Being from Vermont, there's not many other SC430s around except for one in the same area, same color too! :mad:
Anyways...I get compliments all the time and I'm always asked what year it is and when I tell them it's a 2002...they look shell shocked! :D Love this car! |
