Default " Love affair" w/ the SC still exist ?.



I think of my SC more of a luxury cruiser than sports car. More HP would be nice but when I toss the keys to one of my sons, I don't worry about it being wrapped around a pole.
(I have owned older 528i's and RX7's (TII and convertible) so appreciate the ride/handling aspect of a car more than the V8 headsnap :+)
The styling really is timeless. When I brought my car home and had it on the driveway, several of my neighbors thought it was brand new!!

Sidenote...do jonas's RX and tomkenney have the same license plate??

Agreed. Did the kids leave their legs at home?

I love the car and the possibilities of personalizing it. Recently added a CAI.

I kind of have one of those too...funny thing is I bought the model years before I actually had an SC430. It was a gift for my son. At the time I didn’t even know about the car. Then when I bought the first one, my son handed me the model, LoL.
the model is a 2004, Absolute Red.

...thank you sir for the compliment !!!....I really love my Sc & it definitely turns heads, when I take it for a ride. Planning to take care of the hail dings & do some touch up (paint chips), during the winter months......also a few other subtle mods coming up

....this is what I'm thinking about doing.......it's the factory spoiler, but it has been molded in, giving it the look of something aftermarket

Wow, I see there are still tons of Luv for the SC after
the car has been discontinued for 8 years!

I wondered when the LC 500 gets discounted if
the following will be as strong.

What a pity the SC has stopped in 2010
