#1 - Porsche 951 Turbo - HEAVY mods. Better than a theme park ride. 350 RWHP @ 2800 lbs... YEEE HAWWW





#2 - BMW E36 - HEAVY mods. After thousands invested, it turned out one slick whip. Drove great.






#3 - Mercedes CLK 430 Sport Coupe. Overall excellent car, current daily driver.

The RX350 I'm driving now. I literally can't find a thing to complain about.
The RX300 I traded in for it. A few minor annoyances, but 114K miles without a single unscheduled trip to the mechanic.
The 1996 RAV4 I traded in on that. After 20 years of American crap, what an eye-opener.

1. I've owned a couple of MKII Range Rovers. Which included a Green 4.0 SE and Blk and Red 4.6 HSEs. I grew up watching my uncles beat those around. So you know I had to have one. Lots of headaches and strife but I wouldn't change a thing for those experiences. Ah the good times.

2. My Mom gave me her old Jag. A beautiful but problematic XJ6. You couldn't tell me Sheeeet. I only drove the thing for 2 months. Terrible engine. I'll leave it at that. As you can see the Brits weren't good to me.

3. I lean real hard in this sexy coupe called Blue Hefner. You know it as the SC430. The ladies call it Baja Panty. First convertible that I've ever owned myself. Nuff Said, ya dig.

BTW first Lexus I've ever owned........and I plan to do it again.

In no partioular order:

1) My 1999 Lexus RX300 AWD- enough reasons
2) 1990 BMW 325ic- beautiful vehicle (wonderful in Florida) and hardly gave me a single issue over the 5 years I had it.
3) 1979 Chevrolet Nova- for all the issues domestic cars have, this one vehicle I will never forget, despite being modified later on, it was an absolute beast and very durable.

1) My 01 IS300 my first Lexus, and after 6yrs of ownership I still enjoy driving my car. May trade it in for the ISF in a couple of years.
2) My 06 GS300 Love the styling and ride of this car it's a keeper for awhile.
3) My 07 Tacoma Double Cab TRD sport wow is this really a truck!! It rides so smooth, it's night and day difference from the last 2 Nissans trucks I owned, and Chevy S-10 piece of junk.
