it was a big jump for me as well. 85 Cressida to 93 Camry XLE V6 to a 98 LS400. I don't think I will get a car that costs more than the LS from now on.

Of all the years that we had it, I never heard of it being mocked a "vette". That's funny.

Hey TLW, put up your dancing Spiderman
Any luck finding the other superheroes?

80 Datsun 200SX --> 91 Benz 300E --> 99 GS400

The funny thing is, is that the Datsun was more reliable then the Benz. Once something broke, it seemed like everything broke. Even though the car looked nice, after things kept going wrong, it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Plus even being a V6 it got worse gas mileage then the GS. I was so glad to get rid of that car.
