Post Previous Rides

My first car:

1989 Celica GT Convertible. My high school cruiser/chick mover.



Sold it to buy this:

1988 Celica All-Trac Turbo. Fully built engine, FMIC, T04E-46, the works. Perfect AWD sleeper. No one ever knew it was fast. Surprised the HELL out of many Hondacura owners.





After way too many mods (including no interior/ac/radio/back seats) I decided I needed a daily car so I bought this:

1990 Celica GT-S Widebody.

Reliable, dirt cheap and sweet body for what it was. Free widebodies = good. 18" Volk Racing GT-P's filled the fenders real nice. Full custom interior, competition sound. One of my faves. The SC being the fave of course.



I was born a Toyota man and I will die one.

My 1993 Mazda RX-7. Lightly modded suspension, brakes, and a few go-fast goodies. Even at 10 years old, this car was amazing. Dearly missed.....

I noticed that. The BBS RX is a great wheel, and I really liked how it looked on my RX-7

Here's a close up of the wheel

Since my previous car had a lighting modification, I guess it qualifies here

My 1996 Lexus ES300 black/black Coach Edition (perhaps one of the rarest and most classic Lexus around). This car gave me the much needed push into CL and the modding potential on a Lexus. I owe it all

Nazty-

Beautiful 300ZX. Turbo/non-turbo? I take it from the R.I.P. it didn't meet a good end? Accident or sale, I don't know if I could have parted with a clean ZX. Well, maybe for an SC.

CleanSC-

Widebody Celica=Hawt.

99GS300-

RX-7's have to be one of my top five cars of all time. And that's all I have to say about that.

I wish I had pics of my last car...88 Legend LS dropped on some 17's. That thing was an absolute joy in the corners. Couldn't unseat it for the life of me.

yeah, some foolio ran into on me on the hwy and crashed me into a stalled bonneville at 75mph backwards (after a spin),... so I'm blessed to still be around in the land of the living.....

...so the SC400 was a gift to myself, and the idea of gettin' another Z as clean / mint as the one I had was insane,...plus was associated mentally to the experience of living thru a crash like that,... I came over to Lexus, and not mad at all...
