Default I wonder what kind of car this is


I've been trying to get a picture of this car for two years now. I see it driving around my area but I never get the camera out before it takes off

Supposed to be a clickable thumbnail. Weird that it's not opening in Full size for you. Browser issues. I'll put it on a link for you. I was having issues with the attachment feature earlier. Looks like i got it finally.

I thought it was a joke, but he has been driving it like that for years.

hmmm this is a head scratcher, it would help if there was some kind of marking or decal that could give us a hint

and nice getting the 400 in the shot too haha, whatever's behind it really seems to have taken its design inspiration from that

It's a Lexus LS400. The car behind it remains a mystery...

Is no one going to talk about the Best Body Boot Camp sign and the fat furnace graphics?

Wasn't that the LS model that didn't have chromed tailpipes? Conflicting photos and memory.

Not a big deal. I would much rather have the make and model spelled out on the side than those hideous 'eye lashes' people put on their cars. I cringe just thinking about those.
