This is gorgeous! Mazda’s red paint is spectacular in the sun.

That is a sweet car. Every time I see an E39, no matter what model, I admire it. Especially with the angel eye headlights. I'm actually on the lookout for an E39 530i 5 speed that isn't beat up but that's going to be nearly impossible to find.

Sorry friend. I do not find this car attractive in any way. High quality, absolutely. I admire that there were multiple I6 options in the Toyota version. Kudos to the V8 version

I think the styling of more modern Lexus are better than the 1990s.

pretty sure only the century came with the V12, which was basically two JZ engines sharing a crankshaft

There was a V8. Not really sure all the generations. The new one has the LS600 hybrid V8 and EV motors

Maybe not gorgeous, but unique. Especially for those Transformer movie fans. This was an entertainer in New Orleans doing his thing. It's funny and ingenious. Just click on the link below and watch. It's pretty short.

Unique car idea.

ron can you embed the image or give more details about the link please? Unique isn't enough of a description to get folks to click on it, and risky.

I don't know how. Tried but can't seem to figure out. Can't find any help threads describing how. I'm not sure why it's risky. ??

It's just a YouTube link.

So how about adding a description what folks are going to see when they click on your "Unique" link. URL seems to point to best guitar street performer but I'm not clicking it out of an abundance of caution

I clicked on it. It's one of those cute yellow Tonka trucks you had as a kid except it's a boy underneath it. Pretty neat idea I must admit.
