Smile Massive 56k warning...

...coming to a gallery near you.

Okay so my car's got these numerous scratches...
When I got the first scratch just a couple months after I bought the car I was so mad and swore I wouldn't take any pictures of my car until I got it fixed. But then laziness kicked in. As time went by it got more and more scratches and I soon became more and more afraid of taking pictures of the car as I, being kind of a perfectionist, thought it would've been a disgrace to it.
But when I woke up today and suddenly realized that I have not even one pic of my car in the entire two years, I was like, "what the hell...it'll be better that I do it today than regret it another two years later!"

And therefore...here you go...you don't see very many blue 3rd-gen ES300's on the road, you know.
Thanks sick for helping me out with a stupid mistake I made while uploading the pics.

Remember to click on the pics to see them in full size in new windows.

...and thanks for your time and comments. (Okay so these are from a dummy automatic camera...gotta get myself something with a shutter speed control. )

Nice pics of your 3rd-gen ES. It may be due to your camera, but it seems like it's hard to capture the true color of the Blue Onyx (appears to be black in some of the pics)

Thanks.
Well yes, the Blue Onyx looks black even to the bare eyes sometimes. It's simply a very, very dark, blue.

Under direct sunlight it's quite difficult to tell from a distance that the blue hue on the car is a result from the blue sky or from the paint.

Under a low-light condition, however, the blue hue would seem to glow by itself in the dark and lends a very rich, jewel-like feel to the car. Too bad I don't have a camera with enough manual controls to capture that (okay, so the truth is that I don't have half brendanlim's skills ).

Nice ride! Glad to see some pics of the 3rd gen ES.

Been a while since I posted a pic. Thanks for inspiring me to go out and take some pics of mine so that I can share them with the ES forum.

I shall return with some pics (when I get the car washed first)!

Keep up the good work!

Beautiful interior. I've always thought the ES has the richest interior of any Lexus product...including the LS.
