Just got a 1994 Es 300 :)

I'm back! I used to have a 98 Gs4, but sold it for a 2000 S500. Now i got this ES 300 as a daily driver. It has 147,000 miles and seems to run pretty good so far!

Just don't race, pedal to the metal (slam on the gas), etc. Drive with care, then your ES will not die on you.

so what are some signs that it may be going bad? when i first start the car, it does not start up smooth...the starter seems like it has to work extra hard to start the car...but then subsequent starts are smooth. also, everyonce in awhile, when i turn the wheel, i hear sortof a pop sound coming from the front suspension..somewhere...as if some bolt is loose somewhere?
