Default Quick Pic

Don't think ive ever posted a picture of my car on here before, so figured i would..don't mind the bad picture, it was with a phone. The car is my pride and joy and my first car. Bought it from my dad with 110k in July Only things done to it are 35% tint all around and all led lights inside, maybe hid low beams soon. Its a 2001 es300 with 133039 miles exactly.

its metallic gray? on black with a wood and leather wheel. I wash the car at least once a week, really wish my dad did to though, 10 years of WNY winters and salt took its toll on the paint before i got it

Haha, i love it, and i didn't even know your color combo existed back in 93, nice. Your car is my age. On a side note, i was almost afraid to post my car with everyone else putting up pics of their modified ones, but i figured a clean stock es300, in some peoples' eyes, is just as good as a modified one to others

Side note, none of the letters or numbers light up in the shift column anymore (ex. 1-p) any one know how to access these?

Paint isn't bad at all, just when i got it, my dad never really "cleaned" it. You should have seen the clay bar i used my first time using it. Now the paint is great, just regret it not being this nice all the time. I should say the hood has been repainted due to a small fender bender, and the front bumper is brand new, some dumb *** in a ford expedition backed into my car at bout 5 mph

Well said. I definitely think a clean car is a clean car, whether it's still 100% stock or it's been tastefully modded - with "tastefully" being the operative word.
Who knows, you may be the youngest member of this forum group and I may be the oldest, but we all have something in common here: an appreciation for one of the best cars ever made.
