I was gonna sink her and put her out of her misery, but I'm going to string her along for a few more miles.

He wants to commit suicide due to the fact that he his 30k miles and everyone knows 30ks miles is where lexus falls apart. Having a mortgage, bills, etc, he can't afford maintainance on a lexus, therefore he's going to say goodbye to the world.







I like the colors of the car.

Hey Chuck, I think I'm the only other 2001 GS in Metallic Pine Pearl on the board, and I've got less than 26K on mine.

What do I win?

Hey, my `98 is at 208K+ miles and I don''t call her old. She's just getting into her prime years. I expect another 100k-140k before she's ready to retire (hopefully - that's when my kids will be out of college).

Chuck, mine is five years and seven days old.

Zero mods, in excellent condition mechanically. However, the body and bumpers are dying a slow death from city parking and the valets in my condo's garage.

If I posted pics, y'all would weep uncontrollably.
