Started with a 1990 Nissan 300ZXTT in pearl yellow built up to Stage III...sorry no pics. Then moved to a 1991 Nissan 300ZXTT the was built up to Stage V. Sold the ZTT and picked up a 1993.5 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo. Built this car up to make 813WHP and 666WTQ. Got bored after about 3yrs and sold it. Local car scene wasnt progressing too much at the time and didnt have many races besides domestics. Picked up a 2004 Suzuki GSXR600 when I had the Supra Turbo at the same time as well. Did it up as a Ben Spies race replica. Picked up a 2001 Nissan Frontier so I could tow the bike for track days. Lost interest in bikes for abit so sold it.
Had the Frontier for while and then got the idea to build and SC300 so picked up 1995 Lexus SC300. Just did cosmetics to it. X'd that build plan and sold it to get back on a bike. Picked up an 2007 Honda CBR600RR. Wife wanted a new truck for us so sold Frontier and picked up and 2008 Nissan Titan. It was lifted already so just changed out the wheels and did the normal exterior lighting mods. Lost interest in bikes again and sold the CBR600RR. Along comes our beautiful baby boy so sold the Titan and picked up the 2009 Lexus IS250 for the wife. She soon outgrew it and gave it to me and we picked her up and 2009 Acura MDX...and thats where we are at now. No pics of MDX yet but all she wants is a wheel change and put some all terrain tires on for snowboarding trips.

My IS250 replaced my 2011 Mercedes C300, the mercedes was really boring, I really loved the looks but the quality just wasn't there and after almost 30k miles the car felt like it falling apart. On the upside it was a great long distance car and the leasing was amazing. And before the C300 I had a 2008 G35 Sedan which fell had a lot of engine and transmission problems. So far after 4 months of ownership I love the IS250 it is by far the best car I have owned. Its so refined and engaging to drive. Im hoping to keep her for at least 8 years.

My first post here.
I have less than a week since I got my 2010 Lexus IS 250.
It replaced my 2000 Acura TL.
It early to make judgements yet but I miss quite a lot of things from my acura:
1. Acura it's build like a tank. The quality on the interior is way better than my new lexus.
2. I miss my Bose sound system from Acura. My biggest disappointing so far is the sound system in Lexus.
3. I miss the low seat position from my Acura. I cound't find a nice setting on Lexus. The seat it's just too high even when way low. I'm 6'2 and basically I can see only half of the windshield and the mirror blocks the other half.
But I hope I'll get used to some of those. I do enjoy some technology features this little toy has
My Lexus replacement. Still in my driveway
