As I look back on some of my past "cool to me cars" I would start with a 74' GTO, it was the Nova style with the shaker hood scoop. The gas mileage was awful getting 8 mpg and we were in the middle of the long gas lines. Unloaded that for a 76" Cutlass Supreme with the Hurst T Tops. Great car until, while being in for a routine service someone broke the passenger side glass top and it leaked from that day on. The last 2 cool cars I had were Corvettes, an 07' C6 and a 16' C7. Of the 2 the C6 was the better car IMO. In the middle of my C7 ownership was when I first spotted the 2018 LC 500. It was a dream car at the time since I would have no chance of being able to afford to purchase one. In Dec. of 2019 I decided to get on the wait list for a C8 Corvette. That lasted for 15 month's and still could not get an allocation. Drove by my local Lexus dealer and it just so happened they had a Certified 2019 LC the next day it was mine. Needless to say, I have not regretted for a second cancelling my C8 order. There is a strong chance the LC is my forever cool car

It was probably the TFL guys out of Boulder CO, I've done a few videos with them on my LC and their FJ Cruiser (I wrote the FJ buy/sell guide on FJCruiserForums). My other car hobby is offroading and they do a lot of offroading videos.

Currently have a bunch of random toys, including my 550 Maranello, manual V8 Vantage, air-cooled Porsche 911, Honda S2000, etc. Pic of my man cave attached

I did get rid of my manual 360 Modena earlier last fall before ordering my LC 500 Coupe.

Impressive lineup! Just curious - why did you get rid of the IS500 ? I've got an IS500 coming in next month. I've only seen 1 so far in the GTA!

Honestly, it wasn't that I didn't like it, but I didn't fall in love. I think my expectations were too high in that I thought it would be a four-door LC 500, which it was not. The build quality was very much entry-level, and the chassis wasn't quite as dynamic as I'd like. I got great money selling it six months and 5,000km(ish) later. I still will turn my head every time I see one because it's wicked that it exists, but it just wasn't the car for me. Mine was the first one delivered in Canada (#62). I sold it and ordered a Nori Green LC 500 the next day.
