On sunday I went to a Lexus Meet here in the northeast with my new car. I was fine at first because I only saw SC's, GS's, and IS lexus cars. Then comes this sweet, lowered, kitted, and clean 98-00 LS, I think I almost fell apart. I started thinking about my old car and how much time and effort I put into it and what the finish product looked like. No matter how much I love my new car, my LS was my baby.

It was greenvy2k here is his ride



Has this happen to anyone else here?

I had a '65 Barracuda long time ago, my first real car. Sold it when I joined the Marines. Saw one years later and bought it without even a test ride. Cars do grow on you.

You guys may think I'm nuts, but I love 2nd Gen Maximas. Was my first car, I've owned three of them so far. The last time I was almost killed in one (someone T boned me).

Still, my love for that car is so much that I'm definitely gonna get another one. And turbo it. And convert the interior to nice grey leather. And drop it.

Hey, I have a ridiculous affection for the 2nd-gen Cherokees(97-01). In my mind, they are the best SUV on the road. Makes perfect sense.

OH Stef, kid, dont you start this now. We had MANY conversations about that LS shortly before you got rid of it. You remember you were even considering getting rid of it for an SC430. Bruh,, you are like 6'7 and you wanted and SC. I told you before, that LS was your true identity and no matter how much you tried to deny how much you WEREN'T gonna miss it, I told you this was gonna haunt you. LOL!!! That car truly conveyed your personality,, calm, gentle, sophistocated, yet stylish, classy, and able to stay up with the masses. Yours was probably one of THE 3LS's here that everybody was trying to catch up to in the area of sophistocation. Well since you miss it so much,, let me take you back down memory lane. Here is YOUR thread for you, and everyone else who is not familiar to enjoy.

The LS is a hard car to replace.
As of right now i have one wheel with a broken wheel stud AGAIN !
One wheel that is factory as my rear rim bead separated and has to be fixed AGAIN!
BUT I finally got the air suspension heights ,pressures and dampening set perfectly . It now floats down the road but not in corners and i love it.
I just got the exhaust redone to allow the car to drop another inch without stopping it.
Oh yah i am still waiting on a rear knuckle ,a front wheel bearing and don;t feel like dumping $600 on both upper control arms right now as well as some free strut rod replacements . After that is done I'll throw on my 15mm KICS spacer out back for the stance .
So you could be dumping money in it like me just to get a Lexus ride instead of spending to pass a 993 .
One day you'll have speed and luxury , for now you get to pass luxury every 3 seconds .

he drives this now, the white vette.

Thanks guys for trying to make me feel better, but you all still have your LS's. The funny thing is, I tried to make to make the vette look like the LS giving it that clean, classy look, but it just looks mean.

Thanks Truck for posting that link, that really helped, NOT.

veritek

Dang Stefan, how are you goin to come down here to the ATL for Lexfest, get me all hyped about getting a LS after you and SK gave me a double dose of what a modded LS could look like (before I saw yours, I always thought the LS was for old farts), then when I get one, you sell yours?! Well, at least you got a C5

Anyones that pays $600 for UCA's in this day & age with the Armstrong option now available is crazy.
