Celsior had a pretty good 2021, and starting off 2022 strong. Can't wait for the season to start back up. Please note pics with the chrome wheels back on was right before it was put in storage for the winter. All pics with the blue wheels were taken in 2021 Summer/Fall

Here's Some from 2022 so far... there is some changes on the way. I'm not doing much because I want to retain the spirit of the car and its so clean.

Default My New LS400

Hey guys this is my new first gen LS400.
I got this car two days ago with 130 K miles and this car is so clean.
This is my third car and I don’t even have my license yet I only have my permit at 15.
Any suggestions or advice would be much, much appreciated!

yes, if possible have one of your parents register and insure it in their name, and that you will NOT be the primary driver... i'm an insurance agent and i promise you don't want any insurance company thinking that some kid owns an old luxury car (or any car for that matter lol) and will start driving it around right after getting their license... have them call to insure it, don't be there, put the registration in their name, don't give anyone reason to think this is your car

with all that said, awesome choice! car looks great please look after it

Agreed with Stroock639, ins. in parents name. I did it all through my teens and twenty's and then did it for my own kids the same way. (so much cheaper)
I don't know your situation why this is your 3rd car but this is a real good car so it should be taken care of the best you can. Meaning, do the maintenance to keep it running right and it will last a long, long time. Don't think that it's a sports car just cuz it has a V8. It's a nice luxury boat to cruise in. I used to beat the crap outta my cars when I was your age. (The good 'ol days)
Some parts can be expensive so I hope ya get a good paying job.
Do some research here on the common problems and stuff, I can see already ya have a problem with the antenna and some lights.
The one thing that bugs me about those 90-92s are the rims. They're directional and, not sure by the angle of the pic, but the back rim looks like it's the wrong side.

Got to work on my 95 LS400 just this last Sunday, got the upstream 02 Sensors replaced along with a bad brake pad sensor.
Replaced the plugs with NGK Iridium IX plugs and replaced the bad hood struts on Monday.
