I hope your Va. stands for Virginia. Moonshine capital of the world.
Indeed, I am in Virginia. Where I live is actually the data center capital of the world... literally. But I was visiting friends in my hometown that weekend and decided to take the opportunity to take some photos other than in a shopping center parking lot for a change.

There was a school there last time I was in town.

A one room schoolhouse??
The background makes the photo. Too many of just the car in a parking spot at the local mall. I like to see them in the wilderness where ya can just cruise.

Default My new baby


Just got this 1990 completely stock except the $50 18"s for $1800. Besides the stereo system I put in I also put an intake, coilovers, turn signal lights, painted the bottom dark metal until I get my body kit and I cut off the whole exhaust after the headers. (And a few other little things).
I got alot to go but already see how fun these are to have.
Im looking for some 20"s if anybody's in the Reno Nevada area.

Wow that is an incredibly clean car. No paint nicks in the front, good body condition. In a great color too. And of course great pictures & color & highlights because of the late evening sun!

Also judging by the way those pictures look... it looks like you have a Pixel phone. It's just the way it does colors and manages to balance everything perfectly I can just tell. My Pixel takes photos exactly like that. It's like magic.

The camera does make a big difference on how the pics come out but you can still tell that that car is in great shape. Nice mirror image on the paint. Professional job cleaning it up, other then the little bit of break dust on the front wheels. (Sorry, I pick out the little things) Has it always been a Canada car? Miles?
I usually like keeping everything stock but I really love those wheels. Are those still 15s or did they go with a bigger rim?

It's probably a winter\summer tire set because Canada. They probably are 17's, there isn't much sidewall. Maybe 45 profile. Off of a newer lexus, not sure which.

Very true cuz those rims are definitely not used in the snow. (salt) I can't stop looking at this one cuz, for me, it has perfect ride height, color, and the glossy finish. Am wondering if it might have a the ceramic finish on it.

Yeah that is an exceptionally high quality example. Depends on the rest of the details and condition\problems of the rest of the car, and what the interior looks. But if the exterior looks that good the interior will be spotless. Car would easily go for 10k minimum on online auction with less than 100k miles & no major problems (but no doubt some stuff that does need to be done). One of the best I've seen in a long time.

The wheels are 17s. The 215/50 Toyo Celsius all-weather tires maintain the 25.5 inch diameter of the original 15s.

304k kms (189k miles). The car has been in Calgary since new. No ceramic finish on it. I use Lucas Oil Slick Mist after car wash to give it the shine. Only 5 minutes to apply.

Well, I guess it’s now my youngest son’s car so I’m breaking the rules.
