Been cruising this forum from time to time, decided I may as well become a member so I can do some posting. I recognize some of my fellow LOC members here - good to see. At the LOC, my user name is eatingupblacktop. CL won't let me use it here because it's too long I guess, so I've shortened it to EUBT.
Took some pics of my LS early last fall. It's amazing how many comments I get about it looking like a 3 - 4 year old car. It's got 265,000 KM now. So far, I've replaced the starter, a/c high side hose, and repaired the trunk wiring harness. Still have to clean out the mess of disintegrating foam between the rad and condensor. Someday I'll get around to doing the climate control display as well.
Everything is stock. No mods - no aftermarket! Need new tires - maybe around springtime. Like the idea of cooled seats - will have to wait until I get a 430. When I do, the 400 will prob become a project car. Engine teardown, suspension overhaul, etc. Wife wants this car to last forever. Was going to do that with the Volvo, but decided it wasn't worth it. Before getting the 430, I'll be looking at a gen1 SC. Always liked the original design and what they can look like modded. Well guys and gals, here's my baby. Nothing you haven't seen before, but a fair example of what these cars can look like when you take care of them.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I think this one's going to be a marathon.
I saw a post somewhere, I think it was at the LOC, in the op's sig he had at least four of them listed and some that he had sold. Would love to start a collection like that. One of each gen. In this economy and with most of the depreciation done on the older models, it's doable and very tempting. But then again, everytime a nice SC1 drives buy I change my focus. But definitely need more than one Lexus. lol
