I get asked too many times if I'm going to swap in a 2JZ then tell them I have one already and look at the puzzled look on their face when you pop the hood because its still a N/A motor
I was asked if it was a new 350Z when I was in the drive though
Recently ordered new floor mats at the dealer and I was asked why I painted my car that color and got in an arguement with the service guy that its factory paint(RSP)
Sunroof only like to open and close half way at times
Almost feels like doors need to open an extra 15 degrees
Accidently hit change CD instead of track and wait forever for it to change back to the previous CD
Spend hours trying to find a burn out bulb because you refuse to go to the dealer
Not much fits in your aged cup holders
Keep finding new things about your car every so often
Friends ask why everything, lights, windows, plastic on your car says Toyota when its a lexus
Get excited when you see another SC and your friends/family looks at you wierd
One simple mod takes ripping your car halfway apart and much longer then you expected
You have an auto and are always looking for 5-speed parts

Haha, funny thread.
I was parking at Starbucks the other day and a lady with a relatively new accord says "Watch where you park, I've got lots of damage on my car already from other drivers. You don't want to damage your new car..." LOL

THIS might be the most accurate thing yet, everytime in the middle of a conversation I'm always like "MAN NICE SC OVER THERE!!!" And i get the freakin' weirdest looks from whoever is around me, then I proceed to stare at that SC for a long time instead of re-engaging whatever conversation we were in the middle of hahaahaha.

- You hate telling people how much you REALLY paid for your ride.
- When looking for after market parts, you dont look under Lexus>SC>300 you look under Toyota>Supra>TT.

hahah good summary, but dont forget my favorite one...
"you're passengers ask you why the hell you have the HEAT on in the summer when you drive with the windows down. You have to explain to them that your car is retarded and lets the heat from the tranny and engine escape through the footwells and shifter consoles."

The summary makes it much better! I always get asked about that empty cup holder slot and everyone tries to fit their cell phone in their with no luck. And I always press the ECT like it was nitrous, just the act of doing it feels so cool lol. And I always get the shifting brake pads too!
I've never had anyone call my SC a 240SX, but its almost like an insult don't you think? This is a LEXUS!
Does anyone have a faulty volume control ****? Whenever I attempt to turn the volume down really fast, instead of decreasing volume, it blares it momentarily until it continue moving.
LOL, this thread is incredibly amusing.
