This is so god-damn sad... every last thing posted here applies to me except the compressor (but I have an a/c problem of my own which is getting to be a real problem to fix) and the imprezza comment. My head still hurts, I just laugh at the Solara thing and I pop the hood for any *** that asks if the engine (on my 400) is a Supra motor... making them look pretty damn slow.how about these:
What does the 400 stand for, four cylinder?
I think your exhaust is broken, that four cylinder sounds to loud.
Why don't you switch it to stick?
Why don't you switch that V8 to a V6? (Because if I wanted a V6 I would have bought a supra)
If gas costs so much why do you fill with nothing but 94?
Why does the third seat in the back feel funny? (because it's not a seat... moron)
Is that an LS400, wow why does it have only two doors? (come on for god's sake, it says SC400 not LS!)
Is it good on gas? (Yes, I drive an 8 cylinder from 92, I get about 9000Km/liter... ****)
Are you putting lambo doors on it? (I was going to the day of my accident, now i'm going to after my a/c is fixed, probally will get to it the day before we are all forced to buy eletric cars)
If I hear another one of these I will lose it...

...if you have well over 200,000 miles on it and say " I'm only half done".
...when you look down and it reads 145mph and you swear you weren't over 120!
...when you tell yourself everyday, "Damn I'm glad I didn't go for the BMW!"
This thread is awesome!

most of these, ive never had [i dont mind, a relatively glitch-free existance works fine]. the doors definitely happen though; my friend has a POS nissan and im in the habit of slamming and she gets irritated and probably also kind of scared that the cars going to fall apart. but of course she only gets the passenger door shut on the first try maybe 1/2 the time, and she knows how it is.
i almost never use the trunk, but always get whacked on the head. but its hilarious when it happens to other people.
my remote locks havent worked for YEARS. since before i started driving the car. we never figured it was worth getting fixed, i just use the key and lean across the car if someone else needs to get in.
and lots of people dont get the 'its not new' thing. one quasi-friend and i used to talk about cars all the time, but when he finally saw the SC he asked if id 'broken in the lexus yet' [about a half year ago; at least it was kind of from a distance]. i just said that i hoped so, since it was about twelve and a half, and eventually he got it.. another time a guy at a gas station refused to believe it was a '92. i dont know whether he thought i was lying or just stupid.
i also get 'i didnt know lexus makes manuals' all the time, but that probably happens less to the people with automatics for obvious reasons.
and another manual-centric one: that damn cupholder. RIGHT BEHIND THE SHIFTER. i like my enormous fast food drinks, and that does NOT work, especially with stop-and-go. the big $0.99 plastic hook-on ones are a godsend.

You know your're an SC driver if...
- you hate telling people how much you REALLY paid for your ride
- your guage needles have been out for months and you get excited whenever they flicker a little bit
- you scream "SHE NEEDS PREMIUM DUDE! PREEEEMMMIIIUUUMMM...." while at the gas pump, letting your voice trail off, and there's no one there to hear you
- you hate telling people what year the car REALLY is
- you are still impressed by how nice the car rides when you consider how many miles it has already ridden
- you take your car to the stealership for some guaranteed work, get a loaner, and while you like driving around in a 2005 RX330 or ES330 it just doesnt feel as exciting as your SC. your friends think you are nuts
- you startle your passengers with "HEY... that's MY cup holder"
- you hate telling people how many miles are REALLY on the car
- stuff falling out of your pockets involves pulling over and moving the seat forward so you can get it back. if youre lucky enough to get it back without all that work, youre the man
- center console = no road head
- girls with cars that cost 2x or 3x what you paid for yours are impressed with your choice of ride ("yes, I drive a Lexus. if you only knew how much better of a deal i got you stupid ****. yeah thats right, go cry to daddy about your new Kia Spectra")
- friends, family and co-workers instantly recognize you driving around town and you hear about it later in the form of "hey i saw you driving around downtown earlier.. you were hauling ***"
- you are too involved with your own car to notice anyone you know driving theirs
- you hate telling people how much you REALLY paid for your ride
- your guage needles have been out for months and you get excited whenever they flicker a little bit

You know if you turn the key TWICE it unlocks the passenger door as well right (unless that is busted too)? btw, welcome to CL!

so true....
the same goes for the 1/2 way roof comment - that is just retarded...my IS300 didn't do that.
