Default Just a lil question for you SC folks???????

Hello people this is my first post so please take it easy on me....... Ive been checking your forums for a few months and everybody seems to be very relaxed and chill around here, it's a nice change for me........ Anyhow to my question......Ive been a pretty serious Honda guy since the late 80's and until recently, daily driving, autocrossing & tuning lil screamers, has been a way of life for me.......... Im quite torn about selling my swapped EF Hatch & other Honda related goodies to a well deserving owner.......... BUT what has made me want to step up to the larger more luxurious & classy Lex, has been a few drives in a distant family members relatively stock SC3......... The car REALLY impresses me in everyway!!!!!! Ive even located a clean example that's up for grabs when im ready.......As of now im not planning on creating gobs of power but am looking for a nice atractive car that I can slap a decent suspension, semi classy wheels & lightly tune the car for a happy/fun daily driver.......... Im sure some of you have sold your Hondas & everything related to em, so you could make room for your bigger Lexus rides??????? Does anyone have any regrets after doing so???? Im a very practical guy & feel that my energies, time & effort should but put into only one vehicle, one car, a dual purpose daily, Hahahahahaha...... Thanks for listening to me ramble........ Any of your experiences and advice would be most helpful!!!!!

The only regret I have about buying my SC was that I didn't do it sooner!

The only regret I have about my purchase is that I wish I had teh V-8. Is it just me or does it seem like we've had an explosion of new members and interest with the SC's lately?

really really try to get a manual, since is sounded like you like to have fun with your cars.

if you need a back seat for anything other than carring 3year olds or a little groceries, make sure you have a second car or truck.

no regrets i traded my yukon for a 50,000mile 92 sc300 5speed and there is no looking back, but recently the new is350 and g35 is burning a hole in my gotta have it list.

and also everyone is pretty laid back, just don't ever say that your honda is faster than or better than a lexus, or you're gonna start a war of clublexus vs snapshift

just a honest heads up

also welcome to club lexus

Snapshift...

I went from a frankenstine sleeper GS-R(stolen), to a pimped out S14(sold), then back to the old school with my Conquest(track car), and now have a 2000 SC300.

I don't miss anything driving the SC around. Not even the cops haggling me...

BTW, welcome to tha club!

Hahahahahahaha, Bro that's one of the issues Im looking foward to getting away from!!!!! Owning modified Hondas one tends to meet quite a few internet, smarty pants know it all WANNABEE mechanics, BARF!!!!! In my past ive owned two 4x4 Toyota trucks & loved them both dearly......... In all honesty im looking foward to purchasing parts again from the local Toyota/Lexus salvage yards in my area........ Im at a point in my life where driving a heavier automatic isnt a bad thing........ My career requires me to drive late at night about 40 miles one way with alot of crazy drunks on the freeway........The Larger Classier image of the SC will at least be easier to spot in the evening hours on the way home as well as being more respected by the CHP " I HOPE" Hahahahaha!!!!! Anyhow thanks, for the kind words fellas & im looking foward to making the transition...... I'll deffinatly give ya a heads up on my progress as things develop..........
