Post I'm Newish here

"I'm posting this as a new thread because It is going to be pretty long and I didn't want to clog up the new member thread. I'll just post a link there to this one. Anyway, Here is me:"

I'm pretty new to Club Lexus and wanted to introduce myself a bit. I'm a College student and I'm currently working as an IT Administrator for an Ethanol Plant. I'm 1 of a team of 3. I'm located in Northern, IL about 100 miles due west of Chicago.
My car Modding Adventure started with my Ford Escort ZX2. Before that, I never knew too much about cars. I could change my own oil and rotate my tires. It wasn't until one day I decided to turbo charge my escort. It was quite an experience. I had a great time and it felt nice to have a "fast" car. I was pretty happy with it and had plans to build up an engine for that car and run more boost, but I've since realized it's limited potential. I wanted a car with a lot more possibilities. My friend (I will refer to him as "Korndog" when I mention him) one day came across the Toyota Cressida that one of his classmates was working on as a class project. As he told me about how the kid wanted to put a built 1jz into it and turbo the car, I began to research into the Cressida. While researching it, I stumbled across the SC300 and fell in love with it. I soon found this site and Started posting around to see if I could find one. I put up a thread in the Classified not even a hour later, UZZ-TT contacted me and I had found my new love..... His Car not UZZ...

I'm going to post my Build up of my escort and then my trip to get my new SC in the following Links.

My build Log of my Escort:

I hope to get to know you of Club Lexus

Edit: I planned to post the two links as Posts but My build log for my escort is apparently to big with 117 pictures... oops.
