Default How Did You Feel....

Hey all, I just want to know how ppl feel when they got the first sc300/400 or there gte.

Well when the first time I got my sc300 8 years ago , I was super Happy cuz all my life I just want a sc300, Yes I did said all my life lol. I just love how the sc300 looks. I havent had a sc300 for the past 5 years, but a few months ago i just pick up a 1992 sc300 with 97+ body kit and came with a 2jz-gte and WOW I really think I JIZZ in my pants no joke lol. So I guess I just want to know anyone feel when the first time they got a sc300/400 or gte. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Most people would feel accomplished that they found the car they want. Or temporary happiness lol. But car fanatics are like this is awesome! then they start modding it and such. I'm sure you felt super awesome when urs came with a 2jz-gte.. I would! Post pics of your car man.

My first feeling was of pure excitment when I bought my 92 sc300 because it was my first purchase on my own, it was and orignal 5-speed and going to be my first project car (2jz-gte 6speed)...

After about a month and a half of having the car it has become just pure agony and heart-ache (for my wallet)...mainly because of the restoration process, bc the previous owers lacked on the maintaince, poor sc

But Im am still excited and cant wait to get the restoration process over and the Mod process going

When I spend $2k annually just to keep it on the road, I get a little pissed. But I guess I could be spending $4,800 in car payments for a new IS or something. I really like my car, but I know it needs some work to keep me happy. Maybe in two years time I will have done a suspension overhaul and gone NA-T so I'm just looking forward to it.

Ok, I'm in...when I first found my SC I was blown away, I boarded a plane and made a 6hr drive back to NC with the AC blowing the entire time. No issues outside some minor cosmetics...

I thought it was kind of a cool car even though it was in kind of a bad condition. I guess I envied my brother for having an extremely good condition GS430 and he was all finished on his JP kit with Scaras on air. Although I've had a good vision on what I want my car to look like in the future, but I guess my car can't look cool yet

When I first got my SC I was beyond excited since I been wanting it for a long time. Now I'm just watching my wallet take a hit. It's a love/hate relationship
