Herrow,
My name is Sarah, but I go by the name Spliffy :] Way back in 2006, my dad bought a used 95 SC 300, and it's been finally passed on to me as of like 2 weeks ago. I love this car, and I take good care of her. Her name is Lexi
She has been through a lot, and Lexi has been looked at by so many people, yet they still are hesitant as to what's wrong with her. I will continue to fix her up, and I'm happy because I know she can last my whole life She's in great condition, minus problems idling 
Yesterday I got my license and while I was doing the driving test in her, she was acting up sooo bad D:
Nice to meet everyone, and I joined this forum with the intentions of learning more about SC 300s, and what other people do to them
kthnxbye

Pics of my sweet '97 SC300... new owner in LOVE with my car!!
Hello! Just joined this forum yesterday after purchasing my first SC300. It's a 1997. I bought it from the original owner with 129,000 miles on it. He kept it garaged and kept all the service records. He really took care of this car, and it shows. The SC 300 has been my dream car for years. I saved my pennies and am thrilled to finally own one. Here it is:
The interior is flawless... it's really amazing how nice this is for a 15 year old car. There are a few minor things wrong which I intend to fix. One is the tilt steering, which is stuck. I found the tutorial and I intend to give that a shot - doesn't look too difficult.
The driver's side tail light is cracked and moisture is getting in, so I am searching for a part to have that replaced.
Some of the lights are out on the stereo, the driver's vanity mirror light is out, and for some reason I can set the clock, but it just stays stuck on the time that I set it for. Any advice or links to repair threads will be much appreciated.
Thanks to everyone who has posted tutorials already. I wish they were easier to search for on this site... I'll be posting some as I do work to mine. Oh, my name is Sascha, happy to meet everyone! :)

Hi Folks,
Old motorhead geezer here. Former race driver, etc. Just joined up yesterday.
I have a sweet platinum-silver '98 SC400 with black leather interior.
My goal is to get the car as close as possible to showroom condition. In my book, stock is king.
I would like to insert a photo of my car but I cannot figure out how to do it.
My photos are jpeg and I don't see any "URL of my image."
I live in the San Francisco bay area and if you know of any good Lexus mechanics in the south bay that would be appreciated.
