Car looks amazing for being a '93'....and only 102k miles., maybe post some pictures next week. Still need to do water pump / timing belt mx.

put a new head unit, amp, subs, and battery. Should have made sure everything under the hood was good instead, since my o-ring leak ended up killing my alternator and my power steering leak killed my steering rack bushings.

First thing I did with my 92 SC400? Drove it off the lot after waiting 6 months to take delivery in Dec 91 and still driving the car!

Well let's see.

The 98 SC300 I drove it straight to the shop to have the valve cover gaskets and rear main seal replaced.
The 2000 SC300 I drove it straight to the same shop for the timing belt.
The 92 SC400 I currently drive now I put my TT's on it. Same wheels I've had on all three.
