You can afford "40 Large" but you really got nothing better to do?
I'd say sumtin' harsh, but I'm REALLY good at that ... Get a life dude.
"Sumtin"

I am very happy I got my car for as cheap as I did. Coming from the RX7 world to hear has been a painful journey. I am posting my observations since I am still an outsider so to speak here. The SC is a very attractive car with a timeless look. Everywhere I went in my RX7 I would get looks and pointing and yelling at me from all the F&F fanbois etc. In this car no one even looks my way, which imho and especially after the RX7 is a huge bonus. The motor is plenty peppy (no where near what I had before) and gets where I want it very fast.

tuning on this car will be a pleasant treat. I say that because no matter what I do to it it will always be looked at as a "lexus" so it cant be fast, lol. No, I believe the SC400 is the perfect car. mine has 125k miles and once Im up to date on my bills (from buying the damn thing) I will begin susp work followed by brake work, then I will work on boosting the 1UZ all the while the outside has scratches, bangs, and scrapes. only after all is done will I wide body the car and paint it. And then even then, I will get 90% less attention than the RX7 had. And that is EXACTLY what I like, the best sleeper car ever.

just in case you didnt know. I had a 1978 mazda RX7 and completed a full lift modernization of the car with the LS1.T56 and a solid 8.8 rear plus all the goodies. it weighed at 2145 and had 350 hp 382 ft lbs crashed it during rush hour on dec 21st at 50mph, totalled the car and lost 99% what I put into it.

I bet that RX7 was the bomb. Sad that it is gone!

Yeah, I type how I speak.
I don't say: "What are you going to do?" I say: "What are you gonna do?"
This isn't a paper Im writing for school, it's the public only.
I type this way as a personal style.

Secondly, unless it's aaabsolutely clear that you're uneducated (which none of my posts have indicated), then the only time people insult your grammar, is when they have nothing more intelligent to say in reply. It's cheap.

I think that mini SC movie coming out could be especially great if we all really try hard. I know I'll be snapping video for it as soon as I can. There is already the SC's gone wild and that one is really great. Our cars are invaluable to us and perhaps no one else will ever appreciate how much so until they drive an SC themselves. I will say that I love how much you love these cars...makes me know I am not the only one haha

edit: damn this thread took a direction I was not expecting...just read a few posts. ouch.

i posted earlier here then i deleted it cause i had nothing good to say.

Hes probably talking smack because half of your threads are kind of pointless.

The only sc's u can find for really cheap are the ones that have been abused and neglected, and ones that have super high mileage.

These cars actually hold there value very well compared to other cars, and u know what , im glad they are reasonably priced so when the time comes I can buy a second and maybe third one.

If you want the value of 'your' sc to go higher you can try fixing it up and restoring/modifying it.
