my god how did u keep your sc in such great shape... wish mine was in that condition. Oh well right now i cant justify spending too much more money into my car. so far i've spent well over 7 grand in mods and god knows how much in maintance. Took my Sc to the shop the other day and they said it would cost another 4 grand to fix all the suspension problems
. Now i'm coming to the point where i feel my time w/ the SC is coming to an end. It's has jus over 150k miles and 10 years on it. I know the engine can go on forever but i think i'm ready for a new car.

one of the things i have always said is that you have to be clean stock before you can be clean modded. the steering wheel and small touches like that to a car that is perfect make all the difference.
consider this the standard for goals.

VERY NICE....
One of these days once I get started in a house and have time and money I will be doing the same thing you did, your car LOOKS AWESOME...... And why not put 9k into a Lexus and keep it up, rather then going out and spending 3 time as much if not more for something that would prob not last 1/2 as long as your Lexus as already.... You did a GOOD DAMN JOB, People like you make me like what I do because I know there are other people out there that loves their cars as much as I love mine... I mean its a Lexus, I hate then people miss treat their cars, Lexus or not, well I could care less about Hondas LOL...
Keep up the good work Ryan and keep us updated...

Ryan, I think we should start a Car Preservation Chamber Hall of Fame! Your car looks like it rolled off the assembly line yesterday! And like others said, you drive a clean, flagship model lexus, and you dont pay 600-700 bucks a month to do so!!

Wow that car is beautiful!!!!! I have to give you credit for picking the road less taken and not varing off it at all... With my car I always upgrade when something needs replacing...I bought my car with the single purpose of swaping in the TT.... I have never saw SC that was as clean as yours.... I am now going to have my interior redone because yours makes mine look that much worse (and I thought mine was in great shape). Great job I will have to give you a 10 (now america its your time you judge)..haha T.D

excellent work!...a man after my own heart!. listen,that was money very well spent. Why put that money towards a car that is newer w/ newer problems and still pay a car note when you can just restore an already beautiful car..taken care of,this car will last another 10+ years(we are on the same wavelength)...lookin' good
