While on vacation in san franciso for 3 days i counted 7 SC300/400s.

I live in West Hollywood (don't mention it) and there is an SC400 just sitting in a guy's garage never going out (dirly like heck). I ususally see 2 SC300/400s driving around this area. One of them is really taken care off, the other one is just normal (like not shiny).

Here around Columbus I have only seen a few diff ones.. I see like 2 on avg, but in all I have only seen maybe 8 to 10 if that many in the past 8 months.. And When I was on vacation driving down to SC I saw 2 on the way down and 2 while I was down there and that was it... Looks like the West coast has alot more out and about then the East Coast.....

I probably see 2 different SC's a month. I like it that way, though. I stand out, and people seem to love the car.

Aye, I agree with you... The more that are not around the better I like it

Theres a serious deficit of SCs in my area... and I mean badly lacking. Theres a white 92 SC400 with konig rims that I twice a year maybe... probably cuz his freind owns an auto shop in town, and then theres a teal 1992 SC300 that I see in sturbridge crossing by me on the highway every once in a great while. Its safe to say theres like three SCs in all five of my connected towns. A very rare car indeed.

It's funny, prior to me buying my SC300 I rarely saw one.
When I got mine they started popping up all over the place. There's a 400 that is the same color as mine that is about 1 minute away from my house I happened to be coming home from a trip and I saw it in the guys driveway, it's more of an ornament though he never seems to drive it. Around the city I've seen five so far, one with dubs and a custom stereo. I don't think any of them are 5spds though.

I'm in Minneapolis and don't see many and I don't think I've seen any with noticeable mods. I think it is because around here RWD cars aren't as popular since we have real winters. It is nice to have a somewhat rare car.

I had my car in a car show a few weeks ago and I believe there were 2 Lexus in the entire show. Not to say mine is modded much, just intake, exhaust, brakes and rims and that was all done before I bought it. Even supras aren't that common either. Again 600 hp + 2 feet of snow = not fun (unless it's a DSM!)

Went to the local mall. Saw 3 there. None have mods. A light green one (sorry guys, I have not idea what lexus calls this color) was driven by like a 70 year old grandma.
