Ahhh the memories...


95 SC300, Platinium silver, Black Leather Interior, 5sp - rare as hell.
Very nice and clean.

But my only complaint---you put a bumper sticker ON the bumper

Thanks!
Actually the sticker is street parking permit sticker from the previous owner. I tried everything and couldn't peel that sucker off!

I do get a fair share of nice compliments on this car. A sample of what I got the past month.
Lady carpooler:"What a beautiful car! Is it a convertible?"
Another lady carpooler: Did not speak much English but could see the sign of approval in her eyes, just could not take her eyes off the dashboard, the leather, and the interior fit and finish.
While parking right outside a restaurant, the hostess said; "Good afternoon Sir, you've got a beautiful car!".
A 70 year old guy opening the gate:" You've got a fancy car!".
My neighbor's wife:"What's that piece of luxury in your garage?"

My wife drives our '02. It was a Christmas gift. Red/Ecru. She gets compliments all the time. The fact that she's 5'6", blonde, 118 Lbs, in-shape and beautiful may have something to do with it......

Yeah, my wife's been hit on a few times when she's been driving mine. Guys try to pick her up with "Hey, that's a nice car!". She tells them "Thanks, it's my husbands."

The second time this happened, I was like "Great, my car is a man-magnet."

On a drive out to CA from CO, we stopped at a rest stop. Some older guy saw the SOARER badges on the back and wanted to know where I imported my car from. I drive a 95 SC300 btw. I felt so special! lol
He didn't even give my friend's Scion tC a second glance.

Not as often as back in 2002, but it will still get attention - particularly when I have it shined up with a fresh Zaino treatment. Had a guy come up and ask about it because he was going to get one for his wife.

Yep. Most recent was a guy who thought it was an '06 (not an aficionado) and his mouth dropped when I told him it has 106K miles and got it in Mar'01.

The SC gets a compliement about every other day I drive it but I get stares all the time. Love the SC!
Those are all lines! How come I never get picked up in my SC?
Maybe it's my sleeveless flannel shirts?
Seriously though, 2006 rims on my 2003 and nobody can tell...hehe except for my boss who has an 07 and paid double.

Haven't had comments for a while (at least a year+), but I still got stares . . .

This is funny. I was told 2 weeks ago by someone at the office...

"There's only one thing I like about you... just one thing. Its your car! I really like your car."

I took the administrative assistant to our shipping building across our campus (1/4 mile) and she was grinning ear to ear. Then the shipping people came out and were impressed. My car is 4 years old and everyone thought it was new. A tribute to the styling and condition of the car.
