Default New SC430 Owner

Hey everybody,

I picked up my car Friday and had a chance to put it on the road. I have always loved the luxury of the SC430 but owning it is totally different. On my trip from Baltimore to NY this weekend, I was saying to myself I am not worthy. I love this car. Even with no mods. I won't do anything to it for a while, I have to finish my SC400 build. Hopefully I can have it done by the end of the year. I will be doing the TPS mod this weekend.

It can get really hard to wipe the smile from your face on a nice day with the top down and the stereo up!

Nice ride!

Congratulations. I know how you feel. I got my 2008 SC 430 one month ago.

My wife won't let me go into stores with her. She is fearful that someone will take offense at the smile on my face thinking I am making fun of them.

In actuality, I cannot stop smiling because I keep thinking of my new SC.

Which one is it?
The stock one in the foreground (silver) or the white one that's been debadged, lowered and rims that the 2 guys are drooling on? If it's the white one, looks like there's not too much left to do anyway!
