Talking Slooooooow to join, but finally here too!

I bought her in January of '05 off of a used car lot.
The price was perfect! CHEAP! I can pay cash for her and that's PERFECT for a car to leave in the commuter train lot (instead of parking my show car there).

The Carfax report showed a one-owner vehicle. Hmmm...
Turns out the owner put fewer than 10k miles per year on her. Wow.
Turns out the owner took fairly good care of her. Especially by having all her services performed at a VERY reputable Lexus dealer here in Dallas (Sewell). Even better...

The more we drive this car, the more we like it. We began calling it the "Boulevardier" because it's so smoooooth. It's the perfect car to drive slooooooowly around town and melt the stress away.

Then I found ClubLexus. But the cars on there are toooo nice to post pics of her on there. The power antenna was broken. The tint job had gone purple and was so bad on the back window that you couldn't tell what cars were behind you. The front lip sagged from a broken bracket.

Now...a year later...and after multiple part replacements, reconditioning and several coats of Zaino, I can finally put up some pictures. She's basically back to as-new condition. My next steps are to begin more significant modifications like some of you have done. I can at least show up at some of the meets now.









The old school wheels are OEM. They're totally not in style, but they shined up so nicely and I've grown to like them. Major plus - little stress about them getting jacked. *LOL*:


Oh! She's no longer the hooptie that sits in the commuter lot. This is a daily driver that we share and adore now. Today I reset the ECU based on a mod suggestions list. Wheeeeee!

1992 model. 164,300 miles as of today and still going strong.
