    No I picked em up since they were swamped and took em to the little shop around the corner from my house. I think they thought it was going on something heavier

    This is tempting. If only it weren't 2 hours away.

    I saw my first NSX in Newport RI. Me and my buddy were going to Jai Alai and we stopped by the dealer to check it out. There were velvet ropes around that gorgeous red wedge in the showroom. Very glamorous.
    I had a red Civic Si at the time and felt a distant, distant, distant connection. lollll

    If my wish were granted, here in Canada I would be able to afford to drive a Lexus LS. Y'all in the states have it so lucky.

    Why do you want an old Camry?

    When I was re-doing my kitchen, it made me think of the joys and thrills of driving an old Toyota sedan. Ahhh, the good old days in Canada.

    Just for a daily beater. Although I’m not really driving lately since I can walk to work, but that may change soon.

    That mileage will scare you.

    It has no warranty.

    Any odd noise will have you question your sanity.

    You'll have us question our sanity cause you'll bring your questions over here.

    Then by off chance one of us will find your exact question posted on the Lexus forum.

    As well as in another thread in this same forum.

    It'll be on r/Lexus too.

    You should be punished for your crimes against humanity.

    They look good in red with the black top. I went with black because it was iconic to me. Locally there's a dark green one that I lust for. I'm a sucker for dark green. I kinda figured I would get an SW20 MR2 Turbo one day as a baby NSX, but those too are riding the wave of rising values. Cousin has two of them, hoping to scoop one when he goes to sell.

    Generally speaking, Lexus sedans do hold their value pretty well compared to other make / models.

    Can’t go wrong for 1200 bucks though.
