GOODNESS! All this talk about my car and I just noticed! Well, let me tell ya'll:
I wanted a mkiv supra TT, but didn't want the price or the cop appeal.
So I looked at the RX8, IS300, and 350Z.
RX8: Very fun car, roomy back seat (relatively) megablindspots, brand new model (minus)
350Z: I drove the track model - very awesome ride..., not cool price, only 2 seats, and HUGE blindspots
IS300: 2jz-ge vvt-i, v6 (tired of NA I4 engines), roomyish backseat, still a toyota
The one I bought had 5k miles on it, 2003, 5spd, leather, sun/moonroof, blue...pretty much everything I wanted...and I saved a bunch of money since it was taken off the lot. The back wheels are really easy to slip, it gives plenty of power, smooth as silk. My Dad wants to buy it when he's done with the supra even!
I've learned that driving a lexus is...not cool. I tell people you bought a new car, and they ask what it is, and I have to explain myself after I say it's a Lexus, so they don't think I'm made of money or something. But then, I'm not a pimply little chrome-tipped japanese ricer that doesn't have a job, now am I?
Other minuses are the weight and the gas milage. But seriously...what person that cares about their driving experience cares about fuel economy? I'm not out to save the planet. Anyway, I'm very happy with my selection, and I'd post pictures of it up , if I knew how!
