Haha yessir, after being rear ended in the Altezza I wanted to get something that could withstand a hard hit. In its defense though, if you consider the force at which we were hit and the size of the Altezza, the car was still 100% driveable and very well built! Kudos to them for making such a solid car...only reason for it being written off is because overseas cars of this model are not equipped with a rear rebar so the frame and impact plates took the majority of the force. I miss the Altezza though, I'm definitely going to pick up another one sooner or later.

...and I've always wanted a Caddy so go figure. It's so hard to roll around in this ride and not feel like a pimp.  :D

Haha, once I get my 20" wire wheels for it, I'm sure they'll think that anyway.

Was that the '65?
I was looking at that one too but just too much of a fixer upper.

I don't mind the old man thing tho...it's comfortable as fuck, feels like I'm in a private jet. Lol

It was a silver Lexus 300 (2001?), sweet condition, so I'm not surprised it sold. Was about $6500.  Best thing was it was LHD.

Yessir, it definitely has some balls and feels like I'm coasting on a cushion of air. It's a v8 making about 300 horses but funny thing is that I get about the same gas mileage in the Caddy as I do in the Talon.  ;D

Yeah man, I'm definitely grabbing another one of those, my girl loved it so I'm gonna pick one up for her probably towards the end of the year when she gets her license back.

those are nice to drive for sure.  But like said above, a ROYAL pain in the ASS to work on.  Have fun with the cabin air filter.  Sell it before you do the alternator(or is it the water pump?)

But, I have not heard many engines sound better than Northstar V8 with some good exhaust work.  they sound amazing
91 Eagle Talon TSi 5spd awd.  GT-12, TriFlow Cams, 850s, Tial, JIC, Jackal, sticky rubber.
86 Merkur XR4Ti 5spd, rwd, turbo, 91,381km.  Original paint, heated leather. intercooled, big VAM, Full 3" exhaust, Cossie sway bar, 16" tires.
06 Mazdaspeed6 6spd awd, DISI turbo, heated leather HIDs, Corksport, Cobb, Konig, Centric...
2018 VW Golf Alltrack turbo Tornado Red, 6mt, some free mods

they are powerfull and nice engines, but as a mechanic like john, they are a absolute horror to work on when something goes wrong.  and I I wont even get into the oil leak problems!
I like Colts.  Turbo Colts.
