My new car appreciation post

[Jack]

So I finally broke down and bought a newish car.... It's a 2004 Lexus IS300 Sport Design edition. Working at a dealership does pay off every once in a while I guess, because I got a really good deal on the car. Anyway, here it is!

Looks good! I always think American streets/houses look really nice too compared to most of ours.

I can't see it all, there's a black car in the way.

The white truck is what I've been driving for about 10 years now.... It's got more than a few problems, but now that I have alternate transportation, I can yank the engine out and see what I can build up for it. Since the Lexus is a certified pre-owned vehicle, I get a 5 year, 100,000 mile warranty and won't have to worry about spending my weekends fixing it.

It's a beautiful car, Jack! Congratulations! :)

Definitely, bud. Well done, glad to see you've done something well for yourself.

Speaking of which, can you get ME a deal on a car like that? :grin:

I happenned to get lucky with it, since I did the used car inspection, and noticed it had a replacement hood and windshield, it became a "Wrecked Car". As such the dealership was just gonna wholesale it. I stepped in, and said I wanted it. I did all the work to certify it, and got it for the cost the dealership paid, plus parts (Tires, factory hood, factory glass). Not sure I could swing anything like that for anyone else....

Oh, I was being faceitious. It's a good job, man, and I'm happy for you.
