Easy - IROC. But I’m gonna bitch and moan about the slush box.

It’s cruiser, not a street fighter. I think the 302 had less than 200 HP from the factory.

Lexus, that way everyone will know I made it.

My 10 year high school reunion is this year, I am absolutely not going.

I don’t think my class has ever even tried for a reunion, and I’m okay with that.

Jeez, just read the ad for the SC430. 11k is a lot for a salvage title.

The Lexus says you made it, and retired to the Villages in Florida.

The IROC says you miss the glory days.

IROC, because that’s what I had in high school and I want people to know that I rock just as hard now, if not just a little harder, as I did back then.

Yeah but the accident was minor and they only replaced the bumper cover.

Riiiiiight...

Same. I feel pretty good that I was the first person to decline the invite on FB hahaha

More than 50% of the people responded that they needed to find a sitter for their multiple kids. Most of my graduating class never left the POS town where we lived.

I never liked those Camaros but they are growing on me lately. That being said, I wouldn’t take the IROC. It screams “I peaked in HS and miss the good ole days” a little too hard LOL

I didn’t go to mine because I just couldn’t care enough. Went to my wife’s though and it was really sad, it was either people desperately trying to relive their glory days because they peaked in high school and people who just wanted to watch that shit show.

Between the two I’d go with the IROC

You know what they say, you keep getting older, and they stay the same age.

How is your mullet and/or creeper stache?

Maybe controversial but I like the SC430. Especially in some colors and later years it looked pretty good I think - and is probably a trouble free vert that will age pretty well in a weird way.

Speaking of the 430, I’ve gone the rabbit hole of craving a LS430 from that era...especially in “ultra” trim with adaptive suspension, radar cruise, and adjustable rear seats....such a tempting old man car to buy and drive for the rest of my life. So stately looking too. OK done hijacking thread.

I know the lexus is the much better car by a thousand miles but it does not have the emotional response of an 80's camaro that probably has an over riding smell of pine tree air fresheners.

If go for the sc430, but not that one because the seller sounds annoying.

1.) They are not rare.

2.) They were built for 9 years in a row, 01-10.

3.) Salvage title, which is okay but at that price it is not.

The gussied up honda civic is not an option in this very official poll. An acceptable substitute would be an early 90's mustang, chrysler crossfire, pop-up headlight acura integra, or CRX-SI.

I talk to two people from high school. We have each other’s numbers, why would I want to see anyone else. Oh look, I drive an M3, I wasn’t lying back then about getting one.

I’ll take the bitchin’ Camaro every time. Hopefully it still has a cassette deck so I can jam out to my Motley Crue tapes!

There was a gold one at a local dealer last summer for $12k in perfect condition, I would have bought that car. This one is a bit iffy IMO.

In the space of a week?! Electronics or actual drivetrain issues too? Getting the most basic one possible is probably the safer route just so there are fewer electornics to break, but its so cool all the stuff they loaded those things up with 15 years ago!

1. It’s actually my car and cost about that money when I bought it

2. It’s an Accord

I have a few friends I’ve kept in touch with. One is actually now my roommate after I convinced him to move to LA. He keeps in touch with a lot more people than I do, but it’s still a small number. I would say I have three friends, and the rest are friends of those friends that are sometimes around. Not surprisingly, the few friends I still have, also moved away haha

It’s a nice car, not bagging on it at all. I just think a high school reunion car should say either bad decisions were made or I haven’t moved on from high school ten to twenty years later.

If those were my choices, I don’t think I’d go.

The IROC, and it’s not even close. The 3rd gen and Fox Mustang was extremely popular with the high school gearhead crowd when I was in high school in the early 90's.

Sorry, I’ve been on edge a bit lately. Personal problems amplified by lack of sleep. I meant to say something to the effect of “how dare you insult the TSX that way! It’s an Accord, not a Civic!”

Find a $5500 version of both. I don’t hate either.

If not, I’ll just buy a dope motorcycle. :3

Hahaha, you’ll have to visit some time.

He mentioned his friend talked him into the R over a standard GTi and I thought to myself, this sounds like something E90M3 would say. Then he confirmed lol

Yeah, I need to plan a trip out there.

That is exactly something I would say.

A bit of both actually, though I believe they stem from the same issue. I bought the car from a Lexus dealer thinking that they’d be more honest than some used car lot, but as it turns out they either deliberately withheld evidence that the car had been rear ended, or through some massive quality control oversight didn’t notice. Either way, the paint work on the trunk and quarter panel is atrocious, there’s an alarming creak from the rear suspension, and the navigation system has issues that point to an impact during the cars life.Regardless, I’m currently in talks with my Lawyer and Lexus Corprate to get the dealer to buy it back.

Yikes, that sounds like some shady stuff. Sorry to hear you’re having such a crazy experience with something you probably went in to expecting to be a drama free ownership experience! Please consider sharing your experience on Oppo – there are some good minds on here that might be able to give you some helpful input, and sounds like quite the story many of us can learn from as well.

I will when everything is said and done, but I’d like to keep a low profile until everything is resolved. On a brighter note, insurance gave my dealer the go ahead to fix my S600, so now they’re just waiting on parts and I should have it back next week.
