Theres that area on the westbound 401 between the 427 and the 410, where you question your sanity, gazing into the weaving traffic, not a single signal light to be found.

People are going 10 under in the left lane and 50 over on the right shoulder. You're surrounded by dirty Nissan Altimas, with bad tint, blacked out tail lights, and spray painted rims. A beaten up mazda 3, now more rust than paint after 2 winters, just cut you off. You are now 2 km from the 410 north ramp. All the rusty dirty shitty cars are slamming their breaks and cutting to the right lane, still no signal lights.

You see a white crown Vic, thinking it's a cop, a savior. Only as you approach and the smell of burnt oil hits you, your hopes are dashed as realize it was a police auction surplus vehicle. They have their left signal on, but they're crossing into the right lane.

You see the off ramp sign. 410 north Brampton. You are approaching Brampton. It's almost over. Please let it be over. You must get past this off ramp. People in the left lane are now slamming on brakes, realizing they have 4 lanes of traffic to cross. You see all the Altimas, rusted Mazda 3's, 5's and a brown protege that used to be yellow, and police surplus vehicles miss the ramp by 4 meters, and immediately cut across the shoulder back on to the ramp. You are still in the left lane. The road ahead of you is finally serene, clear. No more smells, no more rust, no shitty spraypainted rims. You're finally safe.

^depends on the owners habits. I always keep my cars for a long long time (unless it’s a lease, then I treat it like a piece of shit). Even longer than anyone reasonably should. Thus long term reliability and proper engine maintenance are important to me

Do you drive any of them enough to actually rack up significant mileage though? What's the odo on the LC at these days?

I think the tolerances on Toyota/Lexus products are pretty good. There's a lot of forgiveness. Unlike Porsche. If you drove a Porsche with that kind of mileage, you'd be so screwed. This is where Toyota shines, despite how much we shit on them.

Final DE weekend of the year in two weeks. Can't wait to hit the rev counter many times overs! :D

Nah back in 2003 it was 36k for base model. 42k for loaded.

Yeah you're right. Maybe I was thinking about the G35 Coupe (GOAT design)
I just remember all the hot JDM cars in the 2000's were in the 45-55K range.
Either way it makes the new Z even cheaper if you factor in inflation.

I still want a G35 Coupe but probably wouldn't be as fun as it was when you're 16
