    Whoa man...what type of lexus was it, year, make, and model...

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Wow, that's absolutely amazing-that car does not look like it's 20 years old!

    You traded a 91 Lexus LS400 for a Civic Si? Why?
    Maybe LS's aren't worth as much where you are but when I was shopping for one, they are all well over $10k and you can find a clean Civic Si with a motor swap for under $6k.

    i had a 90 LS 400, it had 189,000 miles on it, the control arm bushings were shot and the oil sending unit is in the process of taking a shit....im 19, have my own appartment and have my accord, which i am in the process of tryin to get back in running order, and a car that gets 17 miles to the gallon isnt practical for me when i have to drive 40 miles back and forth to school each day....i probly could have sold the car for around 5, but this way i didnt have to hassle with selling it and all the bullshit that goes with dealin with people.....i wish i was alittle older or the lexus was my only car because its a great car.....but its just not for me at this point in my life........

    I think '91 hatches are also the lightest of them all.

    good to know you have your priorities straight... accord THEN civic... too bad the aftermarket doesn't share your view... but it makes things more interesting dont' you think?

    Yeah, it would be cool to see comparison pics of all three (the accord, the sold lexus, and the civic)

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.
