Excellent detailing work, and beautiful car. Do you have any pics of the rest of your cars... I really like all of them in your signature.

I couldn't find any good pics of my gx470 (plus right now, it is covered in bug sh*t after driving it from phoenix to LA last week) and I haven't gotten around to cleaning it up.

Very nicely done toyemp :xyxthumbs
Is it safe to assume that you like Lexus cars ?

Cool pictures, a few of my favorite cars right now. If you don't mind me asking, what type of work do you do for Toyota? That's a very impresive collection of cars. Don't mind me, just interested in that type of stuff, oh and trying to figure out exactly what I want to go to college for next year, haha.

I am the Design and Engineering Manager for Information Technology for Toyota Financial Services. What does that mean, you probably ask? Basically, I am responsible for the selection and implementation of all computer infrastructure for TFS. Right now for instance, I am working on building from scratch a pair of redundant data centers (location is a secret) to replace our existing data center with a budget of somewhere north of $100 mm.

Very cool... I knew it would be something interesting. I will be going to school for some sort of business/IT degree, but never really had any idea what type of job I should try to get... always just thought of owning a small business, but doing projects like that sound much cooler lol.
i just saw the new GS at the car show this afternoon. nice car. i like the front. the end, uh, it's not for me.
but very nice detail!
i learned from a toyota saleman that toyota likes to release the new models in march or april, as compared to later on in the year like some other car companies.

toyemp said:OK. So I traded in my '02 GS430 for an '06 last week and spent the weekend cleaning it up. I didn't realize it until I got it home that the car was covered in white overspray, probably from sitting for over a month in the Port of Long Beach in the vehicle processing plant.
I spent over 3 hours claying the car removing all the overspray, then hit it with my tried and true favorites --

Beautiful detail and beautiful car. I love Lexus cars... i cant believe you dont own the IS300. I hope to soon own an IS300 not the new model though. I like the 2jzge inline six and the body style of the old model. Beautiful cars either way.

Thanks. I did own an IS300 at one time. I had one of the first ones off the boat when it was first introduced. I traded it in when I got the SC430 though. As is, even though I have a 2 car garage in CA and a 2 car garage in AZ, I still have to park one of my cars outside all the time. My next house definately has to have a 3 or 4 car garage
I like the new IS and will probably order one this summer so that I get one of the first ones when they are released this fall.
I read about and saw pics of the new IS350 and IS250 which will be a GREAT design. The only speculation that I hope is not true is that the IS350 will only be in Auto and will not have a manual option when released. But then I heard talks that they will release the 6-speed a year or two later and even a COUPE is in the works!! All speculation I guess but after my dad took home his LEX GS300 I very excited to see the new IS design either way!
