Missed one - I bought a two year old lease return Lexus GS300 - no pic - but I put 200K on it and the only thing that ever broke was the electric "signal seeking" antenna.


More of the Aerostar days - man I wish they stayed that size...



Replaced the Expedition with an '07 GL450. Got a killer deal through a buddy at corporate MBZ, but I should never have purchased a first year of production car. Sold it at 100K when it left (extended) warranty.

Great riding car though - drove it to Yellowstone and it was a champ - even with the pod on top.



Eventually got another Lexus GS - this one was a 350. Direct injection 300hp v6, rear wheel drive, and again, not one thing broke after 200K miles. Still have it parked - can't bare to part with it.

And of course, in '04 I bought the '72 911.



2016 Exploder - great car and current DD. Better riding and quieter than any car I ever owned except the GL Benz. Only negative is it's a pig - 17 mpg and 4400 lbs!



And the Mrs finally picked her own car. After much looking she picked a two year old (lease return) MBZ S550. Half price from sticker. Unbelievable ride. And yes, even though still under original warranty, and even tho it was a CPO and they added one more year, I bought an MBZ extended warranty. And yes, I cross my fingers a lot!




Not sure why I got started down this road, or why anyone would care. But I was saving photos and thought I'd share.
