The Dilemma.......

whats up guys. in the next few months i will be purchasing another vehicle as my daily driver. since i got rid of my slowara i have been wanting another one, and having modified one before i feel i know the car very well. i have also always wanted a 97+ Lexus sc300. i know milt has owned both cars, but what do the rest of you think?

2002-2003 DWP SLE - you guys know me - kaminari kit, dual HIDs, Tokico/eibach,custom BBK, TRD RSB, wheels...... basically the same as my old car but in DWP.

^^the smart choice for a daily driver - i could easily pick one of these up with 60-70k and drive it for years.

97+SC300 - find one that had been swapped right, put some time and money into it to make it look good. these are just plain sexy.

^^ this would just be fun!!!

the car will be driven to work everyday - about 10k/year.

no, the solara would be stock. i have been through boosting the 2az and do not wish to spend that money again. i would most likely get an SLE or an SE with leather etc to have the better MPG of the 2.4 liter.

i really am choosing between 2 beautiful cars, one more pragmatic and the other more performance oriented.

i just loved the compliments i got on the solara, its a great looking car even for its age.
