New vehicles addition.

Hello friends,

So I sold the BJ71 to @stusic so I could get a more comfortable, and street friendly DD. I ended up going with a 1997 Toyota Century and it just got delivered about an hour ago. I drove it all of 100 feet to get it into its parking spot. Now I have to deal with the DMV. This is the first car I've owned in years that has under 100k miles.

It's pretty filthy, I'll give it a quick wash over the weekend or whenever the snow is kinda gone.

I got it from Van's From Japan and they were super easy to deal with and I have no complaints. Would recommend.

Although, they don't title the cars when they get them. So that'll make it a bit more work on my end.

Also, the keys are pretty sweet

Awesome!!! Gotta love that V12! I need to figure out how to do the leg-pass-through mod on my LS400. The back seats are definitely more comfortable than the front.

Factory Toyota 5 liter V12 must be amazing!

Love it!

I'm pretty excited for it. I've never owned a sedan, let alone a full size V12 monster sedan. So far I think everyone in the club should get a century

I always thought those were massive cars like a Lincoln Continental or something but the photo of it on the truck under the Tesla makes it out to be a lot smaller. More practical and definitely cool.The keys are epic.

It ain't small. What did we say? Like 17 1/2 feet?

On a related note, Angelo is now looking to hire a chauffeur.

Excited to hear about this one! I've been curious about the titling process from this standpoint. Vans from Japan seems to have fairly good prices for imported vehicles.
Count me in on getting one someday!

Be prepared for a lot of really stupid random questions from strangers

Also if you have a community mailbox it’s pretty sweet to roll up and get your mail from the drivers seat 😂

I've had my JDM HDJ81 for five years now, had an 89 JDM BJ71 that I just sold and JDM mega. I guess I'm exclusively rhd.

I would love to GZ swap my 80.

Alright, after driving it around for a bit today, I gotta say that it's about a million times more comfortable than the mega cruiser and it hauls a lot of ass.

I'll volunteer, I drove a new stretch Caddie with a phone in NYC 1984....

There you go again, stealing the thunder from my minivan purchase.

 

[Doughboy]

So it has fender emerald marking lights which is cool AF
