Thanks - well I got the car last week and the suspense is over... here is a photo I took today. I love the car, but it has some quirks I need to get fixed- no big deals though (valve cover gaskets seeping a little, slight vibration (which a friend of mine is having on her LS400, which I will be asking about here), and maybe front springs/struts).... here is a quick photo. Its late and I need to get to bed, so I will post details tomorrow.....

yeah, you can't go changing your name now. Hey, you will get a lot of enjoyment out of the new car. I have mine backed into the garage since I was just changing a tailight bulb. AT least I thought it was thebulb since one brake light didin't illuminat all the time and my dash indicator was on. Turns out one of the contacts in the socket was lower than the other and not making contact. I thought about what to do and tried popping the contact up but to no avail. I figured out which contact on the bulb was the one that corresponded with the brake light and used needle nosed pliers to squeeze the contact on the bulb forcing it upward. Worked like a charm and when I inserted thebulb, it worked properly. I put a new headlight and foglight bulb in last night so all my lights are in order. I alos detailed the car of course and since I always keep it waxed, it still looks great.

I have a very few places (stone chip size) on my front bumper where the yellow shows through. Next year I am painting the whole lower (silver) portion to match the white on the car.
