Vwvortex to VSC

So after 6 years, I made the swap from VW to Lexus. To give a small rundown, these are the two cars I spent the most time with since I was 16. 
 
The mk2 I bought stock about 6 months after I got my license (first vw was a jetta and was totaled by an idiot named congetta - if you know your latin, "con" means against)
So while in HS, I swapped the Vr6 into it, recaro interior, mild tuck in the engine bay, but overall the best running car I have ever owned ( so far!)

Then I also had a mk3 vr, all the euro bits, but it was stolen and totaled, so I ended up stripping it for parts. :pat:
 
Then this thing, the 20th anniversary. It lost the most oil pans, I changed more cv boots than I could handle and nearly lost the transmission due to some scary roads here in downtown dc.

Now, today, I just picked up an 03 LS430. Its only been 3 hours, but I had to go to class after buying it, so I have not had much time to learn anything ( I dont even know the paint code yet!)
 
It has 46k miles, all stock, and just needs a good detail. So stoked!
