ohhh hias!

A little info on me. My names Jeremy and Im stationed in Beaufort SC. I started out in the drift scene with a 91 S13 hatch. Enlisted a couple months after highschool. Got out of bootcamp sold the hatch and picked up another 240 expect now it was a 89 coupe with an rb20. Drifted it for awhile with my buddy learning the car and better our skills. Then 2 years later i picked up a 94 rx7 fd. Drove that around for awhile then an apex seal front and lost compression in the rear rotor. Then 6 months ago i deployed to japan, started noticing the vip scene out there and was VERY impressed. I wasnt really into 4 doors back then.
So i came home and picked up my coupe from a friend and it was pretty much shot. Bought a another hatch to swap parts but even then didnt help to much. Talked to the wife and we decided to look into a 4 door for a family car.

ANNNDDDDD.........

Today we drove 4 hours and picked up a 2000 lexus Ls400 platinum edition.:giggity:
So now she wants to learn more about cars and were gonna build the ls with vip style in mind.

Now for pics!

Thank you. Both are fun cars lol but i gotta get a nice dd and something for the wife and family soon before i can start building another rex. Plus after seeing alot of vip inspired cars out in japan it grew on. Just wish there was more of a scene around where i live.
