    at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.

    I always had a soft spot for these square body Lexus. they were way ahead of their time. I like that you kind of kept the rims period correct cause those were popular back in the day. Very nice. I was a little disappointed in that fender repair. I know it's a budget and all but how much could a new 20+ year old Lexus fender be? Then I saw you wrapped it, and I wasn't as disappointed cause it kind of made sense but... I still wouldn't have done a better repair regardless. And I know you can 100% have done better which is why I'm saying something

    I've always wondered how these compilations are most effectively edged and then I realize that with the recent RUclips features you can see the analytics in real time which frames are most replayed so you probably went through each original episode and cut only the most freeze frame shots, Unused those ingenious I might say but something that wouldn't have never been possible 5 years though even.

    Went from being a 70 year old grandma who drives this thing to Bingo night to a rich Japanese street racer who drives it to and from the local performance shop and his personal garage.
    edit: Japanese Nissan Cima's and Lexus/Toyota Celsior's are pretty affordable too. You can pick them up from local import dealers for $8,000 to $15,000 depending on the condition and miles. A RHD VIP build would be insanely dope to take to a car meet. If done as good as this you would have the whole parking lot around your build.
