Ok, well my dad, since he's closing on retirement, is looking for things to do, and he wants to do the following, so I thought I'd post up and tell you guys because I almost fell outta my chair when he said this.
He's looking for an older Lexus SC300, preferable black, thats like got a blown motor or has like 200,000 miles on it, so that the price is between 3k and 4k. Well he wan'ts to buy that, and replace alot of the parts with the last gen SC's so that it looks newer and nicer (Think the new tailights and stuff). Well, then he goes what about the engine, I was like what about it? I'm like well, you could put in the 2JZ in there. He's like TT? So I was like yeah, then you'd make around what, 340 hp? So he now wants me to find the estimated cost of a used 2JZ and try to find him a nice old used SC... LOL, my dad has finally realized the dream! I just gotta keep pushing him for it... but since he asks me more questions about this everyday after work I think this just may become a reality.
And to think, if he did do it that car would become mine lol

LOL, he's like could I do this for less than 20k, I was like HELL YEAH! LOLOLOL
I wish I was rich, lol. That would be HAWT if he pulled that off. My dad keeps trying race me in his f450, lol. Whats really funny is that there is a chip for it that lets the f450 gain another 100hp at least. Now thats one fast heavy weight mofo!
I seen an awesome f250 or bigger.. crew cab race a civic hatch and the hatch at it alive... that car was very quick though... lol that would be cool to take an older luxury car and throw money into it and make it oh so nice.. I hope it all comes to a reality...
my dads been talking aboutan older muscle car, fixing it up, but he has not enough time to take care of all his business as is. Just to get rims on his escalade, hes been waiting like 4 months, but he really wants some 22s
