Thinking back, are you happy with the purchase? When is the wife's VIP project gonna start up? What are you leaning towards, 98-00 LS400/430/460 or Infinity M35/45?

I don't regret the purchase. It's been a learning experience and still is. I love the car. It's fast for what it is, it turns heads everywhere and it's still confuses a lot of people here who don't know what an Aristo is. Right now the car is slammed. I lowered it even more last week, just working on making the ride a little more comfortable at that height. As far as the wife's VIP project goes, that's on hold. She's now in love with the Lexus IS-F. I would prefer to get an M5 for that kind of money. We'll see what happens next year after the winter. If I'm getting rid of the truck I would prefer to trade it in for an M5 over an IS-F.

Hard to go against and M5 or IS-F. There are not many choices in that market segment. Maybe an Audi or a Benz (designs get outdated too quickly), but that's it. CTS-V is nice, but the quality is not very high.
Told you that was the way to go. I'm sure the Evo was nice, but this is just a total different conversation. Keep having fun with it, there are a few more thing that can be done to it to make it even better than it already is.
