OK, the car has a salvage title, so the price seems about right. But WTF is sitting behind it?

Price is OK, but doesn't say how many miles nor what caused the car to have a salvage title. And that car behind the Vette is hideous.

I see a lot of really nice cars and trucks around with those "wagon wheels". I just don't get the attraction. Why make you car look like a conestoga?

Thats a mid 90's Lexus SC300 or 400 guys. I know because I had one. Minus the ridiculous color and "donks" of course. It's earlier than a '97 judging from the squared off fog lights. My '97 was the first year to slightly update the body.... one small update being a rounded fog light. No way to tell if it's a 300 or 400 without looking under the hood. The only difference between the two is that the 300 was an I6 and the 400 was a double overhead cam V8. Generally the 300s were not optioned as nice of course but could be.
