The Toyota Cressida, 2JZ makes it sing

When you spend as much time in the junkyards as I do, you start to develop irrational affection for a number of somewhat obscure vehicles. Back before Toyota introduces the Lexus line of automobiles , their Flagship car in the United States was the Cressida. Known on “the street” as the 4-door Supra, these cars are an easy swap away from a 5 speed and 1JZ or 2JZ powerplant.

Currently I own and drive a Lexus LS 400, but I have decided that the car is a bit too sophisticated and refined for my taste. It is smooth, quiet, and reasonably fast, but I think the automotive fanatic in me requires something that stands apart from the crowd. I think a Third generation Cressida with a slight drop and some nice wheels sounds about right.
