So i sold my SC back in January and bought my Ls the same day

Its a 1995 Lexus LS400, Silver Exterior(not sure which type of silver) with FLAWLESS black leather interior:eyebrows

Had the car for a couple months with nothing done because of money shit.

so i drove it all day friday and then something not so good happend.:(

i was driving my car uphill towards the mall to just mess around and do some amateur shooting, on the way there i smelled a really bad smoke smell. i stopped my music and my air conditioning and realized it was my car smoking, at first i thought it was my engine but as i slowed to a complete stop i found out it was my interior.

freaking out i turned off the car and got out hoping my car wasnt about to catch fire, called a friend and waited for the car to eventually cool itself down. cops arrived right after my friend did and they told us to move because we were in the way of alot of traffic. so i got in the car and started driving up the hill again, next thing i know the speedometer lights start to blink then go completely out, then my ceiling lights, then my clock and so on. it started smoking so bad that the smoke was coming from behind the dash where it connects to the windshield.

turns out there was a spring in my cigarette lighter and it created an ark. got my wire too hot, it caught fire. burned through some plastic and completely fried the main wiring harness. my fuse box has about a quarter sized black melted hole in it.

so now my windows are stuck rolled down, my speedometer doesnt work, and my clock doesnt work. i went to autozone the other day and got new fuses so now a few things work, but not the important stuff.


Said fuck it, and drove it saturday night for a night shoot...
