    I just bought my 5th is300 last week, and it’s so refreshing to see such a clean example of a high milage car. You can tell the guy knows what he’s talking about, especially mentioning brands that are almost chassis specific like SuperPro and Figs, not cheap parts. Great video, thank you for sharing.
