Woke up Monday to a Dead Battery.
Woke up Tuesday to a Flat Tire.
Bought new battery (man, batteries used to be like $60 bucks. now they Start at $115!)
New Tires on the way from Cali. (i sure go through tires quick considering i work from home and barely put any miles on my car. I know i got a little camber but i can't imagine how the heavy Camber Kings around here must go though tires every 2 weeks.
Wrong time of year for unexpected costs. But i still love my GS4 like the day i bought it. Great car all around.
Been working on my '50 lately. Hopefully some ideas for the GS in 2015 after the crazy $eason.

I said the exact same thing a few weeks ago to a clerk at Autozone that was about 20 years old. He was like, "What? When were batteries that cheap?" He didn't believe me. I told him, "The good ol' days kid."

Car is looking great Pete. I'd love to see a shoot with the '50 and the GS together.

I just looked through all 41 pages and my computer is now at 8% after starting at 97%.
I am so freaking in love with your car. It's given me so many ideas for the GS400 I'm about to get, which is also black.
I especially love your two tone interior you did. Good thing I'll never be able to afford that bit because I would have to copy it. It's sooooo gorgeous <3

Tire time has come again. I never heard of MAYRUNs before.
But A-Spec said they were good and most of the reviews i read said they were good.


After puttin' some freeway miles on them, they are the smoothest set of rubber i have put on the Lexus yet.
Butter smooth and straight as an arrow.
Not sure how long they last, but for the price i can't beat it.



Front: MAYRUN 225/35R19 MR500
Rear: MAYRUN 255/35/19 MR500

I love the privats and black on mint. They look so good on your car. I've been tossing it up whether I want black and teal like you or black and gold just not to cop your style.

go for it. Black and Teal always been my favorite color combo. Black and Gold might be dope too though. Mock it up in photoshop and compare the two

Mayrun. Hopefully 'nomen est omen' doesn't apply to these.
Nice pics once again.
