I'm so happy for you and look forward to pictures by you and the rest of the CL team at the meet. I don't mean to be Debbie Downer but I won't be able to attend thanx to some idiot rear ending me a few weeks ago on Buford Highway and Lenox Rd. My car is still in the shop, so I'm stuck with this sexy Chevy Impala rental.

Lexus corporate & Hennessy Lexus of Gwinnett (big thanks to Hugh Robb, Frank Mullin & Joe Gaunt) have come through BIG TIME.....
The week has been amazingly hectic yet beautiful....tomorrow's meet is going to be amazing and I knew I wouldn't get that "alone" time with the GS & LFA so we rushed tonight and Hennessy stayed late for us to arrive...thank you.
I was skeptical but I can only imagine how this new GS will look lowered with some 20" Vossen Concave wheels.. The front end is so much better in person, so aggresive, I love it. The interior is really 4-5 steps up over mine. It was posted here that Lexus is actually aiming for some LS buyers with this GS and it shows. The interior is truly world class.
I am 6" 5 and the interior is far roomier, the leg room up front is amazing. The 18 way seats are amazing. The materials used are top rate. The 18 cubic foot trunk is out of this world, I could not even reach the back with my hand.
The wood is superb and I noticed the seatbelts are black contrasting against the beautiful saddle leather. Oh, yes its saddle and beautiful. The LED lighting is brighter inside and the welcome LEDs along the doors are awesome.
It is not the most daring vehicle from the side or rear but it speaks class and like every GS, will age very well. It is much more upright and more like a mini LS.
Overall my wife loved it and I was quite smitten, was expecting to be disappointed but came away seeing the vast potential for this vehicle. Oh and I opened the engine bay and there is TONS of room for a V-8 (cough cough Lexus, cough cough)
Funny but I've been in a GS for 11 years now...she is a familiar friend & I am happy I was fortunate enough to get to be with the new generation one on one. I am sure the people tomorrow will love it.

Meet shirts...
The front has a smaller Hennessy Lexus of Gwinnett symbol on the front. They are the ones 99% responsible for the shirts, I just added my 2 cents at the end. They came up with the design and everything and they look great with a good weight to the shirt. Also thanks to Banks, Finley & White CPAs for purchasing additional shirts to pass out.
You can see most of the sponsors on the shirt, Vossen is giving a $400 rebate to a lucky winner at the meet!!

I also can't say but Vossen might have a giant huge surprise with VIP Auto Salon on Sunday at the "Pursuit" meet. So a lot of hard work was put there but not mentioned until now and that is all I can say except thanks to Ryan (Flipside808) for once again being a great lead liaison.
Like I said...this weekend is like no other...
I also spoke to our long time leader and Admin, DaveGS4 today and was flattered by the short write-up in the announcement I saw today. I will likely start a thread on my thoughts after ten years of being a moderator here when I have time next week. Thanks to Dave and the entire moderator team, old & new.
As for Vossen, I can't think of a more dedicated team of people in the business. Completely supportive and 100% about the customer. As you can see Jav and the team have been completely 100% behind increasing support of the Lexus scene and community. We have done TWO free wheel give-aways for Lexus owners here and for the Pursuit meet in 3 months. Who else does that? Vossen is also doing the same for other brands/makes & in other cities/countries which is simply incredible. All the hard work is well worth it when you see the energy and support of the people. When an issue arises, the team is proactive & tries first to satisfy the customer instead of blaming the customer. The energy and effort into the photos and videos is incredible. Big thanks to Atlanta Wheels for helping with the wheel stand being set up tomorrow and to Need for Speed out in L.A for setting up the Vossen area at the Pursuit meet.
I'll try to keep this thread live so you can be with me the entire weekend. Thank you.

Thanks for the pictures of the 4GS and the LFA. Looks great.
You are one busy crazy *****. I remember one year you were going to drive here to the west coast for a meet but that didn't materialize and this Sunday you're finally going to make it to one of the largest meets ever. Look forward to meeting you in person.
I just washed and waxed my CTh today for Sunday. Couldn't do it tomorrow since I'll be busy for most of the day.
That's awesome that a CPA firm was one of the sponsors to your meet there in GA.

Rode with Ryan in the CT F sport and they took me to "The Pantry" to eat, a L.A staple..drove me around...went and some some Lexus things I can't speak on and at the hotel...
