Here are some pics of my '00 Durango. I really loved modding this car and only had it for 2 years, but the GS was calling my name so I had to make the switch.

It really is a different world.. No rattles, shakes, plastic parts, etc... found in the GS like the mustang had.. But that 5.0 engine sure held together with no major problems..

As some of you know I'm VW bug guy. Here's the interior of my old 12 sec. bug I didn't trade it for the GS, sold it off in pieces, I have the engine in my current 58 Bug convertible project.

Although I didn't get rid of it to get the GS, my Cherokee has served me well for 4 years and 100K miles. It's gotten me places 99% of people don't want to go and have no place being. I've taken it 4 wheeling in 10 states acroos the country. I still drive it the majority of the time and when I resell the GS later this year it'll still be my daily driver (unless I get an ES 300 or similar)

96 E320 - The only thing I miss about this car was the sound insulation that made the interior of the car so quiet and that heavy thunk sound when the doors close!

This car was actually a compromise buy for me at the time. I really wanted a GS400 when I bought this car back in 2000, but could not afford a GS at the time so settled for this car instead.

Car was bone stock (I kept it for 2 years and then could afford my GS) - I didn't know anything about modding cars till I bought my GS and discovered ClubLexus - LOL!!!!

I had the LS400 before the GS400. I still miss it sometimes for the super smooth quiet highway drives. I sold it to the manger of a furniture store by my work, sometimes I drive by to take a look at it.
