I finally found a couple of shots of my previous car, their not the best, but this is what I traded in on my GS. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss her, she was a performance animal, and a blast to drive. In the end reliability won me over, this was my 3rd MB, and I've had my share of problems. The GS has definetly proven itself worthy, and surpassed my hopes in the reliability category. Now I just need to boost it up in the performance department and all should be well.

How could you get rid of that instead of the DSM? All very nice cars regardless.

Trust me I get that reply from everyone. It just came time to let her go Besides i am hooked on the PWR that the DSM Makes. Boost Addiction is a very terrible thing . I do miss that car though but not when im driving the GS.

I traded a 94 Camaro LT-1 Z28 for the GS - at the Lexus dealer no less - and got bent over on the dollar value for it. But that was OK, because I got the GS. The Camaro looked great, sounded great, did many things well, but it broke, constantly and frustratingly. Small things, big things, every damn thing. I bought the LS for the wife, and began to think within weeks that I needed a Lexus. Thought about an SC, and drove one. I would rather have kept the Camaro. Then I drove a 95 LS. Independant used car manager didn't want to take the Camaro. That was two years ago, and the silly bastard is still trying to sell the 95LS. I drive by with the GS just to upset him, every now and then. Then I found the red GS400 and that was it.
Never been happier with any car. Period.
I see a lot of front drive cars in this thread. I have never owned a front driver, and never will. Just a personal bias I suppose.
