Default late goodbye to my gs400

it's been more than 2 months since i sold my gs400. the gs400 was my first lexus and it's been fabulous. totally brought my wife and me into the lexus family. it was a sad day to see it go....

had the honor to do one last photoshoot before the car was parted out. it's definitely good memory. also done by razox studio (who did my sc430 shot here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ght=photoshoot)

that is a nice GS. I'm sad too . but then again, your new LS is pretty damn nice looking too! What kind of taillights are those?

and tell your friend to clean his sensor...there's a huge dust or something.

Default A sad day!

I dread the day this would come for me, but all good things must come to an end at some point. Look on the bright side, the new owner is happy and you now have the LS to mod and drive. We will miss you on the 2GS boards!

lol, thanks guys, i did have tons of great time here before

Coco-bun, those are the original jp taillights. and yes, i noticed the dust. but usually what he does is some photoshop afterwards to clean that up, and also people's reflection, etc... (he shoots for big car magazines). but he really didn't have any time to edit these pictures, that's why they are "raw" compared to the finely touched ones for my sc430

indeed the new owner was super happy when he picked up the car. small world, but when words got out that i was selling the car, a close friend of mine (also gs400 owner) from 400 miles away said his nephew wanted a car and the price range was perfect. next thing i know, 1 week later they were at my door step picking up the car. so i am sure the car is still in great hands!!!!

but it was definitely sad when i saw the car leaving my garage...
