Hey guys,
i'm excited to be back in action on ClubLexus w/ my third GS, just purchased, this one a white on tan 01' GS430 i picked up in Arkansas...it's a one owner, fully maintained w/ 80k miles w/ 17" chromes. I'm a bit disappointed in the electronic throttle lag relative to my last two 98' GS400's (silver/black and cinnabar/tan), but not complaining because it's in near flawless condition and i got a great price.
I"m in the market for an SRT intake (hopefully will eliminate a bit of that lag) and L-tuned or similar lowering springs, along w/ an aftermarket front grill. The clear side markers are already on the way and window tint is forthcoming.
I'm in Dallas now (instead of Atlanta) so i'm looking forward to meeting some of the members who meet here. Dallas is a HUGE Lexus market, and it's great to see so many examples on the road. For once i get to see new Lexus's in colors other that black, white, and silver!!
see you out there....

Nice pickup, I think I was actually looking at that car online and considering shipping it to CA. It looks really clean!
