Default Intro from Fort Myers, FL

Hey everybody,

I've been checking out CL for a month or so and figured I'd join in. My name is Brett. Most everyone seems pretty helpful and there are some really nice cars on here. I'm from Fort Myers, FL and I work at a primarily European independent car dealer. I've been in the car business for about 7 years now and finishing my Communications degree at Florida Gulf Coast University. I bought my 98 GS300 when it came on trade our my dealership and couldn't pass it up. 61k miles, spotless interior, decent options, well maintained, and tons of potential..

Notable Car History:
I've had a 01 Honda S2000


03 Evo 8





04 VW R32


and now the GS



and a little bit of credibility

Congrats on the GS. Very nice find, hope you decide to keep it for a while.. From the looks of it you flip cars quite a bit!

ha, yeah it did. i miss that thing on a daily basis. I'm in the car business so when someone offers me the right amount of money for something i take it lol

..Thinking about an exhaust but its kinda nice to have something quiet for a change. At least for now.

sick03L: nice man.. pm your number or something and we can go for a cruise or something

thanks.. I've driven my share of exotic cars. Being a manager at an exotic dealer for 6 of the 7 years in the industry has gotten me a pretty impressive list of experiences. And not driving in the parking lot like a valet, real driving experiences. I should've started my own version of Top Gear if I had a good videographer

Honestly though, how fast was that GT2RS?

Edit: Or is that a GT3?
