Default I have a 2GS sickness

Two weeks ago, I bought my 3rd 2GS..4th if you count my mom's '02 SD car that I do all the work on.

This one is an ASM '98 GS400 base..thankfully no Navi to crap out, all door lock actuators work, radio is good, moonrooof is good, no lifter tick...just needs some maintenance

The wheels will be going away, the coils are getting raised up .50/.75..and the rear wing is coming off.

Front lip, rear lip spoiler, and roof spoiler will find their way on soon

Pretty much a textbook build, but just wanted something little sportier and less thirsty than my Tundra!

But is it really a sickness? If you told me you were buying used early 90s Camaros, I'd agree that you're sick.

Unless you intend on doing mostly highway driving, it's still going to be about the same fuel economy. I was averaging 15-17 mpg in my 99 GS400 with about 50/50 city highway with AC all the time. Now I average 12-14 mpg in my 03 GS430 with 100% city driving with AC all the time, and 14-16 mpg with 100% city with no AC.

Nice man. I love my 2GS 300 and plan on keeping it forever. The engine is so reliable and strong.
