Thanks, Prime time - Yea, the car is not even broken-in yet! (I'm trying to drive it hard, it's one of the tightest engines I've had to break-in..)

Appreciate it. The car was crazy Mint when I picked it up 7 years ago with 18K miles. I wasn't sure about the Red Stripes neither, previous owner was a VA Tech professor..
It's Grown on me a little, I'm still debating if I should have it removed.

Glad you decided to keep her.
She looks brand new
It was kinda hard when you have two of them. You start to rationalize like why do i need TWO of them?? LOL but this car's condition is Brand new-like so I just couldn't sell it..

How does the strut tower bar feel? Do you notice any differences?
Thanks pal, The car kind of felt a little floaty and bouncy on the freeway, the STB really tighten the front-end up and less leaning around turns. It feels just right now, like its suppose to come from the factory this way.

No You don't, I always wish i had over 100K.. because the car is so new I'm just too picky about it. I say just Enjoy our cars, no more saving them..

And then I think, wow, what this must have looked like sitting in the dealer showroom!
Thanks, We all sometimes need a reminder what STOCK looks like. My other car, (GS400) is all modded up and it's one reason I'm keeping this puppy completely stock except the STB.
Also, the very first GS I ever saw and drove was a Pearl white GS400, this 430 is kinda like me looking back in time when I first fell in love with the GS's when they came out in 1998.

Thanks bud, that's the plan.. I'm looking to drive it until 300K miles and see what happens. Since I have two cars, It'll probably take 20 years. I hope sooner because I want a newer LS460... lol
