Default The GS has hit the 100k mark..... Another 200k to go! *Lots of pics*

Part 1:

Hello All. Some know me from my 60,000 mile and beyond thread.......

Give me a week on this thread and I will have a maintenance update at the 100k mark. Stay tooned!

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...many-pics.html


I purchased my GS from a good friend last September with 46k on the clock. Today she has 101,000 miles! The GS has become a keeper with no issues to date. Just the normal wear and tear items....brakes, tires and mods!


I will add pictures in the future wherever my travels takes me. I travel for my job that requires me to drive to five different states, so I get around,

Just a few pictures of the ride in random areas across the beautiful South!

My office window....









Sippin the gas.....



With all the driving, we both need a fill up...



Crap weather has nothing on me with a cabin this nice....



My car is what I call "My mobil office" I let the pictures explain...

Full wifi on the go with the hotspot from Verizon!




E-mails on the go.....


Ok....Time to cross some Southern ground......

Before I begin, another fill up in VA.....Keeping the gas bill low filling up in other states.









South Carolina......





Downtown Raleigh....


NC mountains.....

Part 2:

A friend of mine has good taste in cars and wheels



Driving up to Martinsville, VA I came across my old Acura TL. She still looks great!

I sold this with 215,000 miles on it a year ago. She is still going all original with 225k on it.




Ohh Rainbows!!!



Time for a little maintenance (on both cars).....






On the road again.....

Hilton Head Island.....



Another dirt road in the middle of nowhere GA.....


Finally found my customer way off the beaten path....




She hit 100k last week and I performed the 100k service myself in a day. That included painting the calipers, waxing the entire car and cleaning and conditioning all of the leather. Check my maintenance thread out in about a week for the full details on what was done.

A teaser picture.....



Take care!

Way to put the Lexus through the test. Thats a lot of driving but it seems like its mostly hwy which is less stressful. If i was to guess what u did I say something with Sales.

Ohh your old TL looks clean for over 200k

What amazes me most about my GS350 is getting 32-33 MPG HWY averaging 70-75MPH with one passenger, the a/c on and about 75 lbs in the trunk.
