Default Goodbye GS

Well, I was on my way to work 2 fridays ago. Light turned green, made it half way across the intersection and I saw headlights coming from my right side. BAM. A big giant F150 smacked dead into my Passenger side quarter panel. causing me to spin and slide straight into a pole. I almost died that night. Cars totaled. He only had 1 small scratch.

So I have no car as of now. Ill be getting another GS soon and a newer car as well. The newer car will be my daily driver and ill put my GS away at my auto spot and get everything done.

Ill post some piks from the accident.

Got my eye on a GS with half the Aristo swap. All i need is the motor and probably the toyota steering wheel. I have everything else at the house. Power folding mirrors, visors etc.

I was actually thinking about getting one as a daily driver. I really want to get a 650i as my daily driver and ive been feening for a coupe. I may still end up building a 2nd gen juust becuse that was the first lexus ive ever set my eyes on. its just the 1gs is kinda rare.
