Default Just bought my GS350 yesterday! How'd I do?

Brand New. Drove it home last night and put about 100 miles just cruisin' the dallas freeways and taking some friends for a spin. What a great car and it's fun to drive. The technology is ridiculous, even for a tech-savvy 27 year old like myself! I can't say enough about the car.

Pics coming soon

I was told there was no need for "breaking in"

unless you mean getting some skanks in there and taking a trip to poundtown...

Congrats, and welcome to the Dallas GS Owners' Club!

I waited until mine was broken in, but I've taken it up to 90mph on the Tollway. For as solid and planted as the car felt, it was like I was going 50.

Please don't take any skanks to pound town; you'll last a minute but the herpes will last you a lifetime :P

congrats on the car , but I would recommend it brake it in , at least the first 650 to 750 miles take it easy I know it sounds sick when u step on it, just an advice , its all up to u, but u will have heads turning. enjoy it.
