Default GATO's GS finally seen in Atlanta

As most of you know GATO sold his GS a little while ago to someone in Atlanta. Well the new owner is on importatlanta.com and has posted it up to show it off. take a look!

http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/...1&page=1&pp=20

Hopefully the new owner will treat it with as much passion and respect as GATO did. I'll try to keep an eye out for it.

you are right that a lot of people here don't understand the vip platform yet. but I see how it is catching on. you'd be surprised since there aren't that many "donks" on the streets.

Those Honda boys are saying all show no go when that GS430 would smoke them with no problem. Hope the new owner stays true to VIP style.
