Default My GS featured in Dec.-Jan. PASMAG!

Hi guys if you get a chance check out the Dec.-Jan. edition of PASMAG. It has a feature on my GS and also CL member Jon Jon's bad azz Lexus IS350!

For those of you who know my story you know that this has been a long journey for me with many many changes and it goes without saying that this feature belongs as much to Club Lexus as it does to myself or Traffic Jams Motorsports. I thank you all for the advice and input given through the years. The helpful hints and the tough love which allowed me to arrive where I am today. This is truly a big deal for me.

Special thanks to:

CarbonGS and Veritek - You have always been there pushing me and providing a helping hand.

Vlad - Who took the time on many occasions to talk to me in order to help get the whole TEIN CS over UAS front suspension thing right.

VipdOut - Mr. Church and I spent hours on the phone and on Facebook discussing the build. He was instramental in this build.

Hoa and Andrea - Close friends and a huge part of helping me get through the many months without my car. We looked at just about every bodykit, set of wheels and anything else that went into the build.

I thank you all for your support and compliments.

Here are a few pics from the PAS shoot for your immediate review.
