Thumbs up The 2GS Throwback Thursday Thread

Feel free to post a "throwback" picture of your 2GS on this fine Thursday, whether it be from last week or last decade.

My submission, from Dec. 2009.

This had to be 2004 or so.

I still think the styling of these cars holds-up pretty well!

2007 when my balljoint broke. Haha, that was a crazy day.



Today:








I stuck with this car for over a decade and I still can't seem to let her go. Greatest car I have ever owned.

Thanks man! I need to replace some bushings and maybe some coilovers. Then wheels.

Yeah, I was thinking about selling her and just couldn't do it. I bought her with my earnings from my first job when I was teen. Used her all through college, work. Taken her to Cali, Washington, Florida and even Mexico! Never let me down.

Good times we share, me and my GS.

That's an awesome pic Seize!

This pic is from 2008. I had just gotten back to Houston from San Diego. 22 hours straight shot! Unfortunately, my side marker fell off somewhere between New Mexico and Arizona. I wonder if it's still there in the desert or the Grand Canyon, lol.

Pic of when I got my first set of wheels back in '07...really no other mods. Then more mods came with new forged wheels and LSportline kit with TTE front lip. My latest setup is the full LSportline kit and a small power adder. ahhh how the years pass.
