Default Peace out, cub scouts! I'm a miss you guys

Hey yall, I figured I'd drop in and say farewell. I've had the GS430 for almost 8 years now and with a heavy heart finally let it go this week. While the car was awesome, I'm almost as sad about leaving the 2GS forum. From the great community spirit to always helping fellow members out, and the awesome picture tutorials on how to do stuff, I went from barely knowing how to properly jack the car up to tearing down the whole suspension in an evening. Checking out the donk thread on here today also reminded me of the laughs My wife's got an RX350 now, so I'll be around every once in awhile.

Anywho, eyes welled up a bit after getting the last of my stuff outta it and handing the keys over. Here's the last pic I took to remember:

What could possibly convince someone to leave the 2GS... V10 Powaaaaa. Loaded up with B&O Audio, Premium Package, Full Appointment II Package (miles of leather), and Milltek exhaust.

Lexus to a German high end luxury car. Jees ! Good luck, I would have went for an LS or GS460.
That S8 was my dream car back in the day, I like the split 5 spokes better in the later models. Take Pics of the front grill!

Sorry to see you go.. but yea.. the S8 is a beast.. just don't ever mess up any body panels as not even a top notch body shop is equipped to handle the aluminum structure.

Enjoy that Lambo V10...

Another valuable member gone, but it looks to have been justifiable.

Be sure to poke your head in every once in a while.
