Default From S2000 and Evo to IS 350 and GS 300 AWD

Howdy,

Just got my 06 Lexus GS 300 AWD and I love it. We also recently purchased my wife's 06 IS 350 a few months ago. We got an excellent deal on both since 07 were out and we don't regret our purchases one bit! I attached a pic of our previous cars (anyone remeber seeing it in 1/06 Car and Driver 10 best?) and our new rides. What a difference. We are both bonifed car nuts, as evident by the differences in vehicles, and we had previously owned an IS 300. We are back in the family and wanted to say Hello! Lots of good information here as well.

Nice Rides! Welcome to the club.. I went from a heavily modded Porsche Boxster S to my GS so i know where you're coming from! Now you have two clean slates, so let the mods begin!

Very nice! Man the GS looks good in white. I shopped for the GS a few months back (with no luck) and my first requirement was that it has to be white exterior.
I'm now looking to get the 07 GS350. Mind if I ask how much you paid for yours? What options did you add?

That is funny. I still had stock wheels, but I had tint. I bet you had the UK evo badge on the back too? My wife ask me what I liked best on the GS, I told her having cruise!

Nope! Modified & debadged.

I guess you didn't notice the limo tint for the back 3 windows. It is illegal to tint the front in NJ.

LOL thats funny as hell bro! I know what you mean, I think the EVO's and STi's are fast and all, but I just don't think I could give up so many basic creature comforts for speed. I think I'd just have to find a fast car WITH the comfort! lol

Enjoy the Lexus cars, the Mrs. looks to be very happy with hers.
