Default Goodbye CL, ...I know i'm gonna regret this later.

I've decided to sell.

I've found myself modding a car I wasn't suppose to. I already have a car for that (01 S2k), that is sucking my dry.

I need a tow vehicle for that as well.

So, i'm buying a truck while the prices are extremely low (and the gas is high, ...yay.)

I bid a lonely farewell, as I've only met a few of you here. My fault as I didn't spend as much time here as I should have. But, I did lear a lot of great things (the NAV hack, the traction control pedal dance, among other tricks)

I can say with all honesty, this car was an amazing machine, ...the only thing better would be an IS-F. I will miss it.

As for the parts, they have all already been sold, ...minus the SSR VF1 wheels (see thread here if interested)
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=365035

The car is back to stock now and awaits a new home.

Thanks everyone for a great 2+ years!

Greg

Can't go wrong with picking up (pun intended) a truck before the 4th! Nothing more American than a truck.

You're right, you'll probably regret this later! What truck are you getting?

I hear you Glily, sad to see the 350 go, but it happens to the best of us and possible myself included. My salute to you for all future endeavors.

Dare I say I'm jelaous? I've been yearning for a track car I could play with. Maybe 350z, now that they are getting cheaper. But like you, I would need a truck to tow it to the track. Good luck with everything.

ah, so that must have been your sexy IS under the Sprint tent. I couldn't take my eyes off it.

It was kinda sad to only have the kit and wheels on for only 3 months, but even in that time, i had to be so careful, and then the one time my wife drove the car to work, ...."Crack!"

It just helped me solidify my decision. I need something else (not that an IS350 couldn't be practical, but not with me owning one.)

Next time we're at a local meet, come up and say hi.



Thanks everyone for the kindness. I really do wish I had lurked here more.

TurboGG, i'm pretty much set on an 08 Avalanche. Loaded of course. As far as modding goes, ...I haven't seen much done to them, but then again I haven't really looked. Maybe some 22's or something. Like i said before, the S2000 is where most of my money's been going.
