Default Figured I'd introduce myself

Hey folks,

I've been a lurker here for the past few months, recently made an account ( some of you may recognize my username from other forums ). I'm not a Lexus owner yet, but I hopefully plan on being one by the end of the year. Currently I'm daily driving a 2008 Mazda Miata GT on Ohlin coilovers, and while its a fantastic car, it leaves something to be desired in space and any long commutes. My "toy" is an 88 Mitsubishi Starion that only has 37k on the clock

I've been perusing the forums for the banter between the GS350 and LS460, still haven't quite made up my mind yet. I *think* I'd like something with oem air ride suspension though for both comfort and mild lowering purposes. Ultimately I'll need to drive each and feel out which one tickles my pickle.

Hey Echo, I appreciate the offer but I'm looking to get something newer ( e.g the LS460 or a GS450h ) which might not be for a little while yet ( need to unload the Miata )

I actually bought a mint 95 Lexus and it is tickling my pickler just fine. Definitely scratching the comfort requirement I had and it's been service with a smile all the way to the bank!
Definitely agree - I was looking more at the ~08 cars. Although, like you said, maybe purchasing something older like what Echo offered would work out all the same ( e.g. LS430 )
