Couple more plus the vids - you can see the LED turn signals for the front and rear in the last two vids. Turn up the volume on your speakers to hear the exhaust sound in the second vid as the car drives past on the Toronto Motorsports track in Cayuga, Ontario

Which puppies? The quad projector bi-xenon DRL turn signal headlights? Google SDRetrofits. Tell Fernando I referred you.

Your car makes me miss my Alpine Silver GS400. How are the Stoptechs holding up after all these years?

Hey Will! How are you? Wow it's so cool to see all this response on a 19 year old car!

I've had to change the pads only once so far, but then it's only driven in the summer. I'm almost at 100k miles now. Hardly any mileage for these cars that are built like tanks.

Hey tmf! Happy new year to you to my friend!

I didn't even realize the pics went missing. I'll take some new ones when the winter is over and upload them again. What specifically do you want to see? Did you get a chance to watch the video linked in my signature below? It has a short clip of the exhaust on a track I went to after the repair.

Mine was at 393k kms before it was totaled. I picked up another GS400 with 191k miles and it dyno'ed at 252hp at the wheels. Testament to how well they're built!

Any new plans for the car?

Wow, that's insane - they basically last forever. You mentioned Km's. Are you in Canada or just converted to km's for my benefit?

No plans for the car anymore - just drive it till it dies, which probably won't happen or if I get an offer I can't refuse (which is very unlikely to happen). I really want to get a Tesla Model S P85D or 90D, but can't afford one yet.

I've driven an S75D and Performance Model 3 two weeks ago and its just so different, I'm smitten. The Model 3 performance model causes chest pain for a couple of seconds when you floor it. Its just crazy, but not worth the money they are asking for it. A used Model S however is not bad for the money.

Yeah, I'm in Vancouver. I'm a big fan of Tesla cars, but they're pricey for sure!
