@mikedozz congrats on the LS its a good look and seems like a natural move up from the GS! Thought for sure you'd get a GS F...now you have to do a writeup comparing your 4GS vs. your new LS...

Congrats OP hope you enjoy it!!!

Turbo sounds like fun.

Can you hear it whistle when it kicks in?
Think car may be too sound proof but don't take the Turbo whistle away!
