Default D got A NEW CAR!!!!

Hey guys just drove home a 98 GS400-Burnished Gold/Tan, HID, NAK! I have been car shopping for a few months and put this deal together last weekend, but I kept quiet until the deal was sealed. The car has 79k on the clock and I STOLE it!!! The dealer needed to move it so I jumped on it. I took some pics with my cameraphone, but will post more, better quality pics tomorrow.

Thanks to 2001HitechGS for helping me remove my A/V stuff, and listening to my babbling

Also thanks to Bluelex for listening as I went from car to car, with my ever changing mind!! Its good to have a sounding board for all of the crazy ideas in my head!!

Thanks man, I still have ALL my mods, the only thing I left on the car was the suspension, I even kept my headrests AND floormats!! I will be modding soon, but i dont know if I'll put the wheels on only to have to remove them, carrying 20" wheels up 3 flights is no easy job!!

Here are my rollers keeping nice and warm in the living room!! LOL
