Default 1st-2nd-3rd gen GS crossed paths

This may seem cheezy to some, but I thought is was cool. An admiration moment for me. Thought I'd share the moment with you too.

I was at publix getting food and beer for an evening watching the Super Bowl. As I was leaving I noticed I was behind a 1st gen GS. The dude took car of his car. Looked very nice, clean. No visible dents or scratches. No visible mods either...oh well. I thought to myself, yeah take a look ya'll we got too nice GS's here..1st and 2nd gen looks nice huh. I was feeling really proud of having my GS...always am. I was right behind him waiting for traffic to clear so we could exit onto 9th St N, when in comes a 3rd gsn GS into Publilx. Now I've been next to 3rd gen and 1st gen's but never seemed to be in a spot where all 3 gen's are right next to each other. I though it was pretty cool. I admired the subtle curves the 1st gen and the curves on my bad girl and the more straight lined 3rd gen for a brief moment. I love having this GS.

People outside of Florida may not have known what Publix is....

No dought. I've heard Publix may do something together with Carrabba's Italian Grill. If you haven't been to Carrabba's, check it out.

WE have a Carabba's Italian Grill in my town here on Long Island, and let me tell you, for that price, there is SO MUCH BETTER Italian food.

Great story. I always find that most 1st gen GS that I see on the road are very well taken care of. That would be a great photoshoot, a highly modded GS to represent each generation

Thanks man. Yeah, it would have been cool to have a pic showing the GS lineage. I never seem to have a camera when I need it...It's still in NewHampshire storage.

Great story. I agree with Rich, all three generations would make a very nice photo shoot.

Publix is great. I believe thay also have some locations in Georgia

the way back from the dyno, my twin turbo 1st gen was on the open car trailer, and a 40 something lady in a platinum 2nd gen gs300 pulled along side for a minute looking it over. i was following in another car and she was checking it out pretty good. just then, passing on the other side of the road was a 3rd gen, black on 20's.. he slowed to check it out a bit too.. close as i got to all 3 crossing paths so far.

I almost had a similar moment earlier today. I stopped at a red light and looked over to the left lane. A few cars ahead was a 1GS. I then checked my side mirrors to find a 3GS slowing down to stop at the light. Unfortunately, I was not driving my 2GS at the time.
