Well I have been lurking here on and off a few months and weeks before I even got my car. I must admit this is a great group here! I owned a supercharged Camry (still trying to sell) and I spent time on a few of the supporting boards. I already sense a greater level of respect and maturity here. Well I have a 98 GS4 with 123k and I mostly love it and have some gripes.
I will get into that later, I have done a bunch of searching and still feel compelled to ask some questions, but in time.
First a big "WASUP?" Second, you cats have some sweet looking rides here. These cars are so svelt and sweet looking.

Oh and can anyone tell me how to activate my smileys. I have checked the preferences and it appears I have them allowed.

Here is a pick from the previous owner. I hope it shows, a little new at adding pics.
I will get some of my own in a few weeks. Peace all!

Thanks Bluelex
Didn't think that burnished came with anything other than tan interior. I need to get some potent vinyl/leather cleaner to hit the seats. This car came from AZ. The leather has a dungy dirty look to it and the seatbelts look the same. The climate is so hot and dusty there it is no wonder. The paint and the undercarriage look real good though. I noticed there are very few burnished here at CL, prob. because it is a grandpa color. I would have preferred silver with black but these cars, I found, hard to come by with the 17s,hids &spoiler for in the low teens. Found a lot at 17-22Gs. I will spend some money on it getting it feeling solid on the highway, redo the wheels with maybe a light gold clear coated. Get some gold coated rotors front and rear to make it look finished. Of course trying not to get too carried away as I see is easy to do.
