Ok , the first thing you have to understand is that EVERYTHING you do to modify a car is a bad investment. PERIOD. So why spend money on a 10+ year old car? ... why?.....Because you want that feeling of rolling around in a super clean modified ride that turns the the heads of horny women young and old. A ride that commands attention everywhere it is seen. A ride that lingers in the minds of young boys whom dream of driving such an awesome machine just like that someday. And besides , can you think of a more perfectly shaped well balanced and beautifully crafted canvass to work with other than the 2GS???????????? Sorry I got carried away. My car has 193k and counting and after a year of owning it I have just begun the mod avalanche that is sure to follow. The 2000 GS400(what I have) sticker price was about $51,000 (W/Nakamichi) brand new off the showroom floor. Consider yourself lucky to be an owner of this rare beast. But you should know that if you get springs ,you should probably get coilovers,and if you get coilovers, you might as well get wheels, and as long as youre ordering that front lip you might as well just get the whole kit,, it just makes sense. And what is show with no go?? So its only logical to get the srt intake and the headers at the same time you are ordering that exhaust.Right? Right?

Oh yes! I did before had some withdrawals about it's ability to perform at 200,000 miles, but I shook the feelings off my shoulder and drove it anyways from socal to Frisco. Not a single problem occurred.

I'll be there soon enough. I have no problems about daily-ing my car anywhere at anytime. My only transportation that gets me places.

+2 on that.. my boy Shadow and I decided we're going to try to get up to 300K miles in the next few years.. It may take me a lot longer as i'm only 21K miles on my daily GS and he's approaching 90K.. We'll see in a few years..!
