Default Have to vent!

After being stuck with a 09 Nissan Murano rental for 3 weeks because there is a bullseye painted on my GS that everyone likes to hit, I finally got her back from the collision shop. The Nissan has 8 years of new technology over my GS and it still isn't even close to the power and refinement of my 2nd GEN GS430.
Absence does make the heart grow fonder.

I was away from mine for most of the last 8 weeks, same story, somebody ran into me, minor accident. Had a Lincoln MKX CUV for 3 weeks, then had a Ford Focus for a week. Was not impressed by either one, haha.
