Default Old to CL, New to GS *(56k...who even uses it anymore?)*

Well some folks might recognize me, others might not, but here's an intro and a little background info. I started here on CL with a 92 SC400, at the time it had rims that lets say, the SC folks weren't too psyched about. Anyway time passed and car was sold, then entered my next car, which didn't last long either and was sold as well. Rode the Avalon for a while, and then yearned to be back in a Lexus. But as I was accustomed to 4 doors, and with a little persuasion from a certain someone on here, he knows who he is, I decided to go with the GS. Low and behold a few weeks later, I had purchased Aka_Paco's GS, and it's now residing in Sunny, surprising, Florida.

Since we have a clean sunny week of weather on the way, I decided to give the car a wash and wax. Also I'm not a regular photographer and this was done with a point and shoot, so don't skin me for non-perfect pictures. Any-who here are the results:








As for plans, I'm going to remain stock, errr as far as it's stock now, ie Mangaflow Exhaust 14829's. Everything else, in my opinion, is kosher .

Welcome to the dark side, Leon.

Who's this "Certain Someone" you speak of?

Oh so AKO PACO went from a GS to an SC and you've done the opposite. Do I have that right?

Paco = SC -> SC -> GS -> SC

Jewcano = SC -> Sentra -> Avalon -> GS

Correct me if I'm wrong, Leon.

^That's pretty much it, but in the grand scheme of things, that's if we look at Lexus only, then yea that's the case.

Actually I never intended to give her a name, I don't usually name any of my cars.....I'll let CL come up with a name for her if anyone wants to . Then let Parker make me a sig since he kinda wants to.

Why would you want them larger?

*(I'm too lazy, hence the title with 56k)* but if you want personal copies, I'd be more than happy to resize them .
