Talking Serious help needed...asap!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey gang I would like to know how do you stop grinning like an idiot when you were driving your car for the first time??? I just picked up my Belated Birthday Gift to myself yesterday, a 98 GS400 with 102k miles.......I AM IN LOVE!!!!!!!! I have to stop myself from start shopping for it b/c the holidays are coming up...I already have a set of 19'' wheels in my closet for it for a few months now, and would like a good idea for tire sizes. I will drop it on coils next year, don't want to be scraping the ground but want to be low, so may go with Tein CS, since I saw some good reviews on the forum. I will get pictures up when I get a break from school, finals are around the corner!! Thanks for all the help although you may not know it, I have been watching what has been going on for a while, now if only I can get this silly grin off my face!!!!!!!!!

You and I, Steve. I've only got '01 spec GS parts on my 400 (tails, grille, shift **** etc.) and I love this thing everyday I hop into it.

You can thank me for pics of the shift ****, Parker.

I think I'm going to start sourcing out some 01' spec parts myself. Just another few weeks of saving.
