Default Bought a nice GS300

Hey everyone. Just got my third Lexus.

I bought a nice 1998 GS300 about a month ago and haven't mentioned it until now. It's a black on black Florida car and in awesome condition inside and out. Not a single dent or ding on the entire car. The only thing I have left to do is get the crappy tint taken off since I just finished changing out the ball-joints and tie-rods. The car felt as if the wheels were gonna fall off...which I know is a possibility for the 98-00' 2gen GS.

I'll post some pics tomorrow when it's not dark out.

Forum humor

I've been driving my '93 LS400 with only 271k miles on the odometer for the past year and used to have another LS400 around three years ago. My weekend project is an '87 BMW 635csi.

As promised, here are some pics of the car:

Haha. NO WAY! I'm only just heading north, now that I replaced those parts.
