Thanks..! If I told you guys how I got a hold of that Supra TT, I'd get shot... lol.
No big plans yet... I need it to be a reliable DD for couple of years... maybe few suspension tweaks for now.

Thanks! I don't get to drive it much, due to long hours at work, etc...

Thanks!! I originally wanted the SC... but with 3 kids, and already having 2 toy cars, that was not going to happen... besides, finding an un-abused SC with decent miles was an impossible task. So, I went back to my original 'want', and I was surprised how many nice GS' were out there, with decent prices. I'm just hoping it's drive-able in Chicago winters.

I don't mean to wake up two year old + thread, but here I go.

Shortly after I bought the GS to replace my aging ES, my wife confiscated my GS. She drove it couple of days after I got it, and that was the last time I saw my keys.... hence my absence on this GS site, shortly after I got the car.

Well, about 2 months ago, I got my GS back. I got my wife the GX470 she's always wanted. An 08 Sports package(KDSS) with 3rd row. So again, I GOT MY GS 430 BACK!!!

Since I last posted here on GS site, I sold the 350k mile ES300, sold the Mustang, and got the GX. (I posted few times over there on the GX site, great bunch of guys)

So I'm making 2nd round of 'Hello', and hope to learn and contribute as I originally intended.

Thanks!!

Welcome back, Kotter!

The Sports Package GX is certainly the one to get; it's hard to resist that black-birdseye trim and those black-pearl headlights.

Thanks!

It was more of a luck when I ran into the Sport package. I didn't even know sport package existed until I posted a picture of interior, asking if the color combo was legit, as I've not seen that color before in GX. (then I got educated on the KDSS, and the rest... drove 6 hours to get it on New Years Eve) Wife is very happy with the truck.

Yeah, I saw that GS family has really took off. I got list of things to do, starting from fixing the sub (wife wasn't very gentle with the car) and little fixes here and there. My wife is not as careful as I am with the cars.
