Default Newbie saying 'hello'

Hello...

I've joined couple of weeks ago, but I finally just got my first GS last night... one owner, silver/black 2001 430. I've been wanting one since the late 90's.

It's replacing my 320k mile ES300 as my daily driver... hope the GS will last me as long.


Here are couple of my toys, sharing the garage space with the GS.


I live west of Chicago... Hope to gather some good information here and make a friend or two along the way...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. =)

I'm hoping to learn a thing or two about the GS, as I don't know too much about these cars... (ask me about the 2JZ, but the only V8 I know is 5.0 pushrod Ford... lol)

For beginners, trying to learn what suspension pieces I need to make it look less like a 4x4, at the same time, keeping it somewhat comfortable.

Hope to one day, become a regular here... =) thanks again everyone.
