Default Allow me to re-introduce myself.....

FINALLY back in a GS. Totaled my 03 4Runner 3 weeks ago, insurance company paid out more than I was expecting........long story short, picked up an 01 430, one owner with 72k miles ..........Honey I'm homeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! I must say, I should be sleeping all now but I'm searching for ideas like a fiend. Had to stop myself from going from the dealership straight to the tint shop, I'm taking this trip nice and slow, I already know where my final destination will be, but I'm going to enjoy this ride even more than my previous GS400 with the 2JZ GTE swap. I'll be looking for lots of stuff....stay tuned!!!

Mannnnnnnnnnnn, yall don't understand just how good it feels to be back!!!!! I loved being in my 4runner and my rental was a Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn( talk about nice) my 12y/o son didn't want me to give back that truck, but when we drove the 430 and I punched it on an open road.......oh that changed his entire outlook!!!! Lololol, everything now is " hit it daddy!!!" Lolol. Combo is Red/tan, i wanted a dark interior but when this popped up I said never mind that!!! Just changed the hood struts( nice 10min job) I am going to force myself to take it slow with this car. FORCE!!! Lolol Thomas it is great to be back!!! I've been searching the classifieds to see what I can ****** up and store away, lol. I am looking first for a set of visors but I can't get on to Nigel's jdm site!! I hope he responds to my pm!!

The set I had before had the clips but I don't remember having to stick them on, and they had Toyota on them also! Am I making that up or do they really exist? I feel like a newbie all over again! I was even getting frustrated that my trunk button on the key wasn't popping the trunk.........have to hold it down for like a second��������������������

Welcome back! For some reason I like reading post of members coming back to the 2GS after going to other "Newer" car models.
