Cool Me and my Car just turned 40!!

It's been awhile guys. I just turned 40 and my 2nd GS just turned 40K miles too.. I know that sounds ridiculous but I was keeping the miles low because I was considering selling the car at one time or possibly trading it for another car. Couldn't do it and just eventually just started driving and enjoying her. Pics of it turning 40K and me doing the 40K Service.

Its a 2005 GS430 Crystal White. (the last year of the 2GS Bodystyle)

Happy Birthday, That GS looks CLEAN. Love that clean white color. (Not a fan of the red stripes though).

Beautiful car man! Happy 40th!

How does the strut tower bar feel? Do you notice any differences?

Congrats! your car looks stunning! When I look at my 2000 GS4, with its parking lot dings, scratches, a bit of rust and 180,000 miles on it, I think it looks pretty good for a 17-yr-old daily driver in a harsh climate. And then I think, wow, what this must have looked like sitting in the dealer showroom!
