another guy was checking her out!
Came out of the restaurant after a nice meal with my wife and found this guy checking her out! My GS350 that is 
He had parked his SC430 across from my car and was "admiring the lines".
This ever happen to you guys/gals?
I've noticed that other Lexus owners tend to do this a lot!

I never used to get attention on the GS until I put the rims on - now I get people driving past the house, pulling up, getting out the car, and taking a look! :O
Best compliment ever came from a Ferrari F355 owner (someone I surprised on a clear highway) where I said "nice car" at the end and he responded "nice car - nice wheels".
Can't imagine what will happen when I go nuts on the car with a FMIC, single, etc
.
Whoops - sorry I've got a Mk2 Aristo...however I do tend to just stare when a mk3 GS drives past - still not seen a LS460 yet though

It happens all the time.One time,I came out of a diner to find a couple walking around the car.I even had a guy in an M5 breaking his neck looking at the car as he drove by. In my opinion,it's one of the nicest cars made,and,not because I own one.

Yes, I have seen it in the parking lot where I work. We have a lot of BMW (3/5 series), Acura TL, and Lexus RX drivers that are checking my ride. But than, I also park all the way at the end of the lot closer to the exit with no cars around. I few weeks back one of the sales guys who was taking me to lunch meeting in his new '07 MB S550, went out of the way to drive around my car to check it out. It was like a big black shark circling around
In my area where I live, 3GS are still a rare species and gets a lot of attention. The whole area is crawling with RX and last year-model ES cars.

I was the only 3GS in my neighborhood for a couple of weeks... then out of the blue another Starfire Pearl 3GS shows up - but his is a stock GS300 I found this out because my neighbor complained that I passed by him twice without waving

Same as skeet94, after I put on chrome rims, people seem to admire it a lot. Prior to the rims, not to much attention just an occassional look to see what kind of car it is. I also keep it very clean. There aren't a lot of 3GS's around in Hawaii unlike ES and IS, there are tons. Not to be boasting. but I think many people question how a guy like me is driving a car like that. I don't fit the image but I work hard and paid for it all myself and I feel fortunate to own this nice car.
