Default Happy day today....

Traded my 02' GS300 SD for a 07' GS450h...

I just got home, but I'll snap some pics tomorrow. (pics below) The drive home from Chicago just blew my mind. I love this car.

And yes...it will get modded.

Lowering, Front lip, wheels. I only wish I could have gotten this before passnu2 had his Sad day. I would have been all over those sweet local parts.

It was a fun day for Matt....my phone was BLOWN up with text messages about leaving work sick to get his GS

Then he calls me and asks if he can make a pit stop at my place and put back his other rims and take off his new GSpyders.

Then he has 2gen owners trying to get him to take parts of his car

Glad my buddy was able to help you STEAL this car! I still can't believe what you got this car for.
