I would like to see how the GS-F sport wheels will look? Are you going to Caffeine and Octane next month?

Not sure yet. But if I do, I'll probably take my LS.

Thanks! It's so old that I think I'll do coilovers so that I replace those old shocks too. But I'll wait a few months probably.

Quick update on the GS. She's running and driving well. Still haven't done the front lower control arm bushings yet but the car is still a very reliable daily for my wife. A few weeks ago the left rear window got stuck down when I rolled it down. Since it wouldn't go up I put it in the garage. The very next day, the pass rear window also got stuck down. After getting a employee cost quote of over $1300 for the two motor/regulator assemblies, I was able to find a place in Florida that would rebuild them for $250 for both. I sent them down and they did their magic. And the best part is that now the regulators and motors are under a lifetime warranty. I had to send the right rear one back to them due to being damaged in shipping. But they are taking care of it with no problem. The left side works like new and I'm sure that the pass will be the same when I get it back this week. Here's a couple of pics. (Believe it or not, my 11 year old replaced both of these. It's that simple!)

Gauging interest on selling this car. It's listed in the vehicle classified section.

Sold the GS last night. My wife got a promotion at work and they are giving her a car so we didn't need this one anymore. I really liked it and contemplated keeping it but we don't need 5 vehicles. But I'm sure the new owners will enjoy it. Here's a couple of the last pics that I took of it

Default Sad to see her go...

Congratulations on the sale of your GS 300. I hope the new owner will take as much pride and care as you did. There are very few left as nice as yours, and you never mentioned that the window trims were all good...!! Wow. Had my '93 GS not been saved from Hail by the magic of $3,100 in PDR, I'd have made your car mine. Good luck with the others in your fleet, and 'Thank You' for saving that beautiful GS.

Thanks. I talked to the new owner after he showed it to his wife. He and his wife are very happy with it. I expect it to be a very reliable car for them.
