traded my s2000 for a gs300

i kno i kno...

i said i wouldn't get rid of my s2000. i am in pretty tight with j.eagle acura and a clean 99 gs300 came in and my boy gave me a call...

i got a great deal on it...didn't lose much on my s2000, so i did it. i have always wanted a lexus slammed on 20''s (staggered!) and now i have it. i know alot of you would prefer the 400 but i still have my cl-s to please me with speed. shit for 4000.00 i can turbo the lexo...

sorry guys no pics until its on the SLAB with 20''s. im getting axis se7en mods...20x9 fronts 20x10 rears. car is blk on tan. i really love darker interior but since this is a car i wanted for such a long time and i got a good deal i had to take it. it's nice to have two cars BOTH kids can ride in! now....if i could just find me a tan leather car seat(cl has matching blk leather baby seat)... . give me about a month 1/2 and the lex bubble will be ready to ''show off''.

all the fun in the world.
i think i paid on it 3 times... another part of it was... i wrecked the s2000 after having it for probably 2 weeks. i rear ended a prelude... went under his rear bumper because he stopped so damn sudden. even though i hit him from the back he didnt do shit he just took off with no info and said he was sorry. i was gonna fucking kill him when i saw the front of my car but I hit him so what could i do. the guy was scared as shit so i didn't have any problems with him...
4000.00 worth of damage to my s2000. i got it all fixed and it was as good as new but i wont lie to you. i am a fuking retard in a fast car. i drive like a total idiot when im in the s2000. the car just asks for the 9k redline!

i put 4k on it... and it wasn't an easy 4k!

Good luck with the Lexus.

You can't think that you traded the S2K FOR the GS...but I know that 4 doors might work out better. Next time you are in beantown....

Welcome to the darkside my brothers (not the BMW darkside, the other darkside)....

Yes, you can turbo you GS 3 anytime you want and make it quicker than a 400/430. I am positive you will mod it's suspension, especially coming from a S2000. When we went to Deal's Gap last year to tame the Dragon, we had a cool S2000 guy come with us and he was in the lead group. No Gs was close behind.

The GS has some VERY pimp aspects. You can REALLY do alot with that car. Rims look off the hook on it, it makes it look TOTALLY different.

Dropped, nice rims, dark tint, boomin' system. Maybe a ground fx kit too. My boy has a black 430, tight!

Good selection bro. . The S2000 doesn't have near the practicality of the GS. Comfy backseats too are a major plus.
I can't tell you how many times I've been laid out in the back of a GS after a long night of clubs. Pure AC blowin' my way, ahhhhhh.....Love that lexus smell!

I'm just shocked! This was out of the blue!!!

He probably soiled himself when he saw 200+ pounds (I'm just guessing) of anger get out of the S2000. :P

Congrats on the new ride.

I knew about the wreck but promised I wouldn't tell. I'm just a little upset that I didn't get to drive the S2000. BTW congrats on the GS300 now put some Sprewells on that bitch!

i have to agree with the others about how nice of a car the GS is..my mom has one and she let me drive it down to san diego once..and i must say...the gs is one comfortable ride. very nice stock sound system and very smooth as well. i like my cl better of course..actually feels more luxurious if that makes any sense, but anyway...it was a good choice regardless of the cons..i assure you there are many pros along with it..congrats!

g-dubb- no problem, call my cell. alot of my friends said i didn't fit the s2000. i don't think i didn either but damn that car was a blast to drive. 713 478 8336

gunmetal- yep i live on dulles and ave e. anytime your ready.. leme kno

scrib- i kno i kno. it was so hard getting my shit out of the s2000 and saying good-bye. i did whats best in the long run though.

bluto- HA-HA just as long as he didn't claim shit... and he didn't! whatever works! i wasn't gonna kick his ass but i screamed at him at 1st. real nice guy obviously.

blackcls4life- sorry you didn't get a test drive. if you want we can hook up and go to john eagle and take it out for a while. they wouldn't have a problem with it. i've bought every car i have ever had there except for two.

i just want my damn 20''s!!! the axis mods in 20x10 have a 4'' lip!
