Word to the wise....dont EVER get rid of your Lexus. It will likely be the best most reliable vehicle you ever own if yours is like mine. You couldnt pry mine away from me....its too reliable. I think its something about that generation of GS series Lexus's - they just dont ever quit! Hell...mines got 125,000 on the clock and counting still....no issues ever but a starter at about 112,000 miles...lol. Who can complain about that!

hey MB... you ever sell your l-tuned suspension???

that GS isn't going anywhere... it is so reliable and still a baby at only 85k miles... if i had to get rid of something i think the 3G TL would be first on the list only because of gas prices and the Corolla is a champ when it comes to econoboxes...

Any S-2000 before '06.

Light, fast, fun, great mpg's. Easily turned into track car for blowing hardly earned money.

I need to get a separate bank account and start stashing away $500 a month so I can bring it home without a payment three years from now.

the 3G TL? seriously?

Mark just hit 159K on his. you wanna talk about reliability.

what do you mean exactly about the 3G TL and gas prices. what "toy" are you going to buy thats good on gas? Cuz I know you, you'll have your foot in it as much as I do.

i have no doubts about the engine, but i don't have the MT like you two do... as much progress the 3G guys have made with the racing ATF (which i have already done), i just don't sleep easy at night with the AT... it already gave me a scare recently... i'll gladly trade you the 07 for your 05

and you already said it, i'll have my foot deep in the toy, but it isn't meant to be good on gas, that is why the Corolla will stay the DD to offset the add'tl gas i'll be burning on the weekends...

No...I never did sell that suspension. Just checked...still sitting on garage floor in box. Probably end up getting tossed honestly...I have been actually making headway on getting my garage cleaned out and tossing stuff in trash or giving away to locals that will pick it up that need a part, whatever. No shit...it was like Sanford and Son out there....something drastic had to happen.

We moved to a larger warehouse recently at work...which has allowed me to move many larger things to there for storage and/or use, like the snowplow tractor, tires, ect. and its my goal to actually finish that project soon.

let me know if you are planning to get rid of it... i'll cover shipping and some and i'll use the springs for a subtle drop...
