Well yesterday I was driving A New 2006 Silver GS 300. I got on the 826 heading North, driving a little faster than usual. Then it happened. From the far left side of the hwy, this maroon undercover FHP Marauder pulled me over. I am sure you can guess what happened from there. Yup! I got a FAT ticket. Nice huh? What a way to break in the new GS. It was worth it. This car is quick! Now don't get me wrong I like my I-6 but this GS V-6 is FAST as hell and I am not disappointed.

This is a picture of the car I got the ticket in. Also the GS look much better in person. A lot of nice features. Including anyone who gets one with the NAV get a back-up cam to go with it.

How are you driving a new GS? They're not on sale yet. Just curious.

If you think the 300 is fast, you should try the 430! Significantly faster.

Hmmm...

It was suppose to be a March release though.

I guess only a few dealerships have some early ones.
None up here yet.

BTW, aren't you suppose to break in a car before taking it to those speeds?

I know, it's almost impossible to resist.

Your right its not out yet, but the dealership near my house got one in on Monday and I took it out yesterday. They are slowly coming in. The car is reeeeal nice. Very smooth car and handles great. I personally don't care if it doesn't have an I6 because that V6 rocks. The pictures don't do it justice either.

When I was pulling back into the dealer, Randy, not knowing that I was in a 2006 GS called me. I let him speak with the salesman after I told him what happened so he could verify what I went through. Ironic timing huh?

Bummer... Are you sure it was unmarked? Don't know about the law for FL, but I remembered when I was fighting my ticket a while back for CA. I came across a code that unmarked patrol cars can't give traffic tickets.
