The regular one. I'd love to get my hands on a hybrid one to try out if I can, as that's what I would most likely purchase for myself.

When the GS first came out I loved them. A friends father had one and I remember being in it and just being in awe of it. Yours looks phenomenal. If I remember correctly his was the dark green one which was nice back then.

The rims and paint job really make it pop.

Hopefully someone loved it enough to keep it on the road a few more years!

Thanks, I miss it sometimes. Last I heard, the car is in the South somewhere and it’s still on the road. I saw a photo and the owner changed the wheels. I saw a photo and it looked great with the new setup.

You aren't kidding! There is NEVER a Tundra available at the dealer to look at when I am there.

Ditto.

It shouldn't have to be that way but it is needed and appeciated, IMO.

The sticky rules is a work of art and they need to bronze it.

Come in throwing rocks, hurling insults, and trolling and get banned, right on, thank you mods!

except the ev vs ice debates have just moved there.

one of those bronzed rules is don't be repetitive... now that's funny!

to me the forum adds zero value. car chat will become certainly be quiet. all we'll need is this thread.
