Hey guys. I've been reading the forums from time to time for a few months now and really appreciate all the great advice and pics on here. Just wanted to say Hey and introduce myself.

I just drove my black '03 ES300 cross-country from NY to Cali (where I now live) in January. It was a great time. I'm now at about 93K and going strong. I figure the beautiful Cali weather should add some years to her life

I got a few nice shots of the car on the way out here that I'll try to post within the next couple days. I look forward to picking your brains on whatever issues/mods come up!

I'll start with this- anyone near Fresno, the Bayarea, or Sacramento? I'm about 2-3 hours from each of them and am looking for some good shops to get parts, maintenance, and repairs done. Any advice?

-Adam

@IamLexus - thanks for the welcome, it was an awesome drive. It's a great feeling to drive for a week across the country and then finally hit the coast. Driving my ES up the Pacific Coast Highway from LA to SF was like a religious experience lol.

@MrJokster - thanks for the invite! I'd like to catch up with you guys sometime. I'm just starting to get into doing my own maintenance and thinking about mods, so I am definitely a noob, but LMK when the next one is and I'll see if I can make it down from the mountains.
