Default End of an era - no more GS..............

Possible end of an era? No more Lexus GS for me.

Here is my daily driver now (yes quite a few hundred steps down).

Details on the car: http://www.xtrememotors.ca/car_details.asp?id=175

I cannot drive off without spinning the wheels.................. Still trying to get used to the stick shift and the ease with which it spins its front wheels.

The expression "no frills car" was invented for this car. Manual windows, doors and a stick shift. The only thing power operated is the steering wheel and the mirrors. Basic transportation at its cheapest!!!

Look at that wheel fender gap!!!!! Should I mod this car too?????????

The title is kind of deceptive since quite a few GS's have been going to the dealership in the sky I think you might want to add "......till spring 04" or something like that!!

I hope Hameed meant end of a season.

As for modifying your econ-o-box I say nay, save it for the good cars. Like you said, this is just basic transportation.

I too just bought my winter beater, pictures soon to follow.

Just teasing you guys!!! End of an era till Spring 04!! I will miss my GS driving this s##t box for 6 very long salty and cold months! The GS is too special to me to put it through the harsh Ontario winters.

Now I am a true auto enthusiast!! I have one car for the summer and a beater for the winter!!

Apologies in advance to Mike for posting this thread - not intended to downplay what happened to him.

That's the life - enjoying the following year round:
Sun, Lexus GS, and G-Strings!!!!!

Maybe one day, I will move South. I need to get my business off the ground and really busy, then I can move anywhere.

Actually what would be better would be to move South during our winters and move back up here in the Summer. Summers here are just perfect - not sweltering hot like NC this past August!

Your beater sounds a whole lot better than mine! My budget only permitted me to buy what I did get. Trying to save up for those big kahuna HRE's next year maybe.
