while on topic, what are the differences between the gs300 and 400, besides the obvious v8, navigation, and spoiler?

Engine is different as you mention
Navigation is the same and is an option on both.
Spoiler is the same and is an option on both.
98-00 only the GS4 has eshift on wheel.
01+ only the GS3 has eshift on wheel (GS430 does not)
Gearing is different in GS3 (higher, around 3.9 I think where GS4 is 3.23)
HIDs came on more GS4s but you could option them on a GS3.
Wood/leather shift **** on GS4 vs leather on GS3

I wish someone would have told this playa-hatin lady at my chuch that last night!!! I pulled off and the ground was wet to the tires spun, my brother called me and told me that she yelled "he better stop it before he crashes that OLD LEXUS into a pole!!!

My question, what the hell constitutes old when my body and a 04 body are identical?

I hate ignorant haters!! sorry guys had to vent somewhere, my g/f just laughed when I told her!

LOL. She was hating.

Someone called mine old one day. I was leaving the club one day and this dude whistled at me and said "that boy is PHYNE and his car is nice too" then one of his boys said "Chile, that's an old Lexus" and rolled his eyes before switching to his Cavalier I ignored it all. I cracked up as I .

Default HATERATION

blkazn- thats a good one!!! the funny thing is, she even said "them old Lexus aint safe" (note the perfect grammar, and indication of her mental capacity), then hopped in her 03 Maxima! So my little brother said, 'Oh he should go get a N-I-S-S-A-N, cause those are soooo much safer than that old Lexus!!! LOL

I told my brother, my old beater must be looking/sounding nice, since I have people just hating out of the woodwork!!

I have a feeling once I get my rims, the car dropped, the Roof Spoiler and the Lip spoiler, that people are going to be SICK and hating. By then I'll have my baby in a garage. Safe from the Keyers and Door Dingers.

the best part is when you have a Lex full of females and the system bumpin', and you can just FEEL the hate in the air... 'course I won't know that feeling again for a few weeks more than likely
