Default finally got the car...

I wanted to write a quick blurb and thank everyone for help in deciding and finding a GS400 for us. She came a little dirty from the 800 mile trip being trailered from Cleveland but she'll clean up just fine. Time to save up for DGot's rims now.

Thanks for all the comments and the warm welcome. We went from a 525i to a Grand Cherokee and now to this GS400. I am quickly reminded how I missed the quietness while driving but the added (and touchy throttle) power is amazing. It seems you could almost hit triple digits without realizing it now (I used to gauge speed by wind noise and still do on my GSXR) so I need to watch myself now.

The interior is like new but the outside needs some clay and polish soon. You guys definitely raise the bar for style and upgrades. I only hope my bonus this year is enough to keep me going with new parts (and soon enough for those CA-05's)! Thanks again.

Default Congragulations

Congragulations......but check throughly underneath for corrosion, paint damage, etc... I notice you picked this car up in Cleveland. Cars from the Michigan/ Ohio/ NW PA / NY Snow Belt are notorious for salt, sand, rust, and pothole damage from the awful winter conditions there.
