Cool newbie with a 99gs 400

wanted to introduce myself to the club. I purchased my lexus in November
from a guy in California. In shipping the vehicle home to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
the shipping company damaged my front spoiler. I had to get it repainted.
I have added some mods since I got the vehicle and club lexus members have
helped me every step of the way!! Special thanks to GSTRANCE for the photoshop help
I even purchased my wheels from a club lexus member. I will post some pics soon.

You picked a great place to vacation.
I am a manager at the Mariott hotel in St. Thomas.
Let me know if I could help with a good rate / room for you.
