Default Finally!!!!

After years of wanting and waiting, and driving crap around, I finally have my GS I had been looking around locally for a deal for over a year, but it wasn't happening. So, I pulled the trigger and bought one off the internet. I waited patiently and the car finally showed up this weekend. It's an '01 430 silver on silver, 50k with everything! I don't have it on the road yet, which really doesn't matter with all of the snow we are getting up here, but a friend of mine let me borrow his dealer plate for a day, and all I can say is, WOW Going from my 1993 camry with 190K to the GS is like jumping into a time machine! I am sort of happy the car needs tires, because I will enjoy thoroughly destroying them before replacing! I have read all of the posts of others getting their new GS' while drooling over my keyboard, now I can stare out into my garage and drool instead!!

Thanks to everyone who has posted their experiences and information on the GS, which helped push me to actually take the plunge! MELT SNOW, MELT!!!!

Congrats! I went from my 1992 Camry SE with about 100K into my 98 GS, so I know what you're talking about.

Post pics!
