i smile everytime i step inside my GS for a ride, cuz I know that the ride that I am about to take, won't be under 80mph!!!!




I also smile, when I come out of a bar to find ppl leaning against my car like they wanna call it theirs, but the smile doesn't come when I walk out the door to see them against my car, the smile comes a bit later when I hit my remote start and they are like WTF, their spot is now blown and the realization hits that the GS is indeed MINE!!!!!

I'll usually find myself in my bedroom window looking out at my GS while it's in the driveway. I look like a kid waiting for Santa. I love my car and all I have to do is think about it and I smile.

I have my GS300 for less than a week so far. I'm still in that honey-moon stage.
Everyone that sees and test drives my car has a big smile and can't imagine how smooth the acceleration is.

And I'm thiking in my head .... 'that's right!".

I see I'm not the only one who likes to sit inside the GS when its just parked in the garage. It just feels good in the leather seats, plus the ML system just sounds so much better than my home theater for music.

My boyfriend drove the GS for the first time since the new suspension, wheels and zaino, and he was in awe at how it feels and flies out there, since he's so used to our ML now.

The car garners alot of stares and even more attention and he was so uncomfortable with all the attention, that he didn't want to drive it home after we let the theater. I was more then happy to get behind the wheel again

I've had my gs4 for 3 1/2 years now. I smile everytime I get in and start it up. In fact, since my mods, I smile even more now than I did when I 1st bought it.

Yeh, I've camped out in mine while work was being done on my house. Hum...hotel room in Manch-vegas NH or a dark-peaceful night in the GS in my driveway, favorite music playing...beer and munchies not far away. People thought I was nuts...I would just reply "it's a Lexus ya know."

Good topic TLW
I bought mine cpo back in 99 with 6k miles and now at 120k, it still makes me smile
I smile a lot more now that I've seen the 3rd gen GS(no offense, even my wife agrees),
I'm smiling again now that we leased our GX which means the GS is a keeper, and now that my wife is helping me pick out the wheels, I'm smiling even more .

I love my baby, too...especially now that it is starting to get some personality with the kit and exhaust on. Just a little while longer and it'll have some new shoes, too, along with some other goodies. I can't help but walk out to the garage every once in a while and take a peek. And driving...pure pleasure!!!

What's even funnier is how my mom & pops treat my car. When I go home to Tampa, my parents clear the garage for me to make sure the GS stays nice and clean. If I need to go out, my pops practically forces me to drive his car to make sure nothing happens to it. He says that he'd rather have his car marred than have something happen to my beautiful car. And I thought my parents were protective of me and my sister.
