Default decided to stick with the GS

okay guys...

there was a thread awhile back about me trading my GS430 in and getting an M3 out...

i had a long talk with the parents and I've decided to keep the GS... it just looks too damn good...

plus, i don't need the M3 to race with... it was simply for the name but i'd rather not have to deal with the little quirks that come with the car.. keep the GS... supercharge and i'll have all the power i need on the road to take out anything that wants to have a quick run.

so the parents decided to sell the 4runner, pathfinder and get the porche cayenne S

now im in the market for a supercharger, TC, and LSD. Maybe some trd sways...

and im in need of a new kit... the Quest 16L rear is done... i have the halfskirts and the front lip but i'm looking for a new kit to get... possibly the vertex kit...

lexus is an addiction.

I think you made a good choice with the GS.. The M3 is nice but its no GS.. IMO i think the GS looks way better than a M3...You hit it on the button when you said its the name... Thats really all it is, its the name BMW, with more quirks than the GS and more expensive.. Good Luck and enjoy the GS..

Glad you decided to make the smart choice I too would love an M3 - but my supercharged GS looks better, is more dependable - and oh yeah - is faster

Glad to see you sticking with us, I did vote for the M3 cuz your young and single but I like a nicely modded GS over a modded M3 anyday. I know your going to build a beast and can't wait to watch the process online. Good luck and welcome back(sort of).

haha i was waiting for you to reply...

yeah... the GS is my one and only...

the gs might slowly become a beast... but never to the capability of your twins... unless i go twins...

but not enough cash to do that... ... yet...

I think in the looks catagory, the M3 IMO looks better than GS. In reliability, GS hands down.

They are different cars all together, both have their plus and minues, but if you got $$ to burn then I would have picked the M3.

You made a good choice, but then again, you couldn't really go wrong with either one! Hope the upgrades go as planned.

Bah. I knew you could not leave.

Either one would have been a nice choice.

Default Yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeesssssssss!!!!!!!!!

Brain glad that you decided to stick with us longer. Now go do the TC, and LSD those two will definitely change your mined about the M3. Remember to put your granny pants on for the ride.
