Default I'm New Here

Hey. I bought an '00 GS400 a couple weeks and just stumbled on this site a few days ago. I just figured I would introduce myself. I'm in Atlanta, Ga. The car is black, w/ 20" Zauber Gettin's, Pirelli P Zeros, some kind of body kit on the rocker panels, no badge on front (which I don't like, anyone want to trade?), and a Stillen exhaust. It came with all this done to it when I bought it, and I got a fairly good deal on it. One of the rear wheels had a bent lip and I'm having a hell of a time getting someone to repair it without charging me a ****-ton of money. Anyway here's a picture. It looks a lot like GSTRANCE's (he's in Ga too). I'm not sure if it was his previously, but after me seaching for his pictures on here, it looks very similar. I think his had a different exhaust though and and "aristo" badge on the rear. -Grant

Thanks on the welcome guys. This car is just to get me by for a while. I really don't want to sink any money into mods for it, I just wanted a comfortable daily driver. My jeep has served me well into 160K miles and it was time to drive something a little nicer. I'm gonna keep the jeep and it will continue to be my favorite vehicle. The only things I want to do to this are put a sub in back (it was missing) and get a new set of tires. It seems like Nittos are the only ones that are reasonably priced. I'm going to get the NT555s for it. Again, thanks for the welcome. -Grant

Welcome to CL. Are the services up to date? There are some great places in ATL for service. I'm in Macon and drive up there for service.

I work at a Toyota dealer so I'm not that worried about services. I can get them done here if I pay one of the techs a few 20s.
