Default old member, new car :D

hey guys, austin here. im not really big here haha but i had an 01 es totaled it in the ice(got a good bit back)...been sittin on my cash lately, looking at everything from mustangs to a4's to turbo hatches...but then i had a sudden realization "wait, they make faster sportier lexus'!" (thinking of competition like m3, amg, etc which are too expensive) and then i read reviews about the gs400 i was hooked. So, last night i traveled to ny and bought a 2000 gs4 platinum edition, 129k miles, 7,500....good price but needs a little work on back bumper...still a good deal. Ive been driving the car when parents leave and man...words didnt do it justice, absolutely perfect, handles surprisingly well for being so heavy, rides much smoother than my es, and the acceleration is almost scary fast....i will have pics tomorrow.
PLANS: DROP, 19's
p.s. what is that little spoiler on the back window called? it looks so cool!!! where can i get one

im kicking myself in the a$$ now for not getting the 400. i bought the 300 cuz i figured a luxury car doesnt have to be fast; also considering i have a 9 second mustang...but the 300 is WAY under powered...BTW, good luck with the new ride, post some pics
