Congrats and welcome! There is no reason you can't have a nice daily driver. You can't classify it as a beater though.

Yeah, I was being facetious. I just wanted to ensure my thread got some attention. I'm glad that its getting attention.

2nd gens will never be an eyesore or be outdated. they will always look good, one of the reasons i fell in love with the GSs. Even the 1st gens dont look outdated. Show a clean 1st gen to someone who doesn't know alot about cars and i guarantee you they wouldn't believe it's a 90s car.

i dont think thats what he meant. The Cheaper/more obtainable a car becomes the more the car is vulnerable to Garbage. Look at what happened to the 3rd gen Supra, now spreading to the 4th Gen Supra..Its a shame because 95% of the owners are non car Enthusiast.. Look at half the threads posted on these forums and the age group.

You will find a second Gen GS on every other block in Queens/Brooklyn, chrome 20s, Ebay headlights, LED tails and a knock.

The car itself will remain a classic design, but no one was really talking about that.

Which if you guys are using GS400 spring on the GS300 ? I'm thinking that I will atleast lower the car some because the ride height is driving me crazy, as well as the body roll at that height.
