Watsup CL well i am new to the whole luxury vip status scene (coming from the honda scene lol), its time to step up the game and start something new where i dont see very many here in Fresno. Ive always wanted a lexus, a GS model that is, although i would like either the 2nd gen or 3rd gen but the 3rd gen is out of my price range as of now. So am most likely gonna take over my sis 2nd gen gs300 as she go get herself a new car. Me taking over something that is already paid off will give me the advantage of being able to get parts for the car than worry about the monthly car payment. Anyway to make it short, already have plans for the GS already and going with the whole VIP scene, keeping it simple and clean, nothing major but it is gonna be a slow process but as time go by and more mods are done ill take pics along the way.

its a 1998 Lexus GS300, 2jz motor with 131k original miles and it is black interior!



here are some pics of the GS300 ( changing the lower ball joint ) sry for the poor quality pics taken from an iPhone
