Quick Update - Can't believe it has been almost 14 years
Just wanted to post a quick update to the car. I bought this in Jan 98 and through a number of ups and downs 
, I still have this car. It has been several years since my last update and although I was hoping for a different kind of update 
, I still love this car and continue to tweak it here and there.
I still DD this car so it is not as modded out as many others. Even out where I am, I still get plenty of positive comments. I won't bother listing all the parts that are on here as it has been documented (somewhere) on CL. I'll just mention what has changed (all cosmetic):
iForged Techniks -> Trafficstar STMs
L-Tuned SideSkirts -> Veilside Exec SideSkirts
Added Veilside Exec Rear Bumper
Tom's Side Mirror Covers -> Full Mirror Covers
SportDesign Grille -> TTE Grille
I am now at the point of many older, existing owners trying to decide to continue to play with this car (add more $ to it) or call it quits and just enjoy it (or sell it). I still have a number of parts (body, electronics, performance) sitting in storage waiting for me to decide. Anyway, I did not have time to go somewhere nice for a shoot but I just got done washing and waxing the car so at least it's clean.
Enjoy.

If there is no major issues with her, just keep her.. I assume its Paid off, so just enjoy her until death do one of you part.. LOL -- i'm in the same position as you with my '99 GS400 which I owned since Jan of 1999 and i'm planning to keep her until the wheels fall off and then restore her and drive another 20 years! (when you love a car this much, its Sick!)

Thanks guys. CL love at its best.
Yes, the car has been paid off long ago. It costs me gas, reg, insurance, and maintenance. Part of my issue is that I have 1 car (SUV) dedicated for work mileage when I see clients (which is not all the time), and 2 cars that are for personal DD/Weekend use. There are many days when I ask myself, "Why do you have/need 3 cars?" (There is a convoluted story why I got to this position in the first place, but that is for another day. ) Both the other two are newer than the GS. Anyway, I go through this thought process every once in a while. Until I decide, I guess this is the status quo. I am not complaining, mind you.
I have about 85k right now.
