I'm in highschool, I drive my gs400 to school everyday, and to practices for sports, and also to work. My dad had put 120,000 miles on it since he got it brand new in 2000. Since he gave it to me in may 2011, have put about 7,000 miles on it. I currently don't have any mods done to it. But I plan to soon!

Mine is a work car and boy does she look good working. She has a slight drop and a couple sets of rims to change it up every now and then. Average 1000-1500 miles a week, not a typo!!!

We just has a 99 GS300 run through the shop today with 247K miles. Crazy! Owner thought it was a GS400 because the trunk said so. Dumbass.

Guess I'm one of the few not DD'in my GS?

I only bought the car for sole purpose of a turbo/manual build. Unfortunately it mostly gets driven in the middle of the night on weekends to go play. Sometimes I will take it with my wife to the grocery store or for sunday running around town.

It's a blast to go rip through the gears and it's a comfortable car, but honestly I have alot more fun driving my bagged Ranger.

Work provides me with a vehicle and gas, but If I had a different job and needed to purchase a daily then I would prefer GS430 or LS430 w/ coilovers and a stock motor..

DD, as you can see. About 18,000KM per year (167,000KM now). The wife's pretty little Cressida was supposed to become the DD, but it's just such a pretty little car, and now it's in better shape than the GS.
Never thought my GS would become my winter "beater."
The most epic DD has to be Bippu147 in Calgary: 500HP, slammed to the weeds, he's posted pics of it in the snow outside of his shop. I salute you sir.
