Default The time has come to sell the ol' GS

It's been a great ride, but the time has come to part ways with my GS 400.



I've had her for 8 years now and have always considered her my baby. She's grown up with me and like and old friend, a bond has been formed. I modified her from all stock up to the beast she is now. I TRUELY DO LOVE THIS CAR!! I always figured when I got a new car the Lexus would be kept as a second ride, but now that that event has taken place, it no longer makes sense to me

Last Friday I went out and bought a Scion FR-S. I have been studying this car for awhile and have decided to make this my new project car for modding. This will be the car I tried to make the GS into.
So far it's an amazing piece of machine. An absolute pleasure to drive!!



Getting back to the point, the time has come to sell the GS. Not for financial reasons (thankfully). As much as I love the car, as much as I want to keep it, it doesn't make sense to own two cars at this stage in my life (and pay insurance for both). I'm only 26 and am not looking to have a family any time soon.



I've also come to the realization that I either need to part the car out or sell it to someone who can appreciate the work that's been done. I'd love to pass this car on to someone on the forums. What do you guys think.

Here's some more pics...

Man, it seems like everyone is selling their GS when i am trying so hard to get one. I guess after a while we all need to move onto something new even though we love what we already have. Happy modding with FR-S and hopefully the GS goes to a good owner on here.

Your Scion FR-S looks really nice ......made that thing looks like a much more expensive car. They say handling on that car is amazing...good luck
