Default Invasion of the 2GS

When I got my car 3-years ago, I almost never saw another one. The local dealer even said they hardly ever see a 2GS. Suddenly, in the last few months Alberta is invaded by 2GS. I see them everywhere, VIPed out, slammed, road-race style. It's cool to see, but I miss having a rare car LOL.

I am in Calgary and just got mine in July. I do see 2GS quite often but not many modded ones rolling around. The 2nd gen Aristos are invading as well though, my friend just grabbed one last weekend!

Haha. That's funny. I'm in Alberta too. I just saw an Aristo last night which is one of three 2GS including mine. That's a lot for my area. I got mine a few months ago too.

There's more and more popping up in the DFW area as they're getting pretty cheap. Seems like everyone wants to be "VIP."

Haha, not me. But I've noticed a couple every other day, though most are just usual stock GS300s or maybe 1 400. I've seen maybe 1 2GS in the month and half I've owned mine, that was modded with wheels, but nothing crazy.

Most of the people that have done anything substantial or put any real money into their 2GS in the DFW area, are pretty quiet nowadays.

Why would you want people who own another reliable brand to not come enjoy this reliable car?

I see a handful daily in GA. Out of the 2 yrs of owning a GS i've seen maybe 3 modded ones. Most I see are stock or have at the most wheels on them.
