1SICK, how you gonna act like that? <sing like the Tyrese song> I tell you what, I'm gonna be in Greensboro, NC in August and while I'm there, I'm driving down to Fayetteville to visit my greatgrandmother. Try to set up a meet closer to NC, and I will come, just to prove you wrong, LOL

Usually I gauge the other persons car, then their attitude, and I act accordingly. If the car is modded nice, and not just some spinners that stick out 2ft past the rim. I will look over, and if the dude seems cool, I will just nod, most times guys nod back, or roll their window down etc.

I dont flag guys down or give because some guys are ****** and they will diss you, then say, "yeah this dude in this so and so Lexus was swinging on my jock the other night" I cant stand for that!!

There are execptions though, some cars I see in this forum, I might run you off the road, just to say Whatup?

i've got 2 here and one kid is really cool met him at the gas station with the 1st gen gs. real nice kid. met another at another gas station another day he was a jerk. i was stock wheels at the time and he had some ghetto 20's and thought he was big slick. looking down at me asking me if i was going 2 upgrade my wheels. got me heated cus i said that they were on order and would b in soon,( this was when i was waiting 4 my wheels 2 come in) and he smerked like i was lying and hopped in and peeled off. but i saw him this past weekend and got even when he and his girl broke thier neck looking as i passed...

so not all r jerks , i guess theirs jerks in every model car if u think about it.

I've passed out cards, spoken to em and it's like I am speaking another language. In NC, holla at Dex or DaveGS4 maybe we'll have a mini-meet. Like I said, not 1 to come to a meet in over 2 years.

I don't see ANY modded GS's around my way, but if I would run across one modded, I would simply give them the as long as they are cool about it.

Talking

well i haven't seen a modded gs, but saw 3 normal gs driving side by side on 405 north to seattle . and so i sped up to them and think to myself: wow, 4 gs together, cool.
anyway, i think i will get side by side with them and see what they would do first.

I almost always try to catch up to them and give them the thumbs up. I have yet to run into an a$$. Everytime the other driver also gives me the thumbs up. Actually i pulled into a gas station in the 626 area and someone drivin a black GS followed me in and rolled down to window and it turns out he is on CL and wanted to remind me of a mini meet out in the area. Young or old, all the GS drivers i have met have responed with respect.

I usually try to tell them about ClubLexus but it can be hard. I wish I had a ClubLexus sticker to put on my car. I actually need to become a paid member so then maybe I can get one. Anyway, I wish I had cards or something I could hand them about ClubLexus. Is there something on this site that I could print out and give out to people?

Yesterday, i met up with same silver GS400 with 19inch chromes and aftermarket exhaust that I saw in the beginning on my way home. I merged on the highway and he was about 5 cars in front of me already. I raced up to catch him and pulled along side of him. I honked my horn and gave him the thumbs up.

He honked back and gave me the thumbs up.

Than he rolled down his window and asked where I got my kit from. I told him to go too clublexus. Not sure if he heard me do to all the wind noise. So if you are reading this .....nice car. I got most of my parts/kit from carson toyota. PM supratrd for more info on anything.

I usually have someone else take the wheel while i press my buttcheeks against the window.

Just kidding. I look at their car and if the driver is looking back I'll give him the "young guy what's up" or the "old guy nod", depending on the driver.
