It's a bummer.
Are you sure? My 2008 GS350 AWD arrived this Tuesday and it has a spare and jack tools in the trunk.

Are they still selling GS350 RWD in the Ny and NJ area, or are they all AWD there now.

That's good! Just make sure you don't blind yourself when looking at the spare. That's one bright yellow donut!

It's home!!!!!!!!
Just did some interior detailing with Protectant 303 on the vinyl and it got too dark.
Tomorrow,I'll finish the 303 on the vinyl.Hit the leather with conditioner and then detail the car with a couple of coats of Zaino.
Then I'll take some pics.


AND I DO HAVE A COMPACT SPARE TIRE!!!

It's stock except for my new tips which are the only pics I have at this point.
The tips look better in person.
Even more as yesterday I just polished them with some Semichrome polish and a round in the tip buffer on my drill.The iside shines like the outside.
New personalized NJ sea shore theme plates on order.
Can't deal with the YAM....

Borla ovals.I believe the part# is 20155.$126 for both.
I didn't want them sticking out too far regardless of the embossed Borla emblem on top or not.You can't really read the Borla.
Meineke had to cut the tips a bit and spot weld them on.
