This was my previous car.


Then I stole a valet parking uniform by breaking into a dry cleaners, and got the Lexus posing as a valet parker.

Then I drove the Lexus to some old people's homes, posed as an investment advisor and got enough money for the BMW.

I read this thread bottom to top -- what a hoot!

I'm aparently a lot older than many of you, I'd get my own page if I listed all the cars and bikes I've owned, even w/o pics...

The car this new-to-us GS430 replaced was a 1995 Infiniti J30 -- bought that from the original owner with 92k miles and sold it with 100.5k on it. And it is the single reason I will not own another Nissan product.

Some observations from the thread:
quite a few S2000 owners -- I still have my '03, they are way neat cars.
also a lot of Infiniti/Nissan converts -- maybe my car wasn't unique in all it's electrical issues?

and lastly:
Batman doesn't post enough Lambo stories!! I do like the valet theme that runs through the series

It was a nice car, very fast and handled nice. She just didn't like driving in my truck all the time when we went out?

Eventually well go back to another German car but the 350 is nice, def a different feeling ride to it. I actually like driving it now that I lowered it a little and put the rims, before it felt like an old familiy ride.

Take it from me. That Truck will never die. i have a 96 LC with 283000 mile on it. Still has the orig hoses, and belts. Went through 2 starters, tons of rotors and pads, plugs and wires done only 3 times and a valve cover gasket. Oh and a power steering pump cooler that went out about 50K ago.

I have never owned a vehicle that has been so trouble free despite a lack of regular scheduled maintenance. We call it the tank

My first car was a navy '03 GS 300. Rocked that for 5 years. Now I got an 08 GS 350 AWD. Maybe an LS after this one.....
