Default New...intro

I am new to the lexus world, my background was Hondas as I have owned almost every generation of Civic and a few integras mixed in there. Decided it was time to grow up and move forward....so here I am. Currently own a 2006 Lexus GS300 AWD that I just recently purchased from the dealership that employs me.

Hope to meet some cool people and of course learn.

congrat and welcome to the club. So you have a Honda/Acura background let the modding begin you are already ahead of the game since I have to figure you have had your hand in a couple of projects.

Thanks for the warm welcome, I am very hesitant to drop it because of what I have read here on the forums on AWD. Its a battle in my head what to do, I cant stand the gab....

Here are a couple of the cars that I have built in the past.

Lol.. the growing up part sounds so funny to me. But like they say "A Lexus is a Lexus".
