Default New GS Owner!

So today I took a big step and moved in to a different direction. I am a fan of Acuras. Owned two TLs, a 2008 and a 2012 SH-AWD. Great cars, without a doubt to me. But, today I thought I will move a notch up in the luxury car division and buy myself a GS. This evening, traded in my 2012 TL for a 2016 GS350 AWD. A bit sad to let go an old commute mate. But I think GS will help me get over it.

So far, I am super excited and am enjoying it. Lets hope that I will be enjoying the GS for a loooong time.

Attached are the pictures of my ride:

Welcome to the family! What part of MD are you in? I am within the DMV area myself. Are you planning to get tints? Luckily you are in MD and not VA so you do not get pulled over for tints as a primary reason

BTW... your 2nd picture needs to white out the license plate

Shucks... Thanks for the headsup on the plates... will take care of it once I get home. Totally overlooked that. haha

I live in Germantown. I am thinking of getting 50% ceramic tint in the next few weeks. Sadly, that is not totally true about MD. Got pulled over for the tints only a few years ago by the State trooper. I still think he pulled me because I used to drive a Mazda, he said it was the tints.

Gr8... I have exactly the same history as you, owned 2007 TL-s, then 2011 TL SH-AWD 6MT. Last year moved to Lexus GS family, no regrets but miss manual tranny & Vtec engine performance

I forgot to ask Gr8 what options did you get in your car?
