LOL. I did the same thing on Saturday afternoon. It was the first really good sunny day in NYC in a long time. All my neighbors were working on something or another...cars, home, etc.

@SC300Es Couldn't agree more - its been a while since we got a warm, sunny day in NYC for a solid part of the day. If I had more time that afternoon, I would've power washed both the GS and the house lol

I had Discount Tire rotate and re-balance my wheels/tires (in which all 4 didn't need any re-balance changes). They removed the crud/debris off the wheel's centers and the wheel hubs with a brass wire brush on a drill motor, and hand-torqued the lug nuts to 80 lb-ft in a STAR pattern. Discount Tire never lets me down...top-notch quality workmanship and professional...

What did I do to my GS today?

I drove it to work and to pick up my kiddos from school. And I loved every minute!

Bought some Tanabe springs off another CL member and put them on this past weekend. Used the walk through that was provided in the stickies section which was a huge help but it was still a very tough job to do. I am loving how it sits now and the ride is practically identical to stock. Here in AZ we tend to have pretty good roads so luckily I don't have to worry about big pot holes. Getting close to finishing up the mods. Thinking the next item will be painting the rear calipers finally.

Perfect drop from and rear

Still need to get the finger smudges off the fender

More like this what did i do last week! I drove my GS to the Pacific northwest, seattle! Up and over i-5 and back. On the way home to Cali, we had to drive thru a serious storm when coming over Mt. Shasta, the ENTIRE way until Redding. Car handles it like a CHAMP. it was like driving a sofa thru a carwash, no problems whatsoever.

One of my favorite things about our GS is the smile it puts on other's faces.
I lent it to my next door neighbor for a couple of days.
He gave his Prius to his son and is waiting for delivery of a new NX.
"Don, take the Lexus..."
