What did you do to your GS today?

Waiting for Costco to get two of those in for my front tires. I've had them on the back for about 14K still lots of tread left hope to get 30K out of them.
Will be interesting to see how the car handles once it has 4 matching AS4's on. Current tires are Nexen's from previous owner. Not sure if these are trash or not.

Said good bye to my wonderful 2016 GS 350.
Traded in my 2016 GS for any SUV as I got pretty tired of getting in and out as i advance in age. I do miss my baby though. It hassles given my 6 years of worry free driving. It’s not an F-Sport, but had every option available. Anyone looking for a great car in the ATL area check it out a https://www.porscheatlantaperimeter....z1bl4ga000909/

Looks like you had the rare 16 Lux, with a rare interior color also. That's a nice GS you had.

Something to note on the AS4: Side wall is thicker (ev comparable), the load rating is higher than AS3+, the edges kinda round, Asymmetrical tread pattern, and made in Mexico. For the rubber compound, they are the same as AS3+.

Bought a genuine new Lexus brand battery for $153 since my original one is 6 years old. I don't care what y'alls say,Battery Tenders work! I got 9 years out of an original one on my Corvette which I probably shouldn't have pushed.

Let's see now, $153 for a brand spanking new Lexus branded replacement battery with a 84 month (7 year) warranty that typically lasts at least 5-6 years - like your original battery did. That's about $2.13 a month or 7¢ a day or about 50¢ a week. So, for a little more than a nickel a day you think it is worth it to use a battery tender so you can brag about getting a couple extra years life out of a battery. Wow!
Think about that! a day!

Generally, battery tenders do not extend the life of a battery, instead they are used to maintain a battery in a charged state or condition when the battery is in a vehicle which is seldom used.

That's about $2.13 a year or .0058¢ a day or about 4¢ a week. So, for less than a nickel a week you think it is worth it to use a battery tender so you can brag about getting a couple extra years life out of a battery. Wow!

Should be: $153 ÷ 72 months = $2.13 Mo ÷ 30 = 7¢ a day x 7 = 50¢ a week
Thanks! I'll edit my post.
