I seldom drive the GS, but I had a work meeting at a local supplier site and drove it there today. Upon leaving the meeting, I was chatting for a bit with my coworkers in the parking lot. As I got in the car, several of them gave me huge compliments on the GS. Always feels good!

Going to wash it tomorrow and put it away for its long winters nap. The weather will turn to crap soon.

@charley95 What will you be driving through the winter? I see you have a RWD in Illinois.

Spent an hour this evening dedicated to a quick wash. Not bad for 5yr old paint...

It's a parking mat, it ensures I park far enough in the garage to avoid the garage door, but not so far in that I block the cabinet doors to the front of the car.

Jealous of you garage people. Construction above my place is causing a red avalanche of dust - keeping my car clean is futile for the near future.

Luckily now that I'm driving my Camry I care about what it looks like about 20% as much as I did with the GS.

Your car is looking great sir.

This is the spotlessly clean, climate-controlled garage (actually an airplane hanger attached to the house) where my GS 450h lived previous to me purchasing it.

So "what did you do to your GS?" Ah... you put on some miles. What cars do they drive? I think GS looks nice too. I was behind an early black the other day. I think it looks nice for an 11 year old design.

Dang... I thought you were concerned about making the garage dirty. Mine has four spots from Tire Shine products. Lol. Couldn't you just use the side mirror and reference to a point on the wall? That circuit box or shelve is perfect. My wife uses the circuit breaker box to tell me when to stop when I drive hers. But I guess if you want to keep your driving skills sharp, those yellow mats will do good.


Quick Reply: What did you do to your GS today?
