Hi there!

A couple months prior, my wife and I traded our Subaru Forester XT for a certified 16 GX460.
I've been super impressed with it, and with "Dad mode" kicking in (just had our second child), I really wanted to get something to match the GX.
So, last week, I picked up a certified 14 GS350 AWD in Starfire Pearl, and loving it so far! Looking forward to adding many many miles to my "new" daily.

The night I picked it up. Both cars are Starfire Pearl with Black interior (we love the matchy :P)



As I've come from a short list of tuner cars prior (Focus ST/RS, Subaru STI), I do plan on doing some modifications for it - but mostly aesthetics.
Follow my modification thread if you like - https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...s-koopsgs.html
The main idea is to keep this daily reliable, but looking good (F Sport bumper incoming, etc.) and adding some functionality (Grom Android unit on the way, etc.)

Since my previous cars were all fun with a dash of practicality, I've separated my "daily' car from my "toy" by picking up an S2000. It's so dang fun!



Some photos of my previous cars. I loved them all, but i miss the STI the most. Unfortunately, 2 of these were unreliable, and it was time to move on. :/

Thank you! The car and this site has been great so far, and I hope to be here for awhile.
The wifey actually has her own toy, which we've been doing up for a couple years as well. Fiesta ST. It's quite a fun little rocket.
