Default Looks like we're coming to an end

Every begining has an end, and it looks like mine is near...gonna start putting the GX back to stock, then put it up for sale
Being 27 I feel very fortunate that I got to own such a nice vehicle, the comfort, luxury, off road capabilities, and KDSS will be missed very very much.
It's just I think im ready to move on into something more sporty.

It was a very nice run with you guys (and ladies). The GX forum is full of truly classy people, and im glad I got to experience it.
I'm sure i'll still be lurking tho, to see who does what...

Here are a few last pics before it goes back to stock...

Dan

*Parts will be for sale soon, so keep an eye out in the classifieds*

Looking good--what are you planning on getting to replace her?

How many miles on it?

The million dollar question... I can't decide! haha
I've been looking at:

IS350 (but it's auto)
G37 (it's a maybe)
350Z (maybe, but not sure if i want a 2 seater)
TL type S (meh, a lil boring)
09 TSX (I love everything about it, but it's slow)
STI (I think i'm leaning towards this, fast, handles, has decent cargo space, a lil ugly but i'll work some magic)
Legacy spec-B (forgot to add this one too)


My GX has 63k miles

Smile Good Luck Dan On Your Next Car

Good Luck Dan On Your Next Car! Maybe one day my GX will look somewhat like your.

If I had to choose from that list of cars...I would go with Sti even tho Its not as luxury as the other cars, its alot more fun to drive!

Have Fun
