Default Hello, new here.

I just want say hello to you guys. I am currently a student at UC Berkeley. I just got my 2000 GS300. I used to drive a 2001 Toyota Celica GT (pretty big jump). For now, the car is bone stock ... no HID, navigation . But I am picking suspension parts this weekend, and hopefully get some rims soon.

I think I saw some of you guys at the AutoRnD meet last month (I was driving my celica). Do you guys have any regular meets?

Danny

Welcome Danny

We are a good source for Hook Up of local goods and services. Just post here before u buy.

We also have a deep knowledge base with over 15 years experience in modding our GS's spread across 5 people. We have Guru's on the Is and Sc models too.

Just check the forum on a regular basis and you will be up on the local activities.

Yeah, 5 of us were at AutoRnD that day.

Yep, I was there too. We get together quite a bit. And really, most of our informal gatherings are bigger than formal meets in other areas of the country.

Welcome Danny.....

Good to see our "family" continuing to grow. There are plenty of great people on this board and you will always be able to find the answers and help you need.

I work in Berkeley and sometimes drive my GS to work..usually my IS though. Hit me up on PM if you want to cruise by my work sometime.

Mike

Parking is horrible and expensive. Leave the IS at home. There's plenty of public transportation (BART & AC Transit) to take around and into The City.

Yeah, don't bring a nice car here. I brought my celica here for a year, and it got trashed from the driveways, parallel parking, etc. If you have a nice garage spot with a level driveway, you could bring your car up. I know a few freinds who drive their S2000, evo's, and supras and have a good garage. But most garages have a really steep driveway, you have to open it with a key, and there are a lot of breakins.
