My GS300

My GS300 is currently awaiting its conversion back to a stock body. In its heyday (I bought it new in 1999), it was what I thought to be the ideal street car. It was wide, low, big wheels (20x11.5 rear), turbo (420whp), big stereo (5500 watts rms) and was clean when it had new paint (BMW Brilliant Black). Power to keep up with a V8 M5, the chicks used to dig it, and it was comfortable. What's the difference between fiberglass aero parts and high maintenance girlfriends? Nothing: they both need constant attention, maintenance, and money to keep them happy. I hate taking care of my cars (outside of the mechanical realm) so I basically drove the GS into the ground. Now I will be returning the body back to stock, widening some factory 17" wheels, and raising the car. This way even if I treat it like whore, it won't matter. Now you just can't do that to high maintenance chicks can you? Well some of them you can...


I never saw this picture of my own car until about a week ago. It's a pretty dope picture actually. When Falken Tires borrowed the car several years ago to film a promotional VIP video, I guess one of the guys snapped the pic. Somebody sent me a link of a forum thread about my own car too on club lexus. What a trip.

All I want is to be able to drive it very fast while being safe. Imagine a car expressly built for sprinting from LA to Vegas in less than 3 hours with some 130-150mph cruising. I'll post up the back to stock look conversion after I complete the work. This car is pretty close to last priority on list so there is no target finish date on this one.
