wondering where my car is?

Its doing nothing!!!! Nope, it was never sold, never crashed, nothing... Just sitting in my garage with a hole in the air lines.

was taking pictures of stuff in the garage, thought I'd take a pic of the POS sitting in the same spot for 2 years now. Except today, I threw on the Fusa and Kintsuna for kicks! :)

Its damn dirty...

If you only knew what John has to deal with. Maybe he can take pics of his driveway into the garage lol. The GS is still sexy with those Ganador mirrors I rarely see.

you should see how I feel now a days. I gotta walk by it every day and its not a nice feeling to see it. At least now, the hardest part is re-lining the Air Sus and smog it.. damn Cali laws. However, soon enough, it will be back :runcoold:

Hey John, you keep saying the problem is with smogging it, what's under the hood eh? You have a little secret?

I mean, if it were a stock GS400, even with the exhaust it'd still smog...

Air lines can't be that hard to fix. I remember you told me it was a cheap fix when we were thinking about swapping suspensions...I'm down to help, as well as the rest of NorCal...BBQ/VSC GS fix meet! who's down?! lol.

Got any parts to donate? haha jk.

The biggest reason I neglected the GS was with the preparation of my first son. Now that he is 15 mos old, it allows me a little more free time than before to begin putting back together the GS. Also, ask Mdenoga the insanity I put myself thru concerning my car. He has heard every idea I had with what to do with my car, even a 2AM rant on thinking if someone would trade a LS430 for my car straight up. ;)

Soon enough, I gave myself a deadline to get the car going again...

One thing thats giving me a headache, that damn airline I need to replace. I can't get the damn "quick release" to release it hahaha

Man, yeah, fix that thing! Your GS was a big part of why most of us ever joined this site years back!

I laugh at how people trip on Cali Smog laws. Have you never been stuck behind some beater truck that a guy is using as his work truck, spewing fumes, smelling like poo-poo, yet he's got stickers on his plates? It happens all the time, and it's cause it's soooooo easy to get any vehicle smogged. If you don't know a shop owner, just go up to one in a somewhat shady-hood area, say "it won't pass and I need it to pass". They will make it happen, no problem, just a hundy$$ or so and they'll pass it.

Trust me ;)

Thankfully for myself though, cause those damn gross polluters really piss me off, my car passed like with such low numbers it was almost a hybrid. My guy said "your car runs REALLY good".
