LOL...had to make room for the LS since it will be home next week from the auto show. I'm looking to liquidate and get out of modding cars. I'm into trucks now and want to do another truck and then get an exotic and call it a day.

this is exactly what i plan to do with each new. i tell my wife i'm only doing wheels/tires and like an 1" drop but in my mind i'm thinking, wheels/tires, suspension, audio, and maybe some performance/exhaust work... plus the usual tint and upgrading/replacing all lights.

Mark, let me know when you're ready to sell the LS, as I said before man if the price is something I can cough up I'd gladly take it off your hands. -Bruce

Wow! What a statement even if it's just a thought. $$$$
after I sold my Infiniti I bounced around with a couple cars and ended up on my true love in my Porsche.
Even though it's just a poor mans 996 haha I enjoy every second I'm in the drivers seat. With the slammed / camber / stance lifestyle out of my system I forgot how pleasurable speed and handling can truly be.
ill come back to a sedan just not anytime soon.

Congrats on the sale and please keep us posted, seeing your unlimited funding builds definitely put the love and passion back in me for vehicle customization
