As Bing (Veritek) has already announced, the torch has been passed from one Club Lexus Member to another. Both of them OG’s and pioneers of the modification of our beloved 2nd generation GS models, it is a sure fit. DaveGS4 is no longer as he has moved on to bigger and better things, one being his LS430 Ultra and a new toy that he is on the lookout for. Don’t worry Dave, we will take great care of your GS. You definitely sold it to the right person.
Here is a documentary of events from the day that the ownership switched hands.
The morning started early when Bing came over to my house around 8:30 AM to pick me up. You can already see the huge grin on his face.
We headed over to the closest UHAUL to pick up a trailer for all the goodies that came with the purchase.
A good sized 6’ X 12’ trailer was attached and we were on our way.
Interesting Anime van that we saw.
There was a little damage on the trailer. This picture was taken for insurance purposes.
So we were finally on our way around 10:30 AM. For some reason Bing still insists on wearing these crazy sunglasses he got at Lidz.
A big peach we see every time we are in South Carolina.
We arrived in Charlotte, at Dave’s, around 2:00 PM.
Dave’s other whip.
The GS4 that we have anxiously been waiting for since December has been hibernating here in the garage. Notice Dave kept it on an oriental rug!
We pulled it out for a little drive.
Then Bing took over the driver’s seat.
Pulling back into the driveway.
A few shots of the car that never saw light. Last year this car saw 58 miles of driving together.
Dave, Krista, Bing, and I then went to the bank where the legalities were handled. We then hit up Maxx and Erma’s for lunch. Then we came back to the house to do some work! Time to load up all the goodies so I backed up the UHAUL.
All done!! Dave, you have a garage again!
We taped up the front end a little for bugs and rock chips on the drive home.
All the paper work is signed and handed over! Dave was actually holding on really tight. He actually didn’t want to hand over the keys. The new guys!
I drove behind Bing as we left for Atlanta. Here’s our trip home!
Of course, the break in race! Let’s see what this supercharged beauty is capable of! This little Civic pulled up and started to mess with Bing.
See Ya! That also means that I was fast too in the Navigator pulling a full trailer in the slow lane!
An Avalon decided to play as well!
I guess he was spraying nitrous or something lol because the GS was murdered!
Those glasses! I just can’t get over them! Lol
We stopped for some gas for the Navigator. The tape was holding up pretty well!
Gas was really cheap in South Carolina.
We made it back around 9:30 PM and unloaded the UHAUL.
All done and ready to return the UHAUL.
The GS4 is finally at it’s new home. Dave, it will be safe and sound! Don’t worry! I know he is already arranging the garage so that the GS4 will be in a garaged stall.
Off to the garage!
It was a long day and we all needed our sleep. Thanks for coming along with us on this trip. For pictures of the debut of the GS4 in Atlanta please keep reading.
As some of you know Mike (1SICKLEX) has been pwned! It was the very transaction between DaveGS4 and Veritek. Dave text messaged Mike after we signed over the car to Bing and told mike that he would be at the Varsity meet in Atlanta the next day. So Bing and I played along and acted the story out. We got to the Varsity early, around 6 PM-ish. Remember this is before Mike knew and before he got there.
Some other cars we saw there.
Alex the owner of this NSX. He just got back from a rally across the US.
Mike still isn’t here.
My parking pass. If you don’t buy anything from the Varsity you are asking to either get towed or booted while loitering.
Mike finally got there.
We kept him occupied as he thought Dave had left the car there. We played along saying that he said something about going over to the IBM/Microsoft building for a meeting or something like that. Mike still had no idea we were pulling his leg. So Mike went inside to get something to eat to wait for Dave to get back. So, in the mean time we walked around and took some more pictures.
I’m still tired from yesterday’s road trip!
I suggested to Mike that we take pics of the cars and us together since we are never all at the same place.
Afterwards we decided to break the news to Mike. We did it subtly. Bing unlocked the GS4 and reached in to put away his drink! Mike was like, “Wait a minute! Hold up! Did Bing buy Dave’s car?” Bing said yup! The original plan was to wait until it was late and have Bing get in the GS4 and just drive off. I convinced Bing that would be too cruel and unjust. All in all it was a great prank. Dave texted mike back on his phone and said “Pwned LOL”
The end!
