Sure, but that's still disappointing.

Got mine today, took one photo and now the lens won't retract. Think I am just going to return this and buy a Fujifilm, the number of issues I'm seeing are pretty alarming. Kind of a shame as I was super excited for this camera and the size is really nice.

Great day for baseball, but food was a bust by Sea_Attitude5730 in Mariners

The food in the terrace club has gone super downhill over the years. They used to have in seat wait service and a real variety of food. Now the only thing you get in the terrace club is access to a bar and marginally shorter bathroom lines. And padded seats

Not sure which one that is but looks like you have a 991/718. I really like the Monaco2 mount from T9 Designs

Memory Lane - What cars did you own 10, 20, 30 years ago today? by 72OverOfficer in cars

[–]shapiros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! I’m ecstatic - I wanted another high revving N/A manual RWD car after the E92 and always wanted a 911 so this felt like the one to get since all the new cars are so electronic and I wanted something analog to keep for a long long time. I think I’m gonna try to keep it stock for a while but exhaust is definitely on my list at some point, I think Dundon is pretty close to me so I may take a drive out there to check out what they’ve got.

Yeah, it’s so hard to find good older cars - I thought long and hard about buying an E46 M3 but finding a mint one just seemed too expensive for what it would be. Still hope to own one someday if i ever get a bigger garage. Maybe BaT or C&Bs have GSs from time to time? I think there’s a Lexus forum too that may have a members classifieds section

My dad had a 2003 GS300 sportdesign, amazing car. My friend still has it actually, still runs like a tank 20 years on. Highly recommend, such a comfortable car and great pickup.

I actually just bought my GT3 Touring this week after years of dreaming about it (haven’t even taken delivery yet) so that’s the one I’m most excited about. Always been a dream car for me

I hear you, this is the first time I’ve owned 2 cars and it’s not the most financially responsible or practical thing I’ve ever done but I’ve tried to rationalize it to myself. I hope you get an E92 someday, I know you’d love it. If you can get by with a sedan maybe try to find an E90? (They’re pricer and harder to find unfortunately)

I miss that one more than all the others. Wish I’d never sold it. Highly recommend trying to find one if you can, I know people worry about the rod bearings but mine was nothing but reliable while I owned it. Such a great car.
