I think I'm just used to having 17's with a lot of sidewall to soak up our horrible roads. 225/55 R17's are what I'm used to lol. My tires look like little rubber bands now.

I see C8 Corvettes and 911's driving around with little rubber band tires and I think, "how are those tires surviving?" Tesla Model Y's have some seriously tiny sidewalls.

I've been working in West Chester for 22 years. I can't believe I'm typing this but PA roads have actually improved in the last 10 years.

i used to live in chester county a very long time ago (malvern, exton and glenmoore) before migrating south.
my dad's buried in oaklands cemetary there, which was 1 (big) reason for my visit (kinda final goodbye / closure)
since i'm from england, that area always reminded me strongly of england (so many places with same names) and i kinda unfairly resented it for that reason, which was another reason i wanted to visit to see it with more perpective. loved it. especially ice cream in amish country, ha

PA is definitely a beautiful state. enjoyed the visit very much. west chester itself certainly got more built up but surrounding areas less so it seems. we stayed in kennett square (abnb) not realizing that weekend was the mushroom festival, haha. nice little town.

Just amazing that your Dad is buried just outside of West Chester borough. I've driven by that cemetary a thousand times.

I can't believe I'm considering this as my IS 500 is 3 weeks old but there's a super clean C55 AMG down in Florida. Thoughts?
An AMG that's pushing 20 years old? It only has 60k miles.
I really like the new GX too though. Maybe that would better a better decision.

I think I'm going to wait and see the refresh. If I were to get this and then they really stepped it up with the refresh I would be pretty frustrated, and buying mine out will let me wait until I can get the deal I want on a refresh car. Also always still have the 760 or i7 that is an option as well.
One thing I have considered to give mine some "newness" is to wrap it to change the color. I don't like vinyl wraps, but some of these new color change PPF wraps are amazing and really are indistinguishable from paint. I would want something that is factory looking...
