General Car Conversation 2024 - part 1

Lead Lap
I had only purchased used cars and got my first new car when I was 43. I leased a 2014 IS250 F Sport. It was exciting to have a new car, but I am glad I leased it because it was a nice car, but dog slow. It was not much faster than my 1994 GS300. I leased a 2016 IS350 F Sport after that and wanted to buy it, but I would have been upside down and LFS does not negotiate lease residuals. I leased my Civic because I considered it temporary and I bought out the lease because Covid caused new car values to go insane and it would have been financially stupid to just give it back. It was a used car when I bought it out, but I am the one who used it, so I like that.

Got that plug in hibread
Swapped to a premium 3 amp fuze vs the no-name random one provided.
Nice and hidden now, I may try a setup on the 4.0 in a minute that allows charging with the hood still closed
The EV experience
This is what I was doing for over a year lol!
Finally took 10 min to attach my tender adaptor to the W12, I've been ignoring it so damn long it's almost sad!

Way too far for me to go look at but I saw this insane swap today, I'm just shocked it fits!
It's in LA if anyone wants to check it out

That's easily one of the best features of cars like this! I've found myself reaching for the control so often in the Jeep it's almost sad lol!
I'm trying that free Adam's top coat ceramic stuff, we will see how it works but it's going to be very hard to tell on the W12 since that one has a hard cost already

Saw this on FB. I remember when the Caravan hit the market. What a great idea
Toyota is an interesting company:
Looking at cars today. One is a Toyota and the other is a Lexus. Both all new for 2024. One made in Japan and the other Made in Canada. The bottom one is so cheap and wobbly. Plastic door. I really dislike the plastic style.
