GX 470: 3
LX 470: 3

Wow, why would you have owned 5 SC430's, LS's & RX300/330's, are they company cars ?

I love the SC430 and LS430 as road trip cars, so I tend to put a lot of miles on them. For example, I will be taking 6 trips to florida over the next 2 months, which means I will put over 12,000 miles on my car just from those trips, not to mention the other driving I will be doing over that period. I usually drive about 50-70,000 miles a year. Because I have done so much business with my Lexus dealership, they usually let me trade in my cars after about 10 months without drilling me too badly so that I do not put too many miles on any one car.

As far as the RX's go, I have had some of them as work cars because they are roomy, comfortable, and can handle some light off-roading that I have to do in my business. Besides, for a few years there just wasn't another small SUV that could hold a candle to it (remember when it was just the RX and the ML in the market? )

Nice collection! Too bad you're stuck in Ohio and can't really enjoy the SC430... but I guess thats just another reason to take a roadtrip lol. Where are you at in Ohio? I'm in the Cleveland area.

Wow you put a lot of mileage on your cars. You drive twice as much as I do and I live in California. I'm assuming you do a lot of driving because of your job? At least when you're driving you have one of the most comfortable cars out there. Happy driving and drive safely.

Yes, I do a lot of driving daily for work and also some of my trips are for work (like the PGA show in Orlando).

So........just out of curiosity......... why, then, the saab 9-3 username?

( I know I have a non-Lexus Road Runner avitar...one of my favorite cars as a youth was the Plymouth Road Runner...I liked the car's bird graphics and Beep-Beep horn ).

So the real question is do you have a favorite Lexus?



Is there one that you cant live without? The RX LS or SC would be my guess...

As I mentioned before, this was originally my son's username, but once he showed me these forums I kind of stole it He used to have a Saab9-3 back in '99 and he started using that as his name on different boards. He hasn't had that car for about 5 years now, but he still uses the name

Well, you used to have 3 Lexus at the same time, not bad at all but you still have a long way to go to catch up with him
