The only way i could have done that was if i had ridden in the back of the LS460L that we could drive. And that wouldve been difficult i went by myself.

Plus the driver may not want the extra weight of yours. I know I wouldn't.

They had the LS600h at the Hybrid Event in September. You could sit inside and experience the massage. It was awesome. However, I won't be purchasing the option. My youngest son usually sits in that position!!!

What hybrid event are you talking about. Or was it in the hybrid booth at the Taste of Lexus event. Wouldve been nice to check out at the NY autoshow there were too many people to even get a good look at the LS600HL.

Lexus had a special event held at a smaller venue for hybrid owners. The setting was beautiful, nice food, hybrids to sit in and see, and experts to answer questions. The one I attended was in West Orange, NJ.

It was very high end. Hot horsd'oeurves and a chef prepared them for you individually, wine, drinks, beer, soda and water. Desserts, too. It was in an old castle and grounds--held outside with heaters from 6-8 or so. I didn't take pictures, but the cars were parked around. You could sit and listen to the stereos ask questions, etc. People chatted with one another around small round tables (bar height) with bar stools available. They had the LS hybrid with the shiatsu massage chair that you could sit in, too. Interesting note, the trunk is small when that option is installed. Of course a gift, too.

For Houston's Taste of Lexus

Food and the indoor areas were MUCH better than last years, but the track design and layout wasn't that good as last years. Didnt have a LS460 powered on inside, I wanted to hear the ML
