La Costa Tennis Tournement in Carlsbad CA has this for Acuras.

I wonder if those "fake" Lexus badged cars could get in (I'm guessing yes). The next bubble in the economy will be stick on Lexus logos for Toyotas etc.

I need a magnetic Acura logo for free parking.

I get the first space up front at Ruth Eckerd and at TBPAC with the LS600hL.

Of course, I get to park right by the door with the Lambo, but that involves a different technique, and a different tip.

It's a great deal around town here with the Lexus. Especially at TBPAC you get out the door in seconds instead of an hour.

I'm not sure about Vancouver specifically, but I know that when we had looked at taking a vacation out on the Island, Lexus had a deal with the Wickannish in Tofino for a discounted room rate and the availability of an RX400h to drive for a few hours.

Kinda have to hunt for them, but the Lexus customer website (which we never use...lol) has some opportunities.

Well at the Vancouver Auto Show, they usually have a Lexus Lounge. you show your key and you have access to free coffee and snacks and a small sitting area to rest. It's like a small café in the Lexus floor.

I'm driving the Benz to the San Jose Tennis Tournament again in 2009, because I'm assuming they will provide free parking for me again.

Other then the Taste of Lexus events, I got free parking and VIP access to the Alicia Keys concert earlier this year.

I don't recall anything else I've gotten as a perk.

That's great to hear... I have an event to go to at the TPAC soon, so this makes it that much easier!

How's the Murc doin? I still need to get out to one of those meets and see that thing in person...

I'd like to know if there are any nice perks around the Baltimore/DC area (I'm a new Lexus owner - 2008 IS 350 just bought a few days ago).
