Wow. Do you really drink carrot juice ever morning? I drink a tea and a coffee.


So what is the first few weeks of the LS ownership like?

yup, every morning before I workout, I rotate between carrot juice and beet juice, have done wonders for my BP and great for kidneys and liver, as far as the LS, it's much more refined and quite than the GS, it feels like a tomb inside with the double pane glass and the acceleration feels like im gliding on ice, it's a heavy car, put on the highway, you definitely feel over 400hp when u accelerate quick, pretty quick, but refined and smooth quick. The GS was more raw, you really feel the gears shift and the acceleration build up, plus I had fsport running 20s in the summer. You felt all the bumps and road feel in the GS which I loved, but after being in the LS, I don't miss it at all, lol. It truly is a level above my GS, but if it wasn't discontinued, I probably would have never made the jump, but now that I'm in the LS, I think I'm in the flagship for good. Plus it's much more roomy, especially in the back, the front feels like the GS, but with much more air to breath lol.
