Not to drag my cars into it and go OT (sorry y'all) but they are all very special, both LX and LS feel special. I've been a passenger like once in LX570 until recently, even just riding in it is fun, today was fun riding around as a passenger. However Silver Arrow SL is rare and unique, and it's almost technically a classic Mercedes roadster. And it's so fun to drive, not a sports car but verrrrry capable nevertheless. It has impressive, flat handling and brakes are Mercedes brakes, enough said.

Verrrrrrry tough call.
Both are special for different reasons, LX is decadent luxury car above a truck LC chassis, that ain't nothin to scoff at. But pretty much nothing is as buttery as an LS430 (assuming in good shape).
I honestly can't answer. Guess it's good I have both. :-)

I agree that the driver ran the light, but it looks to me like the driver simply misjudged the yellow-to-red timing of the light. It had only been red a second or so when he or she ran it.
And that's generally what cops (and red-light cameras) look for before issuing a ticket. Was the vehicle actually in the intersection (and still moving) or not when the light went from yellow to red? In this case, yes...but not by much.
As I posted recently in another thread, that is why I have long been in favor of some type of device to let you know how long the light is going to stay green before yellow, and how long the yellow will stay before it turns red. It would greatly help drivers know if they should brake heavily to stop, or simply go through.

Here is a video from a couple months ago. I was going 55mph in the rain at 7am. Doesn’t look as bad in the video but had I not been paying close attention I would have T-Boned the car.
Sorry, never posted a video before so I don’t know how to make is show up correctly vs as an attachment.
