Default My 2002 ES loaner

Funny, pearl white, just like my GS. I've had 2 bozos try to race me (Tl-s and Maxima), I am cruising, next thing I know they look over and hot the gas, sigh..

Car is EXTREMELY quite, wow. Controls are easy to use. Wood is very nice. Seats to me are flat, not very comfy. The tranny seems to shift up and down (only 9k miles on odometer) like it's confused if I do not push gas all the way down.

Looks, this car needs some 18" wheels BAD. But it looks very aerodynamic and different. More to come later.

Well, at work, I showed the car to a few people and they loved it. They were loving the Inside. Could not believe how big it was dimensionally.

A dude in a G-35 tried to race me, this is a luxury car, leave me alone (ya'll don't wanno play when I'm in the GS).

I am really feeling this car, does not FEEL FWD, very balanced. Took her to 100mph, smooth, took a while and floats on the freeway but quiet and smooth. Indash 6 disc was cool too.

Lots of Lexus dealers have '02 ES in their fleet of loaner cars now.

I got another 2002 ES loaner, this time a beautiful opel color. Popped the hood, it has a FACTORY STB! The hood is now propped up by 1 hood prop, not 2 (kinda flimsy).

I've noticed some car manufacturers adding STB as OEM equipment. To name a few; the ES, like you said, Acura TL, and even the RX has a healthy one bolted on
