I would love the next ES to have an old man package. I would pay $1000 extra. Old man package to include:
20% softer springs and dampers with optional protective steel skid plates for when you inevitably bottom out
Gold emblems
White wall tires
Grab handles on the A pillar to get in and out
Cigarette lighter (i'd never use it)
Super-Cushy-Seats -- Cloth only (patent pending) with front bench option
Old man exterior paint color options: Starlight Pearl Brown, Get Off My Lawn Pearl White, Kids-won't-like-this-countryside-Green
Heated everything

I'm ready. I still have my 8 track recorder, just need to order some blank tapes to record music off my phone!
First car I had with factory 8 track was 72 Grand Prix. Player was mounted on the rear drive shaft hump facing the front.

Wondering if anyone has tried additional driver seat cushions as a solution? Trying to find a right one. Any recommendations? I am a 5'6" slim girl. And it seems like it's not only the firmness of the seats that is wrong, but the entire curve of the back doesn't fit my body.

Anthony (that YT channel) is the single biggest reason why I bought my T.C. last year. I have always liked them but when I started watching his channel and seeing creampuff after creampuff I found one locally and snapped it up within hours. 50K miles, clean pampered 2007. Not 100% mint but darn close to it. No paper service records because the family tossed it (old man passed away) but I got a Carfax that showed twice a year oil changes at the dealer regardless of mileage. It's just a summer cruiser for me. My ES is my daily driver and road trip car.

Looking at old cars in online videos and old brochures, I also miss - on some cars - the look of wheel covers, some of which were really attractive and added to the beauty of the car. We don't always need to see the brake calipers and discs on ever car!

I had one of those once and loved it. But I also had to change a tire once on the rear and the fender skirts were a total pain to deal with even though they fit the design well.

I couldn't say whether there's any difference in firmness, but the leather seats have a thigh support adjuster that the NuLuxe seats don't.

Mine are also hard.
