Yeah, I'm 6'5" so I know where you're coming from. The Lexus does have a neat little feature that helps me out some...

When you put the steering wheel up all the way, click the up button 8 more times, and it'll give you about 1 more inch of space for your legs. Not much of a change, but beneficial for me

Well I picked up the Lexus last night. Had a mishap. Tire decided to blow out on me on the highway. 70mph+ and blow and jump sideways is not fun. Got some work on it forsure. Suspension feel like bLah.

The camber and aggressive toe the car had didn't help. And I have just made it through a construction zone. I was lucky because traffic had opened up and there was no one but my buddy in his q45 around me. Stopped safely. Down side it messed up the quarter a bit. Ill post up pictures later.

It has awful bump steer and the back of the car doesn't make you feel confident to drive. It needs work but it run and rides good. Had a photoshoot tonight. Ill get share pictures when I get on my computer
