Default Newbie saying Hi!

Hi all! We just purchased our first Lexus on Saturday - a 2008 GS460 - Black Sapphire Pearl with Parchment interior (pic attached). She's SO smooth - I just love her so far. We named her Pandora.

Just wanted to introduce myself and I look forward to learning more about our new baby.

Cheers!

Oooh - no mods at this point, but I'm interested to see what everyone has done as I explore around. I wish there was an easy way to hack into the navigation system to be able to operate it while driving - I can see already that this will be an irritant for me!

Does anyone use protective mat covers, and if so, anything you recommend that doesn't look cheesy? With the light colors it's going to show the dirt pretty quickly! Thanks!

She's a 2008 GS460 with 20k miles on it. Mint condition. Got it for $35,200 at West Palm Beach Lexus dealership and it has the 3 year/100k mile warranty with it. Still loving it!!
