Default Saw one on the road close-up for the first time!

So, I have a Nebula Gray F Sport on order. Today I was heading down the road and saw the rear 3/4 view of a sharp-looking gray car that I didn't recognize. I sped up to see what it was and realized it was a new GS. The car actually looked much sleeker and nicer from a distance from the rear 3/4 view than I expected. Rather than looking like a downsized LS, it looked more like an upsized IS (which is no bad thing).

I got the guy to roll his window down and told him his car was beautiful and I had one on order. He told me he test drove it, wanted certain options, the dealer had them and he bought it on the spot. He said "you are going to love it".

Of course, today was 75 degrees in Dallas (with no tornadoes) and I was driving with the top down. That is hard to beat, but after seeing his car I am even more excited to get my new GS!

We had two pass us by - within 30-40 miles. So, it was a close call. We just got some heavy rain, so got lucky there. But a couple of cities were really hit bad. Scary to see the aftermath - in some neighborhoods, one house had its 2nd floor completely destroyed, while the next house barely lost a few shingles. The house next to it had its roof completely destroyed... it looked like the tornado had a mind of its own about which house to destroy and which to spare.
