Got her first real bath after the PPF replacement/install a few weeks ago.
One note - back in the days when Amazon wasn't shipping anything for 4-6 weeks unless it was "critical" I needed a foam canon and cleaning supplies ASAP. Was happy to find some Chemical Guys supplies at Wal-Mart - starter kit with bucket, grit screen, microfiber mitt, soap, interior dressing, wheel cleaner for $39ish. Found a foam canon (Surface Maxx) locally at Lowes for $39ish as well. Not that Chemical Guys is the best but their stuff seemed decent and better than what I was finding at most other places. Foam canon seems to work decent. Not the best I'm sure but in a pinch it allowed me to do a safe wash on the car.

Installed new coils, GSF BBK front/rear, brembo rotors, power stop pads, new custom strut bar, new tires / repainted wheels, spark plugs, filters, oil change etc haha. It was a busy day for Danny @ HTL Motorsports but he did an amazing job!
I wish this was me showing off my new LS, but it's not I got an email the other day about the Lexus Reserve program where they'll bring just about any model to your home for you to test drive. They give you an hour with the car so you can do whatever you need to do with it. It's a great opportunity to run errands, drive around your neighborhood, and really get a feel for what the car would be like in your day-to-day. I was the only test drive scheduled today and the specialist who was there was really cool, so I got to spend about 2 hours with the LS. We took a lovely drive from Playa Vista through Venice, Santa Monica, and then had a nice cruise down PCH to Malibu and back.
In addition to just test driving a car, they also offer as part of this $1500 lease cash, waived disposition fee, and they'll waive the last 4 payments on your current car. Coincidentally, I only have 4 payments left, so this caught my attention for sure. Definitely has me thinking... Anyway, so as you probably figured out by now, I chose an LS500. I was expecting a total base model car to drive, but the car came *exactly* how I would've specced it. RWD, F-Sport, Performance Package (rear wheel steering, VGRS, active stabilizer bars), Pano Roof, 360 Cam, etc. It was as fully loaded as RWD F-Sports can come. Overall, it was an awesome experience and a great way to shop for a new vehicle. I have an LX570 coming tomorrow for me to test drive.
After my drive was over, I took the GS to pickup some lunch and look who we ran into
No one tell my GS what I got up to earlier today... We're still trying to work through yesterday's affair
The LX was last on my list of Lexus vehicles to drive. I think I've driven every single one they make now, including all the gas variants, hybrid variants, and F models.
Driving the GS after driving the LS yesterday still left me impressed with what a treat the GS is to drive. The LX only further enhanced the GS sweetness.

I'm telling the GS AND giving it space in my garage if it wants some time away from you <JK>
