Looks good Chin! Nothing better than living amongst palm trees and washing the car in the evening. Cannot wait to move south and drive my GS year round and not be concerned about the snow.

Bought my 2020 Jan 4th. 3400 miles on the odo.
Had some nasty shoulder surgery a month ago.
Covid got me working at home. For months cannot hand wash any of my cars.
At this rate the car will never wear out. Drive it 3 miles each way to PT, x3 a week, 6 miles to office once a week.

Just installed Borla S-Type Axle Back exhaust to my 2016 GS350 and have to admit, on higher rpms, it sounds fantastic. Grunty, but not overwhelming. Took me and my buddy a while because one of the bolts was not sitting in for some odd reason, but eventually our persistence workout. Below is the video of the sound comparison. Was going to make and upload an install video too, but there was way too much cursing and swearing in it to go in to digital world.

Went to get Llumar Air 80 Blue on the windshield and decided to put it all the way around. Wasn't planning on getting dark tint anyway so it works. Added a console organizer also.

For a second there, I was wondering why you left a roll of toilet paper on the trunk.. then my still-living brain cells kicked in...

Nice rubber insert. I ordered a similar set and looks nice in the cup holders and some of the lower door compartments. Also installed 3M clear door edge guards - basic DIY.

Nice find, just ordered these:

One of those minor finishing touches that makes you wonder why they skimped on cents worth of plastic.

Yep, that’s what I ordered. Although estimated delivery was about 2 months, I got it in 5 days. So quite pleased all around.

Default Got two new tires. Had a blow out on the highway

This wasn’t today but over the weekend. Had a blow out on the highway. Found out the other rear tire was also cracking on the side wall. Ended up getting it towed and got the two tears replaced. The tires only had 12k miles on them. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thank god I purchased the tire warranty from Discount.

Just 12k on them huh? My interest is piqued, what brand tires and when did you purchase (age)? What was the date printed on the sidewall (actual age)? This should be covered under the manufacturer’s treadwear or defects warranty (prorated replacement cost) and not Discount Tire’s road hazard warranty.

Correct?

Glad everyone is ok. Sounds like a dangerous thing.

What's the tire brand?

Ordered last week myself. Says shipping for me will take a while, but I look forward to installing them
