What actually needed to be repaired (e.g. finish, curb rash or bent)?

Yep... same community. But we've never met or seen each other. Florida is like that, it's too damn hot to go outside (other than to wash the GS), so I stay indoors in the AC. Even my immediate neighbors joke that they only see me during the winter months.

Checked the coolant level and it was below the low level line. Added about 6-8 oz of water.

Waiting on my brake fluid tester to arrive today.

Unfortunately, correct. I have the wheel and tire protection package so I decided to use it. My expectation was that the wheel would be fixed correctly and if it is a style of wheel which cannot be repaired, it would be replaced. Obviously my expectations were off. If I can't get it replaced, I at least want it repaired in a way that looks like a professional did it, not a DIY job. My service advisor agrees, so they're going to give it another shot but I doubt it'll get much better. I wish I had just left it as it was. It was only a small nick.

I added some GS-F OEM alcantara parts. I like the feel and look and will have a matching steering wheel in soon. These three were very easy to install whereas the matching dash pad is among the hardest.

Yup, it's a great idea to check it annually. Even though I keep an electric inflator in my trunk, it struggles to get it to 60psi and I end up using a manual pump. I don't want to have to deal with that during a flat tire situation.

I’m ashamed to say I’ve been there 3 times myself… but no pump, just stranded with a flat and a flat spare… lol

A shout out to @chinee , @BMGS and all of our Floridian members. Stay safe these next few days! I have family down there (Sarasota) and they are getting hammered. Thinking of all of you, though I don't know where you guys live in FL so I'll hope for the east coast of FL.

Thanks for the thoughts, we are ok on the East coast, hope your family comes out ok out there. Unfortunately some form of property damage is all but guaranteed however most of the important structures stay intact to get through the storm safely.

My GS needs mo powah.. It seems to be struggling in hot temps. Today is 100F and it felt like it's heat soaking. Lexus needs to stop screwing around and start producing 800 HP grocery getters.

Their EVs better not disappoint and shouldn't bother making low power EVs that are slower than our cars right now.

Ditto... @TarmacSL3 and @06ls430KTC are the other 2 SFL members I can remember. We are safe in Palm Beach county... the occasional rain and wind, a tornado here or there, but the folks down here are all safe.
