Default New RX400h - Granite Mica (My Xmas present to myself, ha)

Hello everyone......I used to be on the IS250 part of the site, but have been on the RX400h site due to my vehicle I was getting......that vehicle I did get today

2008 RX400h - Granite Mica exterior, black leather with walnut interior. Navigation, backup camera, bluetooth, Premium Plus Package - illuminated door sills, roof racks, sunroof, HID headlights, etc.

Here are some pictures of my new friend, and Xmas present to myself

By the way, I am in Jacksonville, Florida. And I work for Toyota Motor Sales (TMS) here at the port - we take the ships in from Japan.

Thanks!
Mine is sitting at the port (Portland), but we've got about 15 inches of snow on the ground and the area is at a standstill. Obviously, no way to get my IS-F to the dealer to make the switch. Boy, could I use the AWD right now. The Florida beaches sound pretty good.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments on the vehicle. I am very happy with it I have to admit. I have never had a hybrid before.....or even a vehicle loaded like this one - it is a nice change!

Toyotadad - I heard about Portland.......my friend has been at the airport for 3 days stuck there, and she is still there unfortunately. I hope you get your vehicle soon! IS-F though..I am quite jealous I wanted that car so much, but the payment was just too much.
I see your location is "Washington" - what facility do you work at?
Yes, FL beaches are nice......I will add a couple more picts over the wknd......I took some of my IS250 on the beach, and it was really cool looking.

Yep, the wood looks extra nice with the black interior!

I see where you work on the St. Johns on the way out to Mayport in my Grady White! WOW, there are alot of cars over there. I remember when my LX570 was due in about a year ago, looking at the vehicles coming off the vessel and hoping to see mine! <vbg>

Merry Christmas to YOU!

lu1de - thanks for the comments. I will definitely send a few beach picts over the weekend!

Here is a pict of the IS I had....RXh picts will be taken in same location! The IS250 is a good time....it had HKS exhaust, grnd effect kit in back, XM radio, HID's, spoiler, etc. Fun car.

Ggebhardt - I was hoping you would look here for the pictures!
Yeah, I work at the Talleyrand port.......it is fine during the day, but would not recommend being here at night!
I really like the black leather w/ wood grain interior color.....I am very happy w/ the vehicle!!! It is weird not driving my IS.....but I think I can get over that
You have a Merry Christmas also! My mom said no need to buy me any Christmas presents, because I bought myself the best one, haha
