Default what for?

when driving, focus on driving.

if you have to talk on the phone, don't use one hand for phone, and one to drive, causing
you to drive slowly backing off all the traffic behind you. I saw many drivers doing that.

why do some of you care so much if mark levinson on board?
are you either a teen, or daddy's little girl/boy, or early 20s?
focus on driving!

and what for? buying a nice car like lexus?

does that help to get more chicks? or guys?

or boost egos?

in the end, any nice car, you are the one having to pay for it, and remember
it uses premium gas too.

ask yourself 3 times "why do I need", analyze your financial situation,
and be aware of the not so rosy outlook for the economy and world affairs, then

if still keen to buy a nice car like lexus, then lucky son of a gun.

Because, I live in my car for 16% of the day. Might as well make it comfortable.

I use Bluetooth, and so should everyone else...

I am a music aficianado. I like hearing the nuances of every note, whether it's a symphony, blasting the Spice Girls, or Gregorian Chant. I am neither a teen or daddy's little boy -- I like music like everyone out there who listens a radio, goes to concerts, owns an iPod, and buys CDs by the dozen.

and what for? buying a nice car like lexus?
Out of all the carmakers out there, Lexus would be my first choice in luxury, comfort, and reliability.

does that help to get more chicks? or guys?
Not really, but if you know of some chicks who dig a guy riding a Lexus, please give me her phone number...

or boost egos?
No. I have enough, thank you very much.

in the end, any nice car, you are the one having to pay for it, and remember
it uses premium gas too.
I pay for a lot of nice things, and premium gas only costs 20 cents more a gallon, which ends up only $120 a year extra.

Believe you me, we are all aware of the "not so rosy" outlook of the economy and world affairs, and Lexus be making cars for a while. It's other carmakers that may have a tougher time.
