I appreciate Lexus's taste on the Iridium paint color, especially on a partly-cloudy day.

Also, peep the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires! Loving those so far, even though it is getting a little cold.

First wash of 2023 - and the first wash it's had in a few weeks! Happy New Year!

Same here. Washed mine early New Year's morning. Figured I'd start the year off clean. I didn't snap a picture after the wash yesterday, but I snapped this tonight - all alone at the side of the supermarket parking lot before heading home.

I am so envious of you guy's ability to wash your car at this time of the year....Hard for guys like me to watch but I guess my time will come in April

Our local club, Southern Lexus, really turned out today at Caffeine and Octane! I'd post more photos, but it would be too large a post.

Went up to the mountains with @DLPTony and some others from the club today! It was nasty up there, with salt on the roads and some snow, even, but there was enough clean pavement for us to have some fun as well. Cheers.

Had a great time! Glad we were able to finally do a mountain run together. Watching your car snake through those turns I was like: “That’s how awesome my s-hyt looked!” Lexus totally knocked the design out of the park.

Don't for one sec, think your a$$ is as nice as Arentz (lol) - I have to ask why the 500 was trailing the pack?!? (lol)

Haha Tony was bringing up the rear, as usual ...?

I am trying though. I have some rock chips and thinking I may have one on the windshield that needs fixing... Can't drive a car without breaking it a little, as I always say.

LOL!! Hateful.

I have a tiny blemish on the hood, the PPF saved my gotdern bacon AGAIN! It’ll heal itself over time.

Re: Alex’s Butt - Haven’t seen it, but we are all special in God’s eyes. 😂

Re: Trailing - The temps were a little low for my tastes to really let it rip. So as to not hold anyone up, I brought up the rear and did my best Pepé Le Pew impression. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t lose the 500. 😈

Worked out actually, we hit miles of salt, sand, and rocks, and I was able to hang farther back. All-in-all my (PPF) shields were at 99.9% by the end. #TrekkieNerd

The PS4Ses were actually wonderful on the drive. Despite it being cold, they felt great. Of course we dialed it back significantly in the salty sections, but I wouldn't go fast in those sections no matter what tires I was on.

The car didn't stay salty for too long. Not long after getting home, I was out there washing it again.

Me too! Actually, we had a late brunch, then I got him washed. The whole time I had visions of the salt eating…everything. 🫣🫣
