Stopoed by the car wash for a quick visit before the 25K mile service tomorrow. A construction worker said: “Very NICE car! What is that, a ES350?”
Me: “Uhhh….no. It’s a IS500, emphasis on the 500.”
Worker: “Wow that’s the beast one!”
I think lots of things, but rarely do I actually say d!!!ckish things. I need to pay penance y’all. 🫣
Non-Lexus people probably think "all Lexus look the same these days with the Predator grille"... Hey, whatever.
Side note, I got my oil changed last week and got a free alignment. It was free because it has only been about 2,000 miles since my last one. The dealership suspects that the prior alignment wasn't done right. I'll... take it, I guess.

LOL!! I’m usually quite engaging about the car, but the ES comparison threw me. I love the ES, I’ve owned two, but c’mon man.

Haha … about a year ago my 500 had a small dent. Took it to an insurance ‘recommended’ national body shop chain. Guy who wrote up the repair order kept trying to tell me I was wrong and that my IS500 was just an ES350/Camry with a bigger engine. Obviously I didn’t let them touch my car haha.

Whether it's about my car or me personally, I have the same problem. I keep referring back to this so I'm prepared next time...then I forget it when a compliment or any unexpected attention comes my way... https://theoatmeal.com/comics/brain_compliments
