Had a 2004 RX 330 in Millennium Silver. It, too, rode like a 'Back to the Future' hoverboard. (smile) Hope your successful loaner streak continues...

Funny thing, the NX isn’t nearly as bad. (Previous model.) I have not needed a loaner in quite some time (Thank God and knock on wood!), so I can’t speak on the improvements.

Sorry to hear that, I had a rock chip on the windshield in the very first week, driving on a 2lane road with no other cars around. Wind just picked up a random rock.

Sometimes you just can't win.

That sucks. 😒

Make sure the replacement company installs OEM! There was a shortage of replacement windshields for awhile, not sure if it’s still the case.

I think the MY22 on the left would beat the one on the right in a drag race... (wink)

IrIS (Iridium IS) 500 Phenomena #27: The IrIS 500 seems to have an IrIS 350 gravitational pull. The 350s seem to always occupy the vacant parking space next to the 500... (smile)

You should probably see a doctor for this. They have pills for that.

Love the pic cajun, really shows off the difference between the bulge...definitely something you don't notice much until you see them side-by-side.
