I could at least track the ship but now I will be twiddling thumbs and pacing floors till dealership arrival. I asked to be there onsite for delivery.
@flighthalo How are you handling the road test aspect; going along, watching, or waiving it? I just don't want some random tech railing on the new engine off the bat.
Oh I'm good to wave it lol! We do have a few breaks in the weather coming mid week....for me it's possible that my car gets to the dealer Mon/Tues and if its clear on Tues or Wed its possible I can get the car home....ideally we get some snow but not enough to make it unsafe for people to get into work....I'm guessing that if your vessel just arrived I think 21 days is a fair estimate to put out there........its exciting that your vessel is in port though!! Awesome!!!

That's awesome man, funny how things come together. Monterey and Laguna Seca is a special place for Lexus that's for sure!

id ask to keep the hood plastic on- you know they’ll be dropping gravel on the roads! Hopefully you get yours soon; it’s been a long time waiting

Hi All, a Launch Edition just came available at Lexus of Santa Fe. Reach out to Anna Gonzales at (505)699-8685. She's really great to work with and will do as much as she can to help you out.

The red with white interior, beautiful.
The white with red interior, movie prop from a slasher movie.

Thank you so much for sharing - This is the first white on red that we have seen posted here and I am super pumped!! Are we the only forum members expecting/waiting/hoping for a white on red IS 500?? I haven't seen any other chiming on with that combo, other than Answer and I.
