Hey friends! Hope life is treating everyone well. Had the day free and decided to drive out to Buchanan Lake, which is about 90 min from Austin.

Off topic...but has anyone been to the Lexus Performance Driving School? Will be flying out for one of the dates in Ohio next month and am super excited!

I did it a month ago. It’s worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY! I couldn’t do the skid pad to save my life, just spun like a top. 🙄😂

Lexus provides the cars. We drove IS 500s, RC Fs, and LC 500s.

Press firmly on the pedal to get maximum benefit . (kickdown pedal effect) ! Otherwise, you'll be "stuck" at 5500 rpm despite you believing you've floored it. LOL.

I'm new to ClubLexus and browsing the various forums...so is 621 miles the magic number to reach during the break-in period? If so, that is an oddly specific number.

Enjoy!

@sickpuppy Much thanks--I didn't consider converting it to kilometers.

LOL! I am so glad posts like this are still coming in! 😎

Between folks finding Lexus’ Easter Eggs and posts when the 621st mile has been reached, I’m reminded of our 2022 shenanigans.

Don’t get me wrong; although there are no new discoveries for me, this car was bada$$ then and bada$$ now!

Permanent.
Effing.
Smile. 😜
