What is not more Friday than spending time behind the wheel of this wonderful machinery...also, "Answer" and I were texting last evening but wanted to get other's input. On the rotor's picture, i noticed this last evening while waxing the car that there is a small shiny portion on the rotor's edge. He says his shows the same thing too but assume this is normal/ok?
Hmm I think it's normal to have a "lip" on the rotor, but this is a little wider than I'm used to seeing. Other 500 owners seeing this?
It's probably fine, but wise to check. Nice photos.
The brake pad doesn't make contact with the rotor from top to bottom, there is a small space on top and bottom. The shiny part is just where the pad isn't making contact. Nothing to worry about.
I am curious why the pad wouldnt touch but as long as its nothing to worry, I will be fine. I may ask the dealer to check when I am there...thanks for chiming in
I’ll check my rotors when it’s sunny out. It’s raining today and the parking garage will cast weird shadows.
Spoke to my sales rep yesterday, said they are only allocated 15 vehicles (all models) a month. Yikes, the madness continues.
Side note, happy Saturday! I was flagged down by this blue beauty this week. A 2018 LC 500 Inspiration Series in the famed Structural Blue.
I coveted this color when it first came out, but never saw it in person. It’s still amazing (because it’s blue! 😜, but I didn’t see a noticeable difference.
Has anybody noticed this on their cars? I drove about 50 miles in light rain and afterwards noticed these water streaks down my rear window. My car was dusty, but it’s still wild, it’s like an aerodynamics diagram. Does anyone else’s do this?

Nope. Then again, mine isn’t allowed to get dusty. 😜
I have NO earthly idea what voodoo Lexus has going on, but with the way I drive, this should be in the low teens. 😂 Not that I cared before, but the go-go juice is not as pricey.

I hate to burst your bubble Tony, but that's a H, not a G.

I'm so jealous, best I can get anywhere close to me is 91 at like 5.40 a gallon
