Superior Lexus in KC got back to me and said that they would do anything it takes to get it fixed. So... saturday morning I am hauling my F up to KC to leave it up there for who knows,.. 3 Months? I have a pile of Mods i'm waiting to put on until the major warranty service is done. Wish me luck!

Here's my most recent pic before she leaves.

damn, I can't imagine being in your shoes.... that really sucks... Hope they are able to fix the issue and that it doesn't take forever! I'm off saturday (but it's my anniversary) so if you want to get together after dropping off your F... I should be available Sat afternoon... (have dinner plans that evening with the wife though) PM if you do..

Good luck with that. Hopefully Lexus will treat you better than they have me. One question: are you the original owner?

My engine is working great after the rebuild. Happy with the work that Lexus of Northborough did with my car.

Superior Lexus has been rockstars and gave me an RX 350 for as long as it's in the shop, and the guy even mentioned they might be able to ship it down to Wichita when they're done. I might head up there anyways since it's so much nicer, and when I do I'll try to meet up with you.

No I'm not. I bought the car with 42k miles on it, and the lexus history shows two previous owners, both never modded it, or put very many miles on it it seems.
