Default Super grateful!

So at age 63 I have gone thru a few cars in my life. Not to act like a show off, but I have been lucky enough to own an Audi Rs5, Audi S8, BMW M8( used)Porsche Carrera (used)S and GTS (used), a Corvette ZO6, Aston Martin Vantage(used), BMW M6 ( used) from what I can remember. I must say with complete honesty that this Lexus LC 500 is my favorite car! Obviously, not the fastest, or the best handling, but how well it is put together and the comfort blows me away everyday and makes it exciting to drive everyday. I had a previous LC in 2018, but my son and wife said it was an old man’s car and I sold it. That was a mistake and I am truly blessed and grateful that I was able to buy a new 2024 Coupe. I love it and hopefully will keep it for a very long time. As you get older you truly appreciate the finer things in life and speed and handling are not the most important! I truly hope you other owners appreciate the car as much as I do! We are Bleesed!

Agree woodranch!

The LC500 is a fantastic car, likely the best luxury grand touring coupe/convertible in it’s price range.

Enjoy!

Well said woodranch. Over the years I've owned 3 Corvettes, an Acura NSX, a BMW M3, an Infiniti G35, a Camaro Z-28, a Datsun 240-Z, a MBZ, sedan and many others. By far the 2023 LC 500 Conv't I currently drive is the very BEST automobile I've ever owned. Welcome back to the club...enjoy the ride!

So at age 57 you sold it because they said it was an old man's car, eh? I've been pining for the car since then (I'd have been 38). Just ordered one now. Looking forward to my old man's car after I turn 45 this year!

Appreciate you sharing your journey. You helped me appreciate that I skipped a few cars . Although I really do still want a Carrera S MT.

I've had more than my fair share of 911 variants over the decades and about 10 years ago went lux HP GT cars and haven't looked back, I too don't miss my 911's other than the air-cooled ones, especially the 930 turbos from the mid-late 80's, wish I never sold them!
