I'd still rock the car easily.

And did anybody notice the loan presumably new SC in the background?

You mean that white 09'/10' pebble beach SC430? What about it?

I think this Pearl Brown of the LFA with saddle interior will look much better, more classy.
speaking of you saying "turd" i actually worked at that lexus dealer, i got terminated because i posted on a local forum how it looked like a piece of turd and how i regurgitated in my mouth when i saw it. Great way to collect unemployment :P owell

Sorry to hear how you were treated
Best of luck landing a job in a place that
respects your opinion

Were you there when Herb rejected the car
What did your coworkers, the Lexus PS or the
delivery driver have to say about the car

Regarding the appearance at the P car shop
is that Herb's Burlington location

For folks not familiar with MA demographics
Burlington is up on Rt 128 where the good
Tech jobs are and near the elite towns like
Manchester by the Sea
The second and largest high asset area run West from the
Back Bay in Boston to Brrokline, Newton,
Weston, Wellesley and Dover
The third is a pocket of towns on the South
Shore including Cohasset, Scituate and Duxbury
Since the car needs exposure to sell I would
Think taking it up to Burlington was a good
idea

He was treated unfairly? Why should his boss care about his opinion? I'm just curious.

You disparage your boss and job in a public forum and expect nothing to happen?

Goes back to my original thought that this ebay posting was a fake and was pulled once the owner found out about it and contacted ebay.

The color isn't that bad. A new interior would have done the trick for me.

I quite like the color combo actually. Yes I know it's not for everyone but I think it's unique in an avant-garde sort of way. It's not the combo I'd get if I were looking to flip it in a year or two but for a unique example that would be in my collection for years and years I'd take it in a heartbeat if I had the dough.

(And at least the calipers aren't black. )

Out of the blue today I get an email from High Priced Herb's Auto Group.

It was one of those monthly love o grams and it includes a couple of LFA pictures. One picture is of of a Ring edition that when clicked links you his Lexus dealership page for virtual test driving.

The second picture links to a page featuring Herb's Cleveland Browns special.

http://www.thenewsflashcorporation.n...MpCF8,bp957F4K

The info claims the car is part of Herb's collection but that doesn't line up with what we have been hearing. It also refers to 150 cars for the US which we know is outdated info.

Or maybe just Lexus decided to pull their head out of...... and reduce the US allocations down to 150 and the rest of the 20 somewhere else (maybe, back to Japan).

He is talking about after the fact when he had already displayed the car in the dealership so it definitely seems to be after the ebay sale meaning he has abandoned the idea to sell the LFA.

Maybe he just decided to keep it after not having any purchase offer. We never got a confirmation that it was actually sold.
