had a guy ask me how that square piece of plastic in the center of my grill helped the grill any,, told him it was for the radar unit to fire through for my cruise control,, he told me I was putting him on that no cars have a radar unit in them,,

had to open the hood and show him the unit and then explain how it worked and where it was displayed on the dash,, even after all that I think he still doubted the car having radar,,

Let's face it, not to many 'young guys' can afford these. Look at who's driving new Corvettes!

Key inserted: "THE LEXUS LINK SYSTEM IS ACTIVE"

Front Passenger: How come the car has to announce its own brand every time it starts?
Rear Passenger 1: I thought it was a Toyota?
Rear Passenger 2: It is.

After a few blocks

Rear Passenger 1: I can't believe you drive a boat. It's like we're sailing.
Me Driving: Hey, this can do 0-60 in 6.3 seconds.
Rear Passenger 2: Goin' downhill you mean?
Front Passenger: Hey look! The air vents swing left and right! Just like that old fan at my Grandma's
Rear Passenger 2: Yeeeep.. this car is for old people..
Rear Passenger 1: It's damn quiet though..
Front Passenger: Heck yeah, it has to be, old people can't hear *****!
All Passengers: LOL
Me Driving: Guys, that's Ground Zero ahead..
Front Passenger: Oh yeah? Where, that grey fence?
Me Driving: Right, see the stairs at the end of the fence?
Front Passenger: Yeah... why?
Me Driving: That's where the subway station is... the place where all you get out of my freakin' car..

-Guy at the shop..How did you do that? (Open car door without a key or pressing a FOB).
-Me...It's senses my presence..
-Guy at the shop..You mean like it scans you??
-Me..Kinda...why do you go and try to open the car yourself? (as I move away)
-Guy at the shop..It doesn't want to open..!!
-Me..Cuz it needs my DNA and Finger Print for it to work! I get in the car and leave...
-Guy at the shop..The look on his face was PRICELESS!!!!

Here's one for the UL owners:

Me: Hey do me a favor and gently close the doors will you?
Others: Why
Me: My doors close automatically, it's an added feature.
Others: Really? That's cool.
Me: I know........
Girlfriend, Siblings, Parents, Business Associates, Guests, etc.: BAM!!!!!!!
Me: WTF!

My wife, her single (for good reason) friend from work, and her friend's mother went on a shopping trip to Minneapolis (about 8 hours away), and they decided they'd like to take the LS. (I was not thrilled...)

Wife's Friend: Wow, all the guys who drive by are looking at me!
Wife thinking to herself: They are looking at the car......
