Hybrid LS460!
I didnt know they had a LS460 hybrid cool. I bet its going to change the game all together what Lexus is doing. They will without a doubt dominate the luxury car segment into the future.GOS IS GOOD.

Also gas effects cost of other goods and services so what is your dollar really worth. WISDOM!!!! Just think a minute, is it better to buy some gold at these unstable fiat money times or a car. Gold in the early 2000's was around 285 or 300 I think, now its in the 400's do the math. Get what you want dont **** it away. Take it from old money. READ "MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR". Great food for thought. Enjoy the money, but be a good steward and be wise with your talents. Your story young man is a great one, showing whatever you belive you can be you can . I want it to go further than material items young man. No matter if you have $100,000 in the bank or $100,000,000 doesnt matter, anyone rich like Cris Rock said can go broke. .GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME.
For me, the only reason I am willing to lease an LS in the first place is that it is such a huge tax write-off. If it wasn't, there'd be absolutely no way to justify the purchase for me. I can write the vast majority of the cars expenses off and have Uncle Sam foot my bill. I've learned if you invest properly (Universal Life SEP, for instance) and buy the things you want in the fashion the govt rewards (i.e- leasing instead of buying the car), you can make a lot of money and pay almost no taxes.
I don't have a lot of "toys". The LS is probably my only true luxury item. When I was 18, I read Richest Man in Babylon and shortly thereafter, Rich Dad/Poor Dad. Those books changed me. Overall, I invest my money, and have used my previous income to start my newest businesses. But, I drive enough that the safety, security and luxury of the LS series is what I prefer and therefore, I am willing to pay the entrance fee.
We'll have to see what the LS460 costs vs. the LS600hL. If the LS600hL is under 90k, I will consider it. If not, I will have to go with the 460L. The main differences seem to be HP, fuel economy and LED headflight. I can dow ithout those if it brings my car payment down a few hundred per month.
FYI...on Friday, Gold closed at $633. Looks like all those cavities I got filled with Gold years back will finally pay off! LOL....
