Thanks for your kind words. For the photo enthusiasts, the images were made with a Canon 1Ds Mark II camera with a 135mm f/2L, 15mm f/2.8 fisheye and 16-35mm f/2.8L lenses.

Well dayum that's some serious gear. Come on in the photography forum sometime.

Do you do photography for a living?

Superb pictures! You obviously know more than a thing or two about photography. You've done us all owners of the smoky granite LS proud.

Yes, I've been a professional phtographer for 32 years. My kids say I press a button for a living - wish it could be that easy!

I didn't even realize there was a photography forum until I started nosing around for the photo size specs before posting these (I'm still not clear what the size limits are). Winter is a crummy time for car photos here in Wisconsin, but I can try to post more as the opportunities arise.

That said, it goes like squat and leaves nothing to be desired at 9/10ths, which is as far as I (and probably most of Lexus's target market) will push it anyway. Plus I've gotten 22 mpg so far with a fairly aggressive foot.....
Sounds like what I am looking for. I am more a power junkie than a handling junkie, but I've got the 2005 GTO for acting like I'm 17 in any event. Meanwhile, my 51 year old body is really starting to appreciate comfort. Guess I better drive the LS before I sign up for the GS.

PS Great looking car by the way!

Maybe you've been spending too much time in your new Lex! What's that "dent" from in the driver's seat?
