haha you stole my idea! :P Actually we're trying to come up for a new plate name for the car. This plate is from my mom's old car so we want something different.

lol that might work, we'll have to see.

jotafl: yeah she's really excited. We're waiting for the insurance to get finished up on monday before we can take the car out and show my mom all the stuff that it does. She's excited though and loves the way it looks. She's always wanted a big luxo sedan.

Congrats on the new car, and the dead on dashboard pic is great! As far as wheels go, the LS460 is a much bigger car and you can go with 20's and still have alot of meat on the tire (not the ultra low profile sizes that the IS / GS / SC's run).

You guys can feel free to take a look at our site, we have a good working knowledge of these cars and can provide a set of wheels for you when your ready.

Enjoy the car!!

Wow 19 and already paying for all those. What do you do for work that you make that kind of money? I'm turning 23 on the 18th, but I'm still in school. Yeah we go to somerset mall all the time, so maybe we've already seen you there lol.

D2: I've already been on your site and actually checked off a few wheels I like. We just have to narrow it down.

lol I don't have that car, my mom and dad do. They pay for for it all. We financed the lex for I think 1,200 something a month for 60 months. We're going to pay it off and keep it for 5 or more years. That way if we want we can trade it in or sell it later and get some of that money back instead of just leasing it and not getting anything back in the end. Plus its such a great car that in 5 years it'll still be amazing to drive.

Congrats on all your businesses. I'm going to be in dental next year so I still got a lot of studying to get over.

EDIT: We also looked at the Sclass and the 7 series, but they weren't upto our taste and what my mom needed. The 7 interior was horrid for a car its cost and the ride wasn't as smooth, since my mom likes smooth rides. The Sclass was nice but expensive and the interior wasn't something we enjoyed either. We felt the steering wheel was horrible and cheap looking, the instrument cluster and nav were cheep looking on top as well and weren't flush with the rest of the dash top. It just didn't flow well. Also my mom isn't that much of a whiz at tech things so the I drive was definately out of the question and so was the S class i drive like thing. The Lex has a simple to use touchscreen which she can easily learn to use over a very short period. The LS just had everything going for it.

the DMV unfortunately. You just apply for a custom plate and they see if its available. When you make one up, you pay them and they send it to your house when its finished.
