Default Just brought the car home...finally pics

Hey everyone,

Im fricken exhausted ....but heres my take.

I am in love again..I fricken love this car...

Yes I know I will post pics in a few hours..but gonna take a nap.

Woke up 545am...not sure why...hahha..had to meet the shipper in Blaine Washington..met him at 830...i only live 20 minutes from there..not sure why I was up at 545am...anyways I wont bore you anymore.

Met the shipper....saw my car...and both me and my wife were just in aw...keep in mind..I have never really owned a car like this before..even though its used..here in Canada...these sell for 130K plus..and a 07 sells for 70K plus...anyways..I felt at the age of 32..I was able to buy this for myself bymyself(very important to me)...anyways..on the same truck..brand new Audi S5 and brand new Porsche Panasomething...4 door saloon...I swear I almost cant believe what a beautiful car the P car was..I have pics.

Anyways about the LS...I love this car...it drives like nothing I have driven before..yes its not a M5 or a AMG car...but it a great car to cruise in...I swear the gadgets..OMG....I think it will take me awhile before I figure this out.....anyways love the car..the exterior is near perfect..the interior needs some shampooing..nothing major all and all...very pleased...I wanted to mention that the car does not feel big at all..I was thinking this car is gonna feel like a boat...but boy was I wrong...it actually handles well considering its size...will post pics in a bit...gonna go to sleep..and once again thanks to all that helped with the info on the LS...really handy.


Heres pics of my day

Im a little trigger happy with the camera...so here goes..

Congrats and I'm very excited for you...clearly you deserve it with your hard work...post pics soon!

Porsche Panamera...its like 140K+ for the Turbo and its basically the fastest 4 door ever and probably one of the fastest car you can drive everyday...

Congrats dude, you are going to love it. I've had the LS for two weeks now and the back door won't lock, so it's at the dealer as we speak, but other than that, you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

I had a chance to look at the Panamera a few weeks ago, and from the interior it is a beautiful car, but the exterior...wolf....

Wow, lots of cars coming in from the US!

How did the Customs process go, or did you use a broker?

Our neighbor trade his SL55 for a Panamera Turbo...I will post pics of it...the car is GORGEOUS imo...but I do agree that the interior blows away the exterior because the back looks awkward, but I have a feeling the car will grow on you...its like the 5 series when it first came out with the redesign I hated it and now I love it...

Funny picture showing RR Sport and LS460L together. The least reliable vehicle on the left and the most reliable vehicle on the right. Opposite ends of the spectrum!

Congrats on your purchase!!! Enjoy your ride!
Hopefully, soon I will experience the same feelings when I buy my own LS460.

very nice, congrats!!!!!! nice house, nice cars, what else can i say

i am just not a fan of the panamera at all, either exterior or interior. seen plenty of them, still think it's ugly. sat in it too, don't like the center console one bit

now i just want to see how you will build up your ls460l that's one nice interior!
