That's pretty usual here, the swap was done after 20' only

You probably change car again before the air suspension goes out. I figure the Nav. is useless in Saigon, but the Override Module let you watch DVD while driving.

Hope it will last for long 'cuz I may settle down until the next LS gen comes out. For the Nav, I'll think more about it, I only use the LS for about 40 miles a week, the rest I have my FX35 in charge 'cuz it's shorter)

What's the shop/dealer in the pictures? I may have to make a visit next time I'm in VN and check out the nice cars. I keep reading articles about businessmen buying all these exotics, but I haven't seen any yet.

Just go along "An Duong Vuong" street in Disctrict 5, there are bunch of nice dealers, that place is in the same location. BTW, here is the website of the top - of - the - line dealer out here with only 3 minutes drive from An Duong Vuong street: http://www.hoangtrong.com/html/home.aspx.

A new issue came on with the calendar, I tried and couldn't change the date, mine just went back to 12/30/2000. In the Calendar menu, all buttons turned off and left the number 30 lighted on. Is there anyway way to set it to today? Thank you very much. I remember being able to set it in my 07.
P.S: I've been surrounded with work recently, I promise to post the HD pics within this week. Really sorry!

Nice upgrade - I can't believe that there's a Ferrari 458 Italia there too? Where can you run this car wide throttle open? :lol:

There are many more, don't worry . People here buy them for love, and of course not for full throttle.

Most of the rich Vietnamese bought these NOT to drive it but for the love of it. There is absolutely no roads in Saigon to drive any cars.

In Vietnam, automobile is NOT just for transportation but it is also the status of wealth.
