I love you for loving my car! <3
Man, I'm frightened of speed bumps now...already had a few encounters with some, and because this car is so long, it hits right in the middle of the car, haha! I need to try to re-do the cut-out pipes since they are hanging pretty down low and have been getting a beating lately 
Also, funny story of when I had my G...I was trying to go over one of those mountain sized speed bumps and ended up getting the car stuck right in the middle of it with all 4 tires off the ground xD I went out and took a pic of it and then had to call AAA to come get me off of it!! Good times... I'm use to the low life!
When you have fat fingers like me, it's hard to keep that thang clean LOL
My friend with the e36 m3 is a photographer so I'll get on his azz to get some quality shots soon!

Thanks! I want to do either UAS of platinum vip's cup kit in the future, but I don't have the budget to do that now though. I think the only thing I want to do to this car is overhaul the stereo system. Maybe a front lip too, and I'll call it a day for now. (good enough for being my daily) I want to start building another car that I have had in storage for a few months now, even though I still don't have the money to build that either, I still want to drive it xD
Hahaha, If I had friends I would of rocked it back and forth to bet it off! I still have the cat back for that car in the garage and it always brings back sweet memories when I see it!
LOL same thing happened to me and my friend in his Benz in a McDonald parking lot in hollywood. Huge speed bump with three people in a slammed Benz. ( his car was dumped) The thing literally tetter tottered . He ended up making us get out and he floored it and got the car off the bump. Crazy !!

I got my car back today. Turned out that when I changed out the brake pads, something wasn't done correctly...I forgot the exact explanation they gave me...but they bleeded out the brakes and all is good again. Since my car is pretty modded, and now with coilover suspension, even if I had warranty they would still blame it on me for modifying. So I now need to either shell out $4400 bucks for the dealer, or find a different solution....any advice?

So sorry to gear about the brake controller drama buddy. Did it just come out of nowhere? Damn ! They can only deny you the warranty work if the modification caused the failure directly. I don't see how coil overs or aftermarket rotors would create an issue like that. I wonder of member Lexusondubs had a modified car as well. I've never heard of this issue before

I don't think you can buy the warranty through Lexus if your factory warranty is already expired, you'll have to go through a 3rd party warranty. What I8ABMR said is true, they have to prove that your aftermarket part is a direct cause of what was broken, and having a good relationship with your local Lexus dealership wouldn't hurt. I think having extended warranty is worth it, because on a expensive car like this, the first time you are in to get it worked on, it kind of pay for itself already.
