Default Oh man!

Yesterday I got in my car and pushed the start button. It started right up. My seat went into position, the steering wheel adjusted to my liking as I strapped on the seat belt. I put the car in reverse and I could see perfectly on the screen everything behind me. Then I put it in drive and it was so smooth I felt like I was on a cloud.

Once I hit the main street, I punched it. It took off with that throaty sound and quickly hit 60 before I ever knew it. The car was rolling straight as an arrow and when I depressed the brakes, it came to a nice stop. I cranked up the ML system to one of my CD's and I felt like I was at a concert. Then I pushed the button to the sunroof. It rolled back and the sun hit me just right as I cruised on. At the next light, this guy next to me gave me a thumbs up. I waived and drove on to my destination.

This is hilarious, and it is all so darn true! Roll on, indeed!

I'm about to take mine out; it's a garage queen during the week.

I felt like I was reading a short excerpt from a story book. I was so engulfed into your 1st person adventure. On the real though it's so comfortable I'm afraid I'll fall asleep on the wheel. Glad you enjoying it!

Well, he is on his 4th Lexus so what's not to like?? We still have the 3 we have acquired and the latest ('14 LS460) is definitely a rare experience.

My daily is now the wife's hand-me-down LS430 and what a treat to drive.....

We are all so lucky.....

My wife enjoyed the story I just read to her. Truth! Today I drove it to a big car show at the Vehicle Vault outside of Denver. They have a museum also and it has so many insane cars. Many 1910 on. So many proud owners brought their pride and joy. I really liked a sunbeam tiger V8 convertible and all the six and seven figure bad boys. I'll post a picture from my phone.

The car turned my 600 mile weekly commuting into something I actually look forward to.

I've had my LS for 3 years now and I enjoy the ride every time, whether I'm driving or riding.
