Welcome to Club Lexus! RC-F owner roll call & member introduction thread, POST HERE!
#721
After many years on other forums and moderating some I find myself here as a newbie so please be nice and forgive my newness!! We are a car family with a wide variety of types from Crew Cab Diesel Dually to a turbocharged Miata to a Z06 Corvette and a Camaro SS/RS/1LE to just mention a few. We just recently added a 2015 RC-F to the stable and am loving it. Bought it like we buy most of our vehicles. The wife studied it online for a few hours, we looked for one available, we went to see it, and we bought it. The whole process including a PPI and having to wait for a part to fix the wing was 4 days.
I now find myself in the unenviable position of needing a few basic answers that probably have been ask a million times before but I haven't found the answers yet. I will be venturing out into the main stream forum to look and ask but I hope that I can survive the onslaught of comments I will most likely generate.
BTW, did I say I love this car already!!! The funny thing about the purchase is it turns out this car was originally bought by the salesman's father and he didn't even know he was reselling his Dad's car until we saw the Car Fax

Good day all.
I've been a member here since 2018 or so, but never properly introduced myself. When I joined I was looking for resources for my new to me 2003 LS430. Since then I have owned another 430, a GX470 and the RC-F. It's fair to say that I've migrated my bias from european cars to Lexus specifically, and have become a bit of a Lexus snob.
The current roster is just the 2001 LS430 lovingly called Bardot...
... and the newest member to the family Letti. Here, just being picked up from my buddies PPF shop after a detail, correction, full PPF wrap, and the blades and grille wrapped (and ppf'd).
Current mods on Bardot are the Work wheels and the air ride controller. Other than that, the LS is the perfect car. Other than gradually getting her back to a showroom condition, I don't plan on changing a thing. Letti is currently running the Invidia Q300 exhaust, RSR springs, a Yishao spoiler, and a few little cheesy interior mods for comfort and bling.
I'm pretty active on other socials, and can mostly be found in IG at https://www.instagram.com/the_gentleman_jackal/

Welcome again. Duanne. Great to see you on this board. RCF looks great with the PPF and the wrap. Regarding your comment about your European car background, always remember back many years ago admiring and gushing over your Porsche Cayman S, Lotus Elise and especially the Z4 M you used to bring to the Hopewell office. That lowered Z4 M looked crazy sick! Cheers!
Good day all.

New member to the family!
Hello everybody, I want to introduce everyone to Booboo. It's a 2020 model and purchased her used at 30K. This is my ultimate dream car and it finally happened. I'm so happy and it still feels like a dream to me sometimes.

Yeah, manual mode with SPORT+ is 100% of the time for me. TVD in SLALOM (if applicable).
