As for what I did today with my 3RX? Well, posed in a pic with cleaned up baby brother.
Looking good, my friend.

We took it out in rain threatening weather to the local Mall. Wouldn't you know, they had RX parking row!

Finally installed the F-sport wheels on the wifey's car. Waiting for the weather to clear up for a good wash and will post pics soon.

Naw, I was in full control. There was plenty of room where they had closed off that part of the parking lot, so I saw no reason to park the new car within door dinging distance of the other RXs.

But, lol, I will tell a little story about when we took it for a test drive with the dealer. He took us to an empty parking lot. At one point he showed me (the driver) the parking assist when you put it in reverse. So he told me to follow the white lines and back into the parking spot.

Well, there was a big solid white line right down the display, so I followed it back and parked. So he asked, "Why did you park here?", that being directly mid way between two spots. I pointed to the display and the white line and asked, "Aren't I supposed to follow this?"

Nope, that the the sun glaring on the reverse video cam! He meant to use the white lines painted on the ground marking the parking spots.

It was a big AH-HA moment with the new car!

Nice. There's no need to wait for a wash. I'm sure you have a few pics you can share

Changed out the shift **** I ordered from Lexus Japan.

Now the ES and the RX have the same, more stylish, shift *****.

We have an air compressor that Websailor uses with his nail guns. Is there some attachment available to help dry our car?
Yep, just buy an air blow gun attachment for $5 at Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

or with attachments and coil, $16:

Added a stainless trunk sill plate.

Just a little protection from loading stuff in the back.

Adds a little bling too.
