Default Admiring.....

I just kept looking out the bedroom window admiring it sitting in the driveway...only had it a couple of weeks! Do you guys remember when you got your first Lexus? The feeling you had for weeks after....I'm tearing up here! LOL! I love my Lexus!

JDR76,

Both cars look beautiful. You guys (and Anita) just amaze me. I don't think that I'd have the energy to clean and detail my car like you do. On the otherhand, I tried to clean the outgassing film off the interior window with Ammonia free Windex yesterday only to make it worse. I'll try the Sprayway glass cleaner in a can this weekend (since we bought a case of it for our bathroom shower/tub clear glass enclosures).

Congrats on your new car !!!!

I know exactly how you feel as my car is only two months old today (and covered with pollen after the rains last week).

Was more in shock when we first bought it because I wrote the check for it, but have gotten more excited as time goes on. Have learned so much from CL and have put some of it to use, e.g. running it in Hybrid Snow Mode in the city on dry payment increases gas mileage (we had it up to 31 mpg the other day).

Thank you Cheryl. I also use the Sprayway Glass Cleaner and it works great.

Great job on the IS, JDR76. Looks great too. There's nothing better than having nice clean cars. Which reminds me, time to head out and do mine. It's seen better days.

After four years I haven't lost the feeling. So yes, I definitely remember the day The only thing is I had mixed emotions saying goodbye to my beloved 330. We were together for over six happy years. Sigh. But it was great to start anew with the 450h. No regrets.

Mine has just been treated to a wash and the tyres/plastic dressed. Took 2 hours just for a wash! It was under so much grime from recent motorway trips.

And you will still get that feeling YEARS from now.
And you WILL love not being at the service bay except for routine scheduled maintenance.
Something that i have appreciated after owning Audi and Land Rovers.

Gave the car a little wash today for the first time! Can't have a dirty car for our first road trip!



It was amazing how many towels we used for drying. We need to go with that air compressor method to blow off a lot of the excess water.

Picked up a '14 RX350 to keep the '14 GS350 company, both in Nebula Grey. Picked up the RX with the plastic still on it, so I got her all cleaned up!
