Alright guys...I guess I can't go. My car is making a real weird noise from the rear of the car and Lexus is saying that I need to get OEM lugnuts on my car before they will even take a look at the rear axle and differential. So, the tech is saying it is unsafe to drive with those lugnuts on because they are longer than the OEM lugs.

So, i'm going to have to take money out of my modding fund to buy some really expensive lugs from the dealer. Someone take pics and post them up for me to see. I'll meet everybody at the next meet.

Heh, bet he'd love that! I know it's weird, but I'm originally from NYC where having a car is almost a liability, I didn't even learn to drive until I was 27 when I started working on Long Island and had to drive, somehow I just never had a chance to learn manual. Damn, I've never felt less manly!!

Why not come on out with the SC? You can always just enjoy some burgers and hang out for 5 bucks right?

Just curious, where do you go to school?

Don't feel too bad, I don't know how to drive manual either. I know how to drive e-shift, is that good enough?
But yet, i'm young and I learned to drive in an ES300 and the GS was never offered with a manual transmission either, but I do want to learn eventually.

Oh yeah it'd have to be an automatic, he doesn't drive a stick. Thanks, see y'all saturday, Chris.
Ya Chris, Ill be there with my SC mine and Steves(Sherns) ours are both stick however, Id be more than willing to give him a ride etc. There we'll be plenty of SC knowledge there between Steve, Chris(Kaiser), Wildrice09, and I as we all own/owned one at some time. Looking forward to this event. I'll be heading down there at around 9:45-10:00.

P.S. You and that boy need to learn stick. My father taught me how to drive stick before I even had my permit!

Wildrice PM sent. I have a set of lugs in my garage. They are tuner lugs designed for wheels with smaller lug bores.

My SC is at my parents house and my IS is in Tempe where I live for school. So right now I can't get down there to pick up my SC until I get the new lugs on.

Pavilions would be fun, but I can't do it this saturday. Another big ASU game, gotta support the school.

We should definately plan to go to Pavi one of these saturdays and get the whole Lexus crew to go out there.
