99lsguy Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 GS, Good to hear from you. MY 99LS is up to 92K miles (just a pup!) Recently had the TB - WP and all the goodies replaced........so good to go for another 100K I'm sure. Still a great, smooth ride!
blake918 Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Good to see you back on here Joe! My beast is doing well; she's still running and looking like a champ. B) The 460 comes out in October, I believe. ;)
VBdenny Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Hey GS I am still running my 90. Love it!
GSsoldier Posted September 29, 2006 Author Posted September 29, 2006 its great to be back here... 198,384 miles and counting i also got lots changed up since i've been gone... new suspension, new tires from tirerack(kumho grandtouring), new timingbelt, new plugs lottts of new things in my car, i got that trunk hinge ground problem fixed, new AC blower. unfortuatly repairing all of that doesnt do anythin for my interior, my front driver seat is slowly breaking apart, lcd is almost pitch black, i had a bent rim (which i got replace for 200 eek) and gas how has everyone been dealing with gas? made the switch to lower octane? i couldnt bare it to fill her up with it Blake- when did u get moderator? congrats SW03ES- hows your ES doing? 99LSguy- thats great but i hope it didnt cost an arm and a leg VBdenny - as am i, i really considered trading my car in for a different car or a bike... i just couldnt part with my car i love it too much RFeldes- when did you get the second lexus? congrats on that is 92lex still around? i was checking my old posts and i remember him as being another guy from sacramento seems like theres used to be more sacramentons
blake918 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 how has everyone been dealing with gas? made the switch to lower octane? i couldnt bare it to fill her up with itBlake- when did u get moderator? congrats Even though these cars will run fine on regular, the savings of putting regular in v. premium is hardly noticeable (20 gal @ 2.20=$44 compared to 20 gal @ $2.40=$48....only a $4 difference.), so I've stuck with 93. I became a moderator in May--it has been just fantastic to help out with a wonderful Lexus Club like this one. ;)
RFeldes Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I bought the 2002 last september a week ahead of the Hurricane...lol..Still Loving it... ;)
nc211 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Well well well...look what the cat dragged in!!! :D Good to see you back in action GS I finally defeated the wobble problem, thank God! Turned out to be the driveshaft. I'm up to 120k miles, and just cruising on down the road. Got married, new job, and closing on my first new house in about 10 days. Still trying to keep Ralph in line, I think his cat repoduced, which has doubled the litter-box fumes. :D I now refer to Blake as "Sir, Yes Sir", and he keeps cleaning his car, which makes mine look like crap. Got a deal in the works with a pack of seaguls heading south for the winter, to pay him a visit. Only cost me a bag of fries from McDonalds, and some x-lax. I can't really hark on Ralph, since he's upgraded to the high-cotton section with his 02' LS430. Nothing seems to break on his car. Although we did have a tough time teaching him how to turn on the radio....cat-litter again. hahaha B)

See, he keeps keying his cruise control button like it's a CB radio. "Breaker breaker...Bandit where you at? Got a county-mounty knockin on the door..come back".

GSsoldier Posted September 30, 2006 Author Posted September 30, 2006 oh man about cruise control... setting it at 80 miles an hour is succhhh a bad idea... i didnt even think about it it feels the same as 65.... i recieved my first ticket because of it... now i got to wait 18months for i can speed agian without raising my insurance haha but i considered just not speeding too bad you cant tell unless u look hahah nc211- not a bad year for u huh? haha fixed the wobbles huh? mine are very minor but sometimes it hits at 45mph i should get my driveshaft checked, and dont get my started on cleaning my car, everytime i clean it seagulls and pigoens see fit to !Removed! on my beautiful hood, that and tree sap gives my car a nice natural look
VBdenny Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 I would not put regular gas in my car unless it was some kind of emergency. I filled up yesterday at Costco and gas was $1.91 reg $2.14 Premium. I happily paid the $2.14
GSsoldier Posted October 10, 2006 Author Posted October 10, 2006 gas in california is so crazy high! its like 2.80 for 90+ octane
