Punkers Slave Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Please complete the question.... this could get interesting. Friends that would not hesitate to climb in your last car (FoRd) with a lit cigarette will not get in yur Lexus with one .. LOL
FA22ChevelleSS Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 ... When you show it off to your friends as the god of all cars, then as soon as they turn their backs, curse in a furious rage because the iacv is "doing it" again, lol!
Johnag Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 When your left blinker goes all fast, like there is a light out, but all lights are in working order
Crashola Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 You know you own an ES300 when . . . Your five-year-old Chevy with 50,000 miles has been in the shop 8x as much as your thirteen-year-old ES300 with 150,000 miles. By the way, never ever buy a Chevy Trailblazer.
Toysrme Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 ...you love it that cars 6-15 years old still look major hawt... except for the really !Removed! taillights, wtf!? ...your 15 year old leather in the cheapest lexus made is still atleast 3x the quality of any current L-daddy, Caddy, or Chrysler. ...you ask me questions directly ...you actually have my number in your cellphone, and txt me on a semi-regular basis sorry, had to do it lol
Slooooooow Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 When the tech at the tuner shop doesn't believe the receptionist, the copy of the insurance card, or the "model year" on the inspection sticker and instead pops the hood to confirm the model year of your car because he thinks it HAS to be a few years newer than it is. Awesome.
lilwytlex Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 You know you own a lexus es300 when You will spend 10x the money its worth to keep it cherry You always look for a reason to talk and think about your es --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I take pride in how much money Iv spent on my car love it to its death
capecodlexus Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 You know you own a Lexus 300 when: You pull into the Toyota dealership where you work and every one there knows that it is "not" a dressed up camry. Your two kids come home from college and fight about who is going to drive my 98 with 115,000 miles instead of my wife's Limited Highlander with 60,000 miles, that has Nav and rear DVD. Your kid's friend says your dad owns a "lex" and they come home and tell you about the new word that has been added to the teenage vocabulary. You do a walk around every time they give you the keys back.
vstolyarov Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Your steering is light, and suspension is very soft and you are proud to know that your car is a classic and drives better than most newer cars your 12 yrs old pioneer system still sounds awesome
zockslexus Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 When you gladly respond to the question, "Is there any rust on it" with a, "nope". :snoooorrrtttt:
kingjack133 Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Please complete the question.... this could get interesting. You know you own an ES300 when you pull into the repair shop and the mechanic insists to the boss that he WANTS to work on your 15 year old ES300 instead of the 2 or 3 cars before you .... (because he owns one too and loves it with a passion!)...
sakr4360 Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 When you buy this nice 99 with 46,000 on it. Then you realize the premium sound system sounds like crap You give your 5'7" neighbor a ride and he says its crampy for such an expensive car You wish it had a limited slip diff instead of that insidious VSC Then after a week I realize I wish my 92 maxima didn't have 296,000 on it.
powerwave Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 when you've already replaced the engine once and sure enough the replacement is knocking already, but you won't give up on it, no, you start looking for a *better* engine to drop in... stupid 2vz engines (if you're curious, that's not actually a 300, it's a 250)
kkaid2 Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 You know you own an ES 300 when you left the dealer and you feel like you have been to the proctologist. By the way I love my lexus just not fond of that just fckd feeling leaving the dealer.
zzoaozz Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 People say "wow, you must make good money to drive a Lexus," and you just smile and don't bother correcting them. and Older people in Lincolns and Caddys scowl at you as you wait at traffic lights and turns.
zzoaozz Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 When your left blinker goes all fast, like there is a light out, but all lights are in working order LMAO, it's my right blinker, but same thing, left is all normal, right acts like it's hopped up on speed.
walkingon2001 Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 you know you won a Lexus... when you hear your car is running smooth as silk. (I have a '94, btw)
richard99 Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 When people refuse to believe it is 14 years old.
MalluDriver Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 ...when every time you start the car you look at the dashboard to see which light is going to cost you bunch of money this time around. This could just be me but that how I go through driving my car.
Lexodus Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 You Know You Own An Es300 When... ...your passenger asks you if your car is running. This happens occasionally since the car is so quiet at idle, and all the time really. B) ...people who just dropped $20-30k on a new car think your the "rich" one because you drive a lexus. Even though I bought mine for $11k in 2003 with 74k mi - and now it has 140k mi with no issues and their now 6 year old car with 75k on it has cost them a few thousand in repairs and they still have a car payment. :D ...you've had the same car for 6 years while all your friends hate their cars and trade them in every two years. And they have to roll over negative equity in the car while yours has been paid off for 3.5 years ...you cant read the radio anymore even though it still sounds awesome. :( ...people think your 12 year old car is new until they realize it has a tape deck in the dash. :P
Bknott72 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 After just joining and exploring I am finding out most of us are too familiar with it sounding like your front end is gonna be in a thousand pieces after going over a bump. But I have 223k miles and everything else still works like the day I got it!
