  1. Anyone familiar with this site? Are they legit or a bunch of questionable crusaders. Paul http://www.lexusoverride.com/index.php
  2. My dealer has a "price match" policy where in they will match any price from any one, even Tire Rack. In addition, they put them on and balance for $20 a tire and brought them to my home wrapped in individual plastic bags. You might check with your local dealer. Paul
  3. Hello, and welcome to the LOC! Nice looking find. Paul
  4. Regular 87 octane, $3.38 Feb, 27, 2011
  5. I'll see if I can find it as well. Need a product for my Volvo S80 too. Thanks my friend!
  6. Thanks Brinck, I'll buy some and try it. Paul
  7. Not saying he is responsible for the price of gas today, you and I both know he's not. But, what I am saying, and a spin through the media rolls will support, is that I clearly remember the price of gas a huge platform used by the democrats in the last campaign against the republicans. Since then, they've focused on just about every other issue imaginable, except this, this being the ONE and ONLY number in the massive overflow of economic news over the past three years that EVERY single person with a voting card knows about. They know what that number is, what it was, and where it's going. Its the one number that doesn't discriminate it's impact of understanding to your kitchen table budget on your level of business savy or education. Your right, in that there are those things that are simply indivisible by any measurement. Whether that is the price of gasoline, food, the price of a house, or a credit hour of college tuition. Over the years, regardless of which party has been in office, I have come to believe that those that have, will have more, and those that have less are going to continue to get less and pay more. We have the best House and Senate that money can buy, and I'm becoming more cynical by the day. Yet, it is the best system in the world for self governance and there are people in Washington who do give a tinkers damn. I absolutely do not know any more what or if there is connection between the price of a barrel of oil and a gallon of gas. It is just a total hat trick in my perception. If oil hits $138 @brl. what will gas at the pump be?
  8. My memory is a little weak at the moment. Obama wasn't President in the 70's, was he responsible for that too? Paul
  9. My dealer also uses a blend of syn/oil, but will gladly put in any oil or synthetic you want to bring in. I'm due for my first 5,000 mile service, when at such time I will start using Mobil 1. Paul
  10. Regular, 87 octane $3.33 Feb,25 2011 - Where is this going guys?
  11. Detailed review of GX460. Very thorough. http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/25/2011-lexus-gx-460-review-road-test/ http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/25/2011-lexus-gx-460-review-road-test/ Paul
  12. I have wondered the same thing re: the exstensions on the 2010 ES350. I can't determine if they are real chrome or another alloy. I would think the two cars tips would be made of the same material. Hopefully someone will chime in. If not I'll call my friend at the dealer. Paul
  13. If your wanting to erase your registaration I don't know of any settings to do that. Why not go into the login and delete your password. Paul
  14. A new detailed review of the GX460 covering everything you can imagine. http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/25/2011-lexus-gx-460-review-road-test/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+weblogsinc%2Fautoblog+%28Autoblog%29
  15. Wish I had known that. I just replied to another post from this guy were I said "Welcome to the LOC". Boy do I feel dumb.
  16. Welcome to the LOC Bernie! What is the point of your post. Paul

    Gas

    For a night of leisurely reading when you can't sleep, use the search feature and look under gasoline or octane. This subject has been discussed ad nauseum and TX has given you the best advice. Paul
  18. Let me know what you come up with as you go along. I can use the knowledge. Paul

    Any Problems

    Hello and welcome to the LOC! I don't know the answer to your question right off hand, but if no one chimes in here after a time, you might want to post your question under the GS300 forum. Paul
  20. VSC= Lexus form of electronic stability control. Your right in that the "Snow Button" starts the car off in 2nd gear to reduce the potential of spinning the tires when starting in 1st and a change in torque. I too live in snow country, When all we had was rear wheel drive we always put on snow tires. Now, In moderate climates, I feel you can get by with a GOOd set of all season tires. I don't drive a GS, but from what my friends at the dealer tell me, a good set of snow tires on a GS will always be a good investment.
  21. Sorry to hear about your experience on your "Maiden Voyage", and very unusual that you didn't get a response to your query in the time frame that you needed it. First, we all are not able to sit around all day and wait for the very next question to come in, and sometimes there simply isn't anyone who knows the answer. However, someone could have at least responded and said they didn't know and I'm sorry I was one of those who did not. Funny, but I've done that in the past and then the person got mad because I didn't know the answer. Go figure! One of your issues with your nav unit picking what seems to be an unlikely route, may be your settings. Do you have the unit set to chose the "Fastest" route, or the "Shortest" route. Although they may appear to be one in the same, trust me they are not. We've had some interesting trips using both the Lexus nav and our Garmin nav based on those choices. You have a one year free subscription to the Lexus version of "On Star". I would encourage you to take advantage of that as your traveling and ask questions when things comes up. They want you to be satisfied. We carry the manual even though were pretty comfortable with the system by now. The other day it led me to an office on a street that wasn't even on the map! I was impressed. Paul
  22. The gardens in Victoria are world class.
  23. Really great panoramics of the city and bay area. The resolution is fantastic for INTERNET. Sounds like you had a good time. Is it really always cloudy there? Paul
  24. How about a little more information. Are we to assume this is a factory option remote start or an after market. What year is you GX? Has the car shut off when you open the door ever sense you have had the car or just when you started using the remote start?
