Kick out your passengers. :P

I went to dinner last night in midtown New York City. I parked in an indoor parking garage for about 4 hours and paid the sum total of $48.00! Wow, can anybody beat that price. I guess I'll take the subway in the future. :D

A lot of Lexus dealers install the Camry spoilers instead of the aftermarket spoilers that steviej and I had installed on our cars. I never liked them(Camry spoilers) because they looked too clunky. Actually, it was because of steviej's installation that I copied his car, 'cause it looked sooo nice.

It doesn't make any difference. It just more of a pain installing it, as you have found out. :)

In the New York City area there are plenty of 'standalone' Jag dealers. ← Well, sure. Ain't that where all them rich people live? :D ← Yup, and I'm one of them. :P

Years ago, Jaguar was known to have brake and electrical problems galore. I guess they're getting better now.

I would feel exactly the same way.

OK Army.......Let's still be friends.......awright? P.S. I always have the same type of fights with my younger brother also. :D

Hey Army, Stop being immature! I did NOT imply that you're a liar! All I said was what was told to me back in 1991 when I went to a Lexus dealer and asked about CD players for that year car. How, in any way shape or form does this implicate you? IT DOESN'T! I was just relating my experience! I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND THIS IS WHAT I WAS TOLD BY A LEXUS DEALER AND ALSO AN AUTO RADIO COMPANY!!! The fact that you recently bought this USED, 15 year old car negates your argument, because you really don't know what was changed or done in all this time to this car. I don't give a rap that you had a "changer cartridge" inside your trunk, 'cause it probably wasn't there when the car was new. So what's your point?

Like I said before: In the Spring of 1991 while I was negotiating a deal at the Lexus dealer, I specifically asked about a CD player/changer that I would like installed on my '91 ES250. In no uncertain terms he told me that Lexus does NOT have this feature as an option! He also told me that the only way to have that done was to bring the ES to a car radio installer to put in an aftermarket unit. After seeing what was available, I decided not to do that and just be happy with the factory radio & cassette player. Furthermore, the audio dealer I went to told me the car was NOT factory wired for this CD addition. <_<

The first Lexus I bought new was a 1991 ES250 in Santa Monica Lexus in Santa Monica, CA, and I was never told about the option of a 6 CD player.

You are in the wrong forum. You should be here> http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showforum=2 But anyway, to answer your question......Yes, it sure sounds like a partially seized caliper. I would replace the defective caliper assembly and front pads(both sides).

I stand to be corrected.

LLumar products are for window tinting NOT for paint protection as is the 3M product that this thread is all about. :chairshot:

A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck came along, too close to the curb, and completely tore off the driver's door of the Lexus. The counselor immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and it wasn't more than 5 minutes before a policeman pulled up. Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the body shop tried to make it new again. After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life." "How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer. The cop replied, "Good grief man, don't you even realize that your left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you!!!" "Oh my!" screamed the lawyer, looking down at his missing arm. "Where's my Rolex?"

Anything is possible. :D I don't think that this project is for the average person, unless they have the electronic knowledge to do it. I would check the feasability of doing this at a car audio installer. I'm sure they'll tell you that you have to replace your factory radio, rather then rewiring it. P.S. I'm almost sure that a changer option was not offered as an option in 1990 ES's.

If the disc ejects it means that it couldn't be read by the laser.......so as I said, maybe the simple thing to do is to use a lens cleaning disc. A lot of dust can accumulate in the player especially on a 15 year old car. :)

Exactly what happens when you put in a CD? Are there any error messages? Sometimes all it needs is a CD Lens Cleaner disc, because of dust or dirt that prevents the player from reading the CD.

Don't feel too bad about not having the 3M Film installed. I had the dealer install it on my car before I took delivery, but here's the pros & cons that I have found. Pros- Looks good after being on the car 1 year and 8 months. No film discoloration that I can see on 'Millenium Silver' paint. Can prevent small paint chips from road debris. Cons- If your bumper contacts anything that is sharp enough to rip the film it makes a mark(ding) that can not be compounded out or retouched. No matter what I tried, I can't make the mark(s) invisible. If you decide to have the bumper repainted, the film has to be removed completely.....which is a big job. As far as I'm concerned, I will no longer use this film. I prefer to either use touch up paint or if it bad enough, I'd have the bumper(s) repainted.

Sorry, I don't agree that a little magnet can affect the operation of the air conditioning system. It must have been a coincidence. :whistles:

Thank you steviej.

Of course you must be kidding. There are parts of New Jersey that have the most beautiful mansions you have ever seen. :whistles:

I just received this eMail that's being sent to the President. Dear President Bush: Congratulations on your victory over all us non-evangelicals. Actually, we're a bit ticked off here in California, so we're leaving you. California will now be its own country. And we're taking all the Blue States with us. In case you are not aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, all of the North East States, and the urban half of Ohio. We spoke to God, and she agrees that this split will be beneficial to almost everybody, and especially to us in the new country of California. In fact, God is so excited about it, she's going to shift the whole country at 4:30 PM EST this Friday. Therefore, please let everyone know they need to be back in their states by then. God is going to give us the Pacific Ocean and Hollywood. In addition, we’re getting San Diego. (Sorry, that's just how it goes.) But God is letting you have the KKK and country music (except the Dixie Chicks). Just so we're clear, the country of California will be pro-choice, pro-!Removed! marriage, and antiwar. Speaking of war, we're going to need all Blue States citizens back from Iraq. If you need people to fight in Falujah, just ask your evangelical voters. They have tons of kids they're willing to send to their deaths for absolutely no purpose. And, they don’t care if you don’t show pictures of their kids’ caskets coming home. So, you get Texas and all the former slave states, and we get the Governator and stem cell research. (We would love you to take Britney Spears off our hands, though. She IS from the south, right?) Since we get New York, you'll have to come up with your own late night TV shows because we get MTV, Letterman, the Daily Show, and Conan O'Brien. You get . . . well, why don't you ask your people at Fox News to come up with something entertaining? (Maybe you should just watch Crossfire. That's a really funny show.) We wish you all the best in the next four years and we hope, really hope, you find those missing weapons of mass destruction. Soon. Seriously. Sincerely, California :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
