  1. I just looked on eHow and it looks fairly simple. Has anybody done this and is it as simple as it sounds? 🚗
  2. Welcome. Do you have any pics of the car??? That would make me so nervous. When I sold my car, the guy that bought it couldn't believe how good condition it was. He said most people post pics on AutoTrader of the vehicle when it is new!
  3. Spent most of the day yesterday detailing my sweet baby. Wash, wax, clean interior (it was filthy from riding with the top down) vacuum, applied protectant to all plastic pieces and Zaino leather protectant to the seats. I even got the door jambs. Here is an interior shot. I'll try to find some pretty fall foliage for some exterior shots. Now you see why I can't buy a used car?
  4. I have to buy new. I'm to anal to buy a used car. I also don't want to tie up a lot of cash in a car. Even my sister that could afford the whole dealership financed her new BMW because she said she can make more money on her money than the interest rate they offered her. As with everything, to each his own. :-)
  5. Makes you want to become a policeman!!!!!! Protect and Swerve.
  6. Now that is one good looking SUV!!!!!!
  7. I feel your pain about Lexus of Memphis. Must be nice to be the only game in town. I had to beg my idiot salesman to sell me my car. I finally had to go to a friend of mine that was friends of the owner to get them to sell me the car!!!!!! The only other 2 ISc with the F-Sport package within a 300 mile radius were in Jackson, MS and Nashville. I really didn't want to drive that far to make a deal. I really doubt I will buy another Lexus, and Lexus of Memphis is the reason. Infiniti of Memphis is awesome, but I won't buy another Infiniti. What dealership did you buy yours from?
  8. Pine sap = turpentine!!!!! Don't park anywhere near a pine tree. Pine cones will chip your paint if they fall too.
  9. Anybody know of a reliable site I can go to to see if my car is affected? They say Toyota is, but I haven't seen anything that says that it extends to Lexus.
  10. $3.09 for premium at Costco. Whooooooo!
  11. You might try using a car polish with a little bit of abrasives to it. Clear coat safe of course. I had some spots on my car and I waxed it with Nu Finish. It took everything out. If the spots are too bad, you might try a clay bar.
  12. Even in the states where it is a law and posted everywhere.
  13. Doesn't he realized that people with Lexus's don't have love problems???? Teeheehee!
  14. Yeah. I guess you don't realize the importance of aerodynamics till you don't have it. :-)
  15. Oh yeah. I had it 4 1/2 years and it never went back to the dealership. Honda doesn't try to trap you into a lot of unnecessary maintenance like Lexus and other luxury brands. It is SMALL! There wasn't any kind of console compartment or glovebox at all. Did you know that they didn't even come with an auto tranny! Only a 6 speed. You really had no choice of options. They only came one way. I actually saw the guy that bought it a few months ago at a gas station. It was still in great shape. He had replaced some kind of sensor and replaced the top. It looked brand new. I'll tell you a little funny. I'm VERY claustrophobic. When I bought the car, it was on the showroom floor with the top down. I didn't realize how small it was inside till I left in it with the top up. It was January. I had to drive around with my window down for months. I would have nightmares about getting trapped in it. I eventually got to where it didn't bother me. It is kinda scary driving a car like that in a distribution city like Memphis. 18 wheelers are everywhere. It sure was fun on a curvy road though....winding that thing up to 9 grand!
  16. Amazing. When I had my S2000, it had more HP per liter than any other non forced induction engine. I don't know if that is still true. That was a fun little car. Not fast, just fun and a real head turner.
  17. Yum. What is that in MPH? I saw a Porsche with a spoiler like that in Memphis the other day.
  18. The girl at Lexus and the service manager at the stealership got a good chuckle out of it. I really do have a lot of wind resistance at that speed. That is what I love about the car!
  19. Can you just imagine how much it would cost to repair a tranny like that? Eek! I love all kinds of cars and nothing sounds better than pulling up to a Harley at a traffic light with my top down. Also, my Z28 with the supercharger whistle and the Borla exhaust going under an overpass. Ahhhhhh
  20. I sure like to look at them though, and I sure love the rumble of a good LT1. When I first bought my Z28, I would crank it up and just stand behind it and listen to it. I was the first V8 I had had since my '76 Camaro.
  21. Yeah, as much as I loved my supercharged Z28, I had gotten to where I enjoyed driving my 370Z better. I rarely drove it. Selling both of those let me be able to buy my sweet Lexie and retire and enjoy her.
  22. Wow.....454. That is some cubes! Hubby and I were headed to the casino Sunday. There had been a big car show at Sams Town and it must have just let out. For about 20 miles we had a rolling car show rolling towards us. I saw some beauties for sure. I sure miss having a car to show. :-(
  23. I couldn't get up a good head of steam, too much traffic and misting rain. :-( The good thing about that area is that it is illegal for an 18 wheeler to be in the left lane so it flows pretty smoothly. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Hills, turns, tunnels, white water rapids.....natures beauty at its best.
