  1. Hey Manley, and welcome. Not that I know much about it but with my car after I paired an old phone and my iPad, my new iPhone wouldn't pair. I deleted all the old devices and then it worked. My 2004 ES330 doesn't have bluetooth so can't offer much more but my guess is that someone here will know. Denny
  2. I myself have never heard of a dumb woman. I was born at night but not last night.
  3. Ha You aren't kidding about hoping things would last on that British junk. My roomie in college (with NO mechanical ability) had a 1968(or 9?) Triumph TR4A IRS. Fast little thing which almost got away from me a few times but I'll blame that on beer. Of course being British, everything broke. I replaced possibly every instrument gauge (after the big short incident), the transmission (after both first and second were gone) and the front rotor and wheel hub after the front tire passed us one night. Story: We heading home from college (about 30 miles) and we are coming up a corner (Parker's Hill) and we see a tire go sailing by. Chris (my roommate) says "what the **** was that" then realises that it is his front tire at which point he uttered some biblical phase that began with Holy. Well the car (running on the rotor now) got all out of shape and we we lucky to bring it to a sparky finish a half mile from home (before cell phone). They used these stupid spinner methods to attach the wheel. I always thought it was an idiotic engineering tribute but I was then convinced. I had a Ford Cortina. Oh man,tortured that one. Won't even go into the Miata other than to say new tires should last more than 4,000 miles and still pass inspection.
  4. now I am proud of myself! More when I access my backup.
  5. This will sound pathetic but since my pictures are on my phone and I have forgotten how to use a computer, I'll have to find my pictures. Yeah I know.
  6. Sorry not good on phone
  7. Truck & IS
  8. Yes. That is exactly it. I always love having my car more than spotless. Almost to OCD.
  9. I see no one else jumped in to answer and I think I know why. The answer in my opinion is yes I've done so many stupid things over the years that I feel your pain. I don't remembet such a lock on my 90LS
  10. Agh. At least I knpw BBS wheels. BBS even made factory wheels forSaab in the early 2000's. Top grade wheels.
  11. That is exactly the way I think Steve. I like DOING stuff, not watching people do stuff. Drives my wife crazy that I don't sit still and watch NCIS with her. Nope, I'm in the garage waxing my car and watching the weather channel.
  12. Only a true car nut would try this type of experiment. Looks very good blacked out. Always nice to have another Lexus'er in the old club so welcome.
  13. Bottom line is I enjoy driving more than watching ANY sport in person or on TV. I have good luck with my license and bad luck with tire wear. Watching sports in any form is still watching
  14. Optima makes three different batteries. A Red Top for road vehicles, a blue top deep cycle marine unit and a yellow top storage I think. Usually always in stock at Autozone and Advance.
  15. Well looks like my shot in the dark missed its mark. Probably many people from the west coast on here. Due to a lack of good ole car loving southerners, guess I'll bag this idea. I kind of thought most Lexus drivers were above NASCAR which is confirmed. If you can watch basketball and find it exciting, but NASCAR not, you have a much different perspective than I. Watching people running back and forth throwing a ball to me is just as exciting for y'all watching cars go around. Go drive a few laps in one of the cars and you will find it snything but boring. All in the knowledge and atmospheres.
  16. My wife works in Rocklland Massachusetts, south of Boston and said her RAV4 AWD does okay. Still didn't ride like a car but I can't say I would call it bouncy at all.
  17. I drove 9 laps at Charoltte in the Richrd Petty Driving Experience. Did a 143 lap only because they wouldn't let me go faster.
  18. When you go to your first race. Seeing 43 cars each with 900 horsepower flooring it at green, it takes you breath away. More fun than Interstate driving
  19. oh yeah, sorry. Welcome to LOC Pam. Thanks for joining our group. Denny
  20. If money is not your primary concern, there is only one choice. Optima Red Top. I have one over 8 years old in my Nissan Frontier and it still works great. Expect to pay about double of a typical battery but also expect it to last 3 times as long. My choice. Never had much luck with Interstate Batteries and am pretty disappointed that Costco switched to them. Advance, Auto Zone etc sell Red Tops.
  21. Like any sport, it is all about knowing the players. I've followed nascar for years and know all the playets. Of course being from Cslifornia things are very different there. I think nascar will cut the California race at some point as attendance is terrible. Having been to many races I will tell you they are exciting
  22. Since I know there are a bunch of car freaks around here I was wondering if anyone likes NASCAR. I just set up my (easy) racing pool with friends and was thinking of setting up a group for LOC. Really easy, just pick the 10 drivers you think will win each week (or let your picks ride) and collect valuable points. Winner earns valuable bragging rights. Sorry, no cash rewards so prepare your brags cause that's all you will get. Let me know and I'll set up a group on upickem and post the link. Denny
  23. That is exactly why I held my wife off from getting an SUV/crossover. I do not like them because of the ride. My wife loves them because of the height. As I previously mentioned, I prefer low. Very low.
  24. For whatever reason I have never touched the Enform application. My iPhone links up to audio if I select bluetooth as the source. Seems to always start when I do that regardless of applications used since. Probably would be a good idea for Lexus dealers to spend a little more time teaching people how all the electronics work. My wife's RAV4 has all the En-stuff also never used. I'm sure it is a fine but not if you are lazy like me and don't bother to learn. My favorite is the ability to call up tire pressures on screen.
  25. They actually look very much like the 2015 IS350 F Sport wheels.
