LEXIRX330

Now that I had not thought of! :D I have a English Lab he is almost 110lbs...he can be pretty protective... Mow them down and let GOD sort it out.... DC!!! :D :D

Thanks...Jibby wasn't sure if you thought I was going to blast them!! :D Yea...Tom I think the lights I put up will help a great deal...

Jibby- I am not talking about shooting a bunch of kids in my yard...I am not sure if you read my post wrong or not. The guns I have would be used if I felt that my or my families life was in jeopardy. Now as far as the little punk kids...I am big enough to take care of them. I appreciate your suggestions...and I at sometime all of us have, or will have something like this in any neighborhood...glad my situation is minor compared to yours! Anyway over the weekend...I replaced my floodlights with security lighting around the back of my home. I also talked to a couple of my other neighbors and we are all going to the homeowners association meeting this week. Another person in the beginning of the development has had their mail box creamed...and another has had their lights busted out... They did not show up that I am aware of this weekend...

Well I have plenty of GUNS!!! I do not have kids (yet) and I have no kids in my home at any times...I just wanted to make that clear before I say...I keep a loaded hand gun the clip is popped out in my night stand. I have a 12 gauge shot gun in the closet with shells close by. I also have quite a few guns in other places...most of them are just collectors...(collecting dust). Not planning on opening up fire on them but if they break into the home while I am home then that is another story.... Any way...the car cover is not going to solve my problem. Thanks for the idea...if they only had been looking in the Jeep maybe...but since I have found that they had been all around the home...that is what bothers me. Car alarm same deal...both my car and my wifey's are parked in the garage...Jeep is a beater. I still do not want them to break in it of course but if they did the only thing they would get is a set of jumper cables... unless of course they are smart enough to actually steal the JEEP. Whatever...it would make me aware that they are outside though... I am planning on going to Lowes and swapping out my rear floodlights for motion lights...I think I like the tackle and duct tape idea the best!!!! What the worse thing is every little sound I hear I am ready to put my shoes on and whoop some !Removed!! I did quite a few stupid things when I was younger but I did not bother other peoples property... :chairshot: The bad thing as they probbably are not terrible kids but they are going to get hurt or even worse...if they keep this type of thing up.

Thanks guys...I did call the Cops the first time...I think that I will call them agian and advise that I have had someone back at my home. I do have a couple of positives in my development...my neighbor across the street is an attorney, and the other two neighbor's are DR's. So after I beat the living *BLEEP* out of them...I can let the DR's treat them and the Lawyer defend me in court! :D

Love mine... :D

About a week ago...I went to bed around 11, dog starts barking and the wifey hears something outside. I look out the blinds and I see 3 kids (actually they probably were close to 18) looking in my Jeep. Not thinking the first thing I did was turn on the lights and open the door and yelled at them (was in my boxers and did not have shoes on) They took off running and I see them looking into another car down the road from my front window. Both of these cars were not parked on the street...but in driveways. I called the police they sent a deputy out about an hour later. He drove around but did not see them. I have heard that this is the new High School/ just out of high school thing to do. Look to see if cars are unlocked and then take everything out of them Now yesterday morning I had a few things to do outside and I find 3 cigarette buts right next to my Jeep. I looked in my front yard and there is a beer bottle and more cigarette butts. And in the back of my fenced in yard more cigarette butts... :chairshot: I had just recently sprayed weeds in the area and know for a fact that someone had been in my yard that night. Now I am not scared of these little pricks and I honestly wish that I had put my pants and shoes on and kicked their little punk asses. I have a 110lb dog in my house so I do not think while I am at work that someone will try to get in the house. I also have an alarm system...sort of I never set it because of the dog, but I have signs in the yard that say protected by.....! If I see them in my back yard I will let the dog out there and I will wait for them in the front. I am thinking about putting security lights in the back of the house. I have flood lights there now. This is just got me pretty upset, I wanted to know what else I could or should do. I have thought about calling the president of the homeowners association but as I said I am pretty sure these are not neighborhood kids. I have talked to my neighbors about this and they have never had any problems like this... SO WHAT TO DO !

It is funny...most of the time when people see my wife's car ( C230 ) they are like WoW must be nice to have a Mercedes Benz...I get a few comments about my RX330 but not near as many as she gets. We left a dinner with some of the my wife's co workers and one of the ladies was going on and on about my wife's car, and this lady was driving a GMC Envoy Denali...it more than likely cost just as much or more than my wife's car. I drove her car to work a few days ago and I had about 3 customers come in the office and say who has got the Mercedes...This is all fine with me...I am in one of those types of jobs too...you want people to know that you are successful but you do not want them to think that you are making to much money either...

i second that The system restore should work!

NC bud that sucks! :chairshot: I think you need a shot of Penicillin :D

I may be wrong and I know I am way off topic but...I am pretty sure that I heard reports that George Bush's grades were better than John Kerry's...and not just that George Bush also flew jets...I do not think that the man is dumb. Just wondering how did you come up with George Bush's IQ? Because from every article I have read and what I have heard in the news he has not taken an IQ test...but in fact if you took his SAT score and compared it to John Kerry's bush scored higher and would have had the equivalent of a higher IQ? http://www.csbsju.edu/uspp/Election/bush011401.htm Now having said that I certainly do not agree with quite a few things he has done...but what was the alternative? Personally, I think that there should be a qualification test in order to be eligible to vote! Now that makes since to me...

2004 Lexus RX330 - Mine 2006 Mercedes C230 - Wifey 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport - Walmart ride and such!

Just had mine repaired...goodwill! It will drive you crazy! :cries:

I was not trying to be mean, in fact, the opposite trying to be helpful. ;) And, again I'm not trying to be mean, but I could use the instructions from the above link to change the transmission fluid in my 4 cylinder Toyota Camry! But, hey I could be wrong and this would not be the first time. Perhaps, others with more intimate knowledge of the RX330 could pitch in. I did not think by any means that you were trying to be mean. But you did say he should search...I searched and found nothing related to changing the tranny fluids on a RX330...so he could have tried. I just simply wanted to point out that he has a different car. It is a different tranny and I would think that they require different fluids and/or amounts.

:whistles: but...he has a RX330 not a RX300... glideusmc...I am not sure about the drain plug...if you have searched on here and not found the answer just give it some time and someone else will surely post the way to do it.

I would have to say that I think it looks more like the Porsche SUV then the Lexus. I passed a CX-7 the other day... ;) Not a fan of Mazda...girl in our office has just had a Mazda 6 go back under the LEMON LAW. Had problems from the day she got it.

SW- I don't see that. He is not comparing the LS and the ES. From what I have read he is just unhappy with the car and the problems he is having with it. Sure the ride would be different in a LS than an ES...but that is not what he is complaining about...or at least I do not think so???

When the 1st payment is do! :D J/K....have had mine a year and I still love the feeling I get driving it!

I also was going to say check the Tire pressure...or at least get your husband to check them! :D They are more than likely to high...especially since you said you did not notice until you got your tires rotated....good luck!

Yea...the wifey's C230 has a cup holder that pops out and turns. It looks like just a single cup holder...but then you push it and it pops up and turns to the passenger for the 2nd cup holder... :o It is OK...

My mistake...I miss read what he said. Thought he was talking about 2007. But the 3 series is what I was talking about...Sorry!

Yes...it does...look...see the little rectangles in the dash. It is like the pop out cup holders in a chevy truck.

No...say it ain't so! J/k :whistles: Shayan...when you start dumping more $$$ into a car then it is worth you might want to get rid of it...cars are not investments so the fact that you spent over 2 grand on a car that is worth 4k or 5k will not make it worth 6k or 7k in most cases. Sometimes you have to cut your losses. The key as everyone has told you is to makes sure the car has been well maintained if you are buying a used car...just because you are doing regular services now is not going to change the fact that the car could have been drove for years while not being properly maintained. Now you can dump it and try to come close to breaking even or keep it and if something else goes up go in deeper! Good Luck!

Yes! I just got my RX330 back for same thing...Sheehy Lexus fixed it for me as goodwill! Man...it was driving me nuts!!!

When I talked to the salesperson...I was told I pay nothing. You get the service as needed up to 4 years or 50,000...and I am sure that I was told that I did not have to pay anything at all. Well it doesn't matter...just spent $200.00 for my oil change and tire rotation...but I still love my LEX!!! I also hated the interior of the new BMW's...the cupholders looked like crap....in the dash right over the passengers knees.
