    Jim, I decided to go with the Yokohama Parada Spec-X but they are backordered for about a month from Discount Tire. I went in and prepaid, although not required, to make sure that there would be no "amnesia" regarding the price match. I am not in a big hurry since I have adequate tread wear left on my Michelins. I will report back when I get the Yokos installed. Tom

    Won't show anyway. :) Tom

    I assume you meant letting a local Discount Tire store match the price. Don't forget to figure in shipping. Yes, Jim, shipping is a factor. but it offsets local sales tax. Because of this Discount matches the prices without consideration for shipping. Tom

    Thanks for the input guys. I was thinking seriously about the Alenza based on RXRey's input as well as others but the Yokohama Parada Spec-X looks really good to me right now. I found them as cheap as $135.62 each online and plan on letting Discount Tire match the price. Tom

    I don't get the US/Canadian distinction, but more than that, the idiocy of irritating a paying customer by cheaping out on a quick exterior wash. Tom

    For that kind of money you could pay a metal fabricator to make a shield from aluminum and one that was better designed to not pack with snow. Tom

    Gee, thanks boys and girls. Not one comment on tires? Tom

    There has been quite a bit mentioned over the last few years in various posts on replacement tire options and sizes for our 400hs. Perhaps we could gather these opinions and into a new dedicated thread. Please add your comments, opinions, experiences, etc. Thanks in advance. Tom

    Well the economy has hurt everyone here, but I seriously doubt that Weathetech is out of business. I have seen their operation and they seem to do very well. And they still have multi-page ads in major car magazines. Tom

    Madlo, it is time for an old fashioned, post office letter to the CEO of Lexus of America. Emails are usually ignored but letters are read, re-read, and passed on for someone to handle. Tom

    I'm not sure I agree. Those are two completely different cars including dimensionally. Tom

    CD a long shot that sometimes works for me is to take an online price to a local dealer and ask if they will match it. If they can still make a profit they sometimes will sell it at your price. This would solve your shipping problem of course. Tom

    It's OK CD, do whatever you want with your car. It is after all yours. I did some controversial things to my early cars including painting a 64-1/2 Mustang hypo a hideous color of Cadillac purple. Do I have any regrets? No. It made me happy which is all that counts. Tom

    The only voice command my RX can consistently recognize is "screw up voice command." Tom

    Next time simply tell the dealer that the "clips seem to be missing." Phrasing can be everything when it comes to warranty matters. :) Tom

    You have just earned the "Lexus Owner's Club Shortest Post Award." :) Tom

    Aus, I hope you really didn't use a torch to check under your RX. Hopefully, in Australia, a torch is a flashlight! :D Dave Just be careful you don't refer to it as a "fleshlight." Tom

    I like my 400h too. Yes it has some things that could be improved and it has a few quirks. But overall it is an enjoyable car to drive. If I want a sporty drive I take my Porsche; if I want to haul stuff I take my Yukon. If I just want to get somewhere in style and confort I take my 400h. Tom

    I saw one LS600h in a parking lot and attempted to chat with the owners but I was treated like a commoner without my grey poupon so I gained little knowledge of ownership. Tom

    I generallly keep my unused spare as a spare for long beyond 5 years. Afterall, it is a spare, and will rarely if ever see any use. And if it does I will simply drive moderately until I fix the damaged/flat tire. Tom

    My experience has been that Lexus dealers ALWAYS have these in stock, probably because they work so bass-ackward that they are easy to break. Tom
  22. Gryphon
    Unfortunately this is OBD2 which won't work on older vehicles, like my Porsche 968. Bummer. Tom

    CD do you know for a fact that Lexus warranties leather or vinyl repairs for a certain length of time? I would strongly suspect that these sort of repairs carry a reasonably short warranty simply because they are repairing, not replacing the subject items. Tom

    I get many of my referrals from calling high end dealers and asking directly who they use for dents, upholstery, whatever. The yellow pages can be risky; it doesn't take much to become a "specialist" in whatever field they are in. Tom

    If I am not mistaken, the owner's manual wording for fuel requirement is different for each of 2006, 2007, and 2008 RX400h's. Tom
