SW03ES

I dunno about PDR on that dent...

Very nice! I had these in my ES300. What color are yours? Do your rears use the rear mat hooks?

Cool!

I like silver cars a lot, but they are just so over-represented on the road. Real easy to take care of... You do see a lot of black cars out there nowadays too...

Just for fun, I Googled your screen name. Pretty tough response you gave that ebayer on July 1 2010. You have good feedback though: http://myworld.ebay.com/retvethogrider How do you like the Squash Air Freshener you bought from ebay on December 2nd? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290301675473&viewitem=#ht_500wt_956 Or the floor mount for your Garmin Nuvi you bought on November 30th? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400145331382#ht_1684wt_907 $1,556 was a good price for the Rolex you sold on September 15th. You are a member at sexadventurefinder.com? Creepy. You post some on voices.idahostatesman.com Like I said...no privacy on the Internet

Nice work! LEXI beat me to it, thats what insurance is for. You'd be shocked how affordable that insurance is too...

Oh I know I need an iPhone...once it hits Verizon! Only issue is the need to plug it in and unplug it all the time. I think I would leave my music on my iPod Nano and leave it in the console like I do now. Have you ever tried streaming the audio from the iPhone over Bluetooth?

Yeah I don't see the big deal. Google yourself and you'll find your Facebook profile, etc. These things are by the nature of posting them online, a matter of public domain. All the threads you post in are searchable from outside the site too. What do you have in your LOC profile you don't want people to see? It lists like...what kind of car you have...and the state you live in...and only if you choose to put that information in there. Don't want anybody to know anything about you? Delete all the fields in your profile. Not a very happy camper? If this worries you...you should stop using the Internet because you're not cut out for it. There is no privacy on the Internet.

On the brake disc or on the rotor itself? The rust will build up on the disc when the vehicle is not being driven, especially when its moist. When you drive the vehicle the rust will be ground off by the brake discs. Totally normal. Nothing you can do about it.

Again...it is a machine and it does make noise when its running.

Yep it charges. The cigarette lighter outlet is to charge things that don't plug into the USB port. For instance a cell phone...

Its not a design flaw...its just not meant to be stuffed full of Subway bags and other stuff. Keep things neat and you'll have no problems...

Thats BS, no reason at all the car can't sit for 10 days. The issue may be that you never ran the car long enough to apply any charge to the battery, you just started, and then started again. So the battery was sitting there discharged anyways. If it happens again I would take it back to Napa and insist that the battery is bad...it could very well be.

You'd care about the warranty if the battery fails before its projected life. I had a Lexus battery with a bad cell one time...got replaced no questions asked.

Ooooh...tease!

LOL!

You need to take it to the dealer, and drive another RX350 and see if it also displays the characteristics you're describing. What sort of vehicle are you coming from?

The mirror is actually a parts bin item manufactured by Gentex. They are used on all sorts of vehicles of all different makes and models, so they have different capabilities depending on the application they are being used for. So theoretically its possible, although I would imagine you would need an all new wiring harness from Gentex. Here's the manufacturer's website: http://www.gentex.com/automotive.html

Doesn't exist. Used to be it was impossible to find any Lexus diecast models. They had a 1/18th 90 LS400...I have that. Then they came out with a GS and an RX...I have those...now you can get the new GS, LS and IS. I have the LS but not that GS or IS.

No such problems here...7100 miles...

The $1,000 for the Michelins is a joke. First off the dealer is probably selling the MXV4 S8 which is not the tire people talk about on here. We talk about the Primacy MXV4 which is cheaper and better. From TireRack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Primacy+MXV4&partnum=155HR7MXV4P&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Lexus&autoYear=2010&autoModel=ES%20350&autoModClar= $556.00 for 4 + $40 or so to ship and $20 per tire to mount and balance brings us to $676 installed. Compared to the Turanzas: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Turanza+EL400-02&partnum=155VR7EL40002V2&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Lexus&autoYear=2010&autoModel=ES%20350&autoModClar= $624.00 for 4 + $40 or so to ship and $20 per tire to mount and balance brings us to $744 installed. So you can see the Michelins are actually cheaper Compare the tire's stats: Bridgestone Turanza EL400 / Michelin Primacy MXV4 Service Description (load capacity of the tire): 93/94 (Advantage Michelin) Treadwear Rating: 260/620 (Huge advantage to the Michelin) Treadwear Warranty: None/60,000 Miles (Advantage Michelin) Consumer Survey Data: Would Buy again: 1.0/10 / 8.9/10 (Advantage Michelin) I mean...the tires are just not comparable. I have the Turanzas on mine and they are okay, but why would I pay more for a tire that is so poorly comparable to a much better tire? It just doesn't make any sense. Tread life is so dependent on the drivers and where the vehicle is being driven, if you can get 40,000 miles out of the Turanzas...I bet you'll do better than the warranty on the Michelins... Its something you may just have to take a leap of faith and try...but you won't be dissapointed.

First off, its not an ES350, its an ES330. $2400 is a lot to pay. I had the extended warranty on my '03, but I paid like $1600 for it. At $2400 I'd say no...

You'll be fine. Theres a minimum tread depth in the lease...

Congrats, enjoy!

Nada problemo
