Talking about other cars I just got back from my last business trip and had the rental company provide me a 2014 Cadillac CTS Sedan.. Really blown away with all the tech in that car.. Sensors for everything.. lane switching checks, parking assist, switching between low and high beems automatically.. The 8 gear automatic with paddle shifters in sport mode responded really well.. Only thing I didn't like too much was the Navi.. Kind of a pain to operate..

the only complain I have with Lexus is their interior looks sooo 2005...the wifey has a 2003 Lexus ES300 and the interior is almost the same (wood trim, basic buttons) minus the nice tach/display....
also am not yet sold on the 'predator' grille upfront....it needs to grow on me a lot more...
love the super clean crisp pics though...

And thank you sir! That comment truly means a lot
Amen. Later this year
Haha I wish!
Still I like browsing them completely to see the history behind the car and owner

I'm glad you liked the CTS! Cadillac has really stepped their game up over the last few years. I would kill for a CTS-V Wagon
Take some pictures next time

As for the grill, it has grown on me. I think it's a bit too much on the RC being that it has such a wide base, but I'll have to see it in person first! I'm sure I'll still fall in love

I came here to talk to you about a man and his horse!
Once there was an young man who lived in a tiny village. Although joy-est, he was envied by all, for he owned a beautiful white horse. Even the king coveted his treasure. A horse like this had never been seen before — such was its splendor, its majesty, its strength.
People offered fabulous prices for the steed, but the young man always refused. “This horse is not a horse to me,” he would tell them. “It is a person. How could you sell a person? He is a friend, not a possession. How could you sell a friend.” One day Tyler, washed his horse and gave him some powder coated horse Hoof. His horse was bling bling.
Tyler horse hit vtec and ended up BUMPing off the rev limiter. Fear not! That horse stood like a champ! It's been months since we've last seen tyler and his horse. where thy art thou. Waiting to hear "Hello. Is it me you're looking for?"

Thank you Gus!
The TL is running like a champ but hasn't changed at all, hence no recent pictures or anything. I found a gas station near work that has 0% ethanol premium gas, so she's been drinking the good stuff recently
Here's a picture I took over the summer but I don't think I shared. Since this picture, the A-Spec lip has a new battle scar on the right side sadly but oh well.
Just hit 147k and averaging 30mpg during my 68-mile round trip commute. I have some plans for it next year but I have even bigger news happening next month

Holy fuck! Looks amazing! So god damn jelly you can get ZERO ethanol gasoline.. I've been looking all over NJ and unfortunately have to stick with a few gallons of 0% 100 unleaded octane gasoline. Looks great for 147K. I'm still at 99,498 miles. I may crack the 100K mark if I go to the Acura Crew Nation need in NC this Summer.

Trust me, the car looks much better pictures than in person The roof has faded and has started to crack. With that said, I'll be changing the look of the car a bit over the summer, but I'm currently working on another project that's taking most of my extra moola

15-20 miles or so. It was a blast.

The changes to the car will be small. No crazy wheels or air suspension or anything like that, I'm going to simplify the look a bit. I like the car but I'm over modifying it and such. It's paid off and I would rather put that money elsewhere, which leads to my next development that's happening next month as long as everything goes to plan

Sounds about right
However everyone is going to hate the location. It's an absolutely massive house but it's a rock/mud driveway for probably 1/4 mile
I drove the TL there once and it was filthy after getting beached on a pebble.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh I hate you. I wanted an exotic so badly but our location is pretty rural. We've got a 1960's Rolls instead.

Question, did you have any issues with your roof being wrapped when you went to wash or wax your car? Did it start to fade, if so when?

It's been on the car for nearly 4 years and it's just now fading and cracking. Sadly the car wasn't garaged through college and just sat outside, resulting in the heavy wear.
When it was first done, I had no issues with washing, but I only hand washed the car. It NEVER went through a machine.

Yesterday wasn't a good day for the TL. A coworker was moving a dealership vehicle and backed into my car
As of right now the car isn't being moved until I figure who's paying. Since the guy was on the clock and driving a vehicle owned by the dealership, I'm not sure if he's responsible through his own private insurance or if the dealership pays. Until then I'm graciously allowed to take a Lexus loaner vehicle home each day until it's fixed.
