Tyler, notice how with your calculated moves you always come out on top?
That's awesome, congrats to you and the whole family.

I see you're in NC. If you paid your property tax on the old car ask them to transfer the tags. The property tax is good for a year at the rate of the older car, and you won't have to pay plate fees for it. It's a nice way NC lets us save a little money.
Thank you! The plate on the ES expired in March and with the virus going on, we never got it inspected to renew. This tag will be a bit more expensive, but only marginally.

Thank you! My wife and I LOVE the LC. I've brought a few home before We would get one in a heartbeat if we could afford a mortgage payment on a depreciating asset

The LC is such a head turner. Guy at one of the campuses owns one, that low and wide body is spectacular.

Great GT car, I would think. Good luck?

Certainly not the fastest in the segment, even though the looks suggest it, but it's an awesome vehicle.

Yeah that belongs to my father-in-law. He bought it locally and kept it here while they were in-town visiting. It's awesome!

I didn't borrow shit! He bought it and parked it there so he could run around town without having to tow it. If anything, he borrowed driveway space from me

Fresh wax after I installed the OEM roof racks:



Borrowed this box from some friends until we get one of our own...taking two kids to the beach requires you to bring A LOT of stuff



We're at about 2,000 miles since purchase already. Really enjoying it so far!

Did you convince the wife beforehand with the old Lexus covenant?

If you think you can't, you won't.
If you think you can, you will.
We can, we will.
Congrats. RX is a great vehicle.

Why do you think he borrowed the roof box? To consider how feasible it is as a long-term solution.

Congrats on the purchase. The service at the dealership is amazing. I have the exact es that you had. It's a comfortable old man car.

I love the LX. But that price and 13-14 MPG everywhere we go? No thanks.

Luckily we don't roadtrip very often (for now) so a box is the best solution other than renting a Suburban for a week.

Thank you! We loved our ES and considered getting another one, but SUVs are easier for her getting kids in and out. It's not my primary vehicle so I didn't really have a vote

I prefer the 06-12 ES. The interior is a lot cleaner and the outside is cleaner. They even used more plastic to cover the engine. They skimped out on that with the new ES.
