Really? You guys didn't like it? It's not the interior you'd expect to see in a Japanese super car, but I thought it was pretty nice.

Was it reupholstered or is that how it comes from the factory? I can't seem to find much on it.

^I hated the interior. It looked like something that belonged in a donked out 1983 Caprice Classic

It's aftermarket for sure. I've driven a GT-R and I believe it has leather seats with suede inserts:

Looks like you guys had a good time.. Sorry I couldn't make it as I already had a trip to the Dragon planned.. I was with you in spirit..

Here is a pic of my car from the trip. Just feel like whoring my car a little before it's no longer mine

the meet was good.. Really nice place and great to get away from Raleigh for a few days.. The weather on the other hand didn't want to cooperate with us.. Snowed and rained on us at some point of both days up there..

Side note- My TL handled like a damn boat up there.. Factor in the lowness of my car, plus the wide wheels and summer tires= FAIL

I could take the roads at about 35-40 but it felt like I was floating all over the road

It always blows when the weather doesn't cooperate. Hopefully you guys still had a good weekend.

I knew that would happen. At least you were able to make it up there and roll around for a bit.

You sure you want to get rid of the TL?

Only as a backup.. They've dropped the price on the LS by like 5gs. I'm hoping dude will hurry up and get the car before it gets sold

^I think Jason said the guy knows you or something? He's big into the VIP scene.

So what's good on Cook Out offering breakfast? I want.

^I think he's shooting for a LS460L but it comes down to price. He's considered a GS350 as well. Both the same white color you have Jon.

If it wasn't a matter of gas milage, I would have only looked at the LS! I love the GS but if both got the same numbers on the hwy, I would have been all over that car. You can find an LS for about 5-7 grand more than the same GS.....Let the searching begin Jason! Keep us informed brotha'!

Jason - don't know about this weekend; have to see how it goes. I might be able to swing by at some point on Saturday, though.

Yea I def dont do as much traveling as you so the gas mileage isn't that big of a factor for me. I've found a LS460 for 33k and a LS460L for 38k.. All comes down to what the bank work out for me as far as interest rate.. I'm shooting for the L model... I mean, reclining rear seats and TV/DVD already installed.. Don't get much more VIP than that... Now all I have to do is find someone that is willing to drive me around so I could actually use all that.. LoL

Nice! Yeah don't forget about the heat and cooled rear seats and the fridge in the middle. That might have been an option but I am sure either way, you will love that car. 33k for an LS....It's gotta be up high in the milage? Post some pics on your facebook or here to let us see the ride. Good luck man and I am excited for ya!

It's a 07 with 45k .. The L model has 52k. Kind of higher than I wanted but a Lexus is like a honda.. Things last forever if kept up
