You are not the only one. My night consisted of staying at home, watching Robots and surfing the web. Not going out tonight.

Well you know I red, and I thought we discussed the S2k in my "possibilities" ?

I've always liked Red and White S2k's (like the other colors too but not for me)

What do you guys think about a Christmas meet at my place on Sunday Dec 4th? I have that day off. I was thinking about having you guys out for a little BBQ.

That could possibly work. For me though it will depend. Too many family b-days right at the beginning of Dec. Hopefully they pick one day to celebrate them all.

Hey Shalin I told a guy in 3rd gen to pm you. He had a question that regarded a manual. I told him you had one and might be able to answer his question.

For you guys who registered for the Taste of Lexus thing and are going tomorrow...Enjoy! At the end you get a goody bag but I won't tell you what's in it. The food is pretty good...just a bunch of fingerfoods...a lot of Coke/Sprite and Fiji Water. Check out the bathrooms too...they're gonna be the nicest port-o-pots you've ever seen.

My impressions: The IS350 should be put against the BMW 5 series...GS300 feels like driving miss daisy and the steering blows. no pics though but I had a blast.

No GS430's to drive ? BOOOOOOO
I've driven both the (late model) 300 and 400, an the 400 was much more fun than the 300.

GS430 was matched up with a Benz C500 or something like that. It was out there too...I just didn't want to drive it. My gf drove the RX400h and the regular RX330...she loves that thing. The GS series' handling (especially) steering felt like junk compared to the 5 series.

Yeah it's funny how not much of the CL/TL owning population are enthusiasts.
But I guess this applies to majority of car owners (excluding exotics of course). To most it's juts a car that gets them where they need to go, and sure they'll smile if someone compliments them on it, but 5 mins later, it's just a car again. But for us enthusiasts when someone compliments the car, we're ready to open the hood and fire up the grill (we're going to be here for a while)

Well Drew came over this weekend and we worked on installing the mesh into the lower grills on my car. Here are the pics.

This is right after taking out the lower grills


What is looks like in there when the grill is not in.


The grill piece before we started to modify it.


Drew using the Dremel to cut out parts of the grill piece.


Grill piece with everything cut out.


Grill pieces with the mesh in them



Close-up of one of the pieces



Here is the car with both pieces in. Not a good picture. I will take a better one once the weather improves.



Close-up of one of the lower grills.



Thanks for your help again Drew. As always comments welcomed, good or bad.

He's probably around, just might not be a noticeable poster.
Being all around the forums, I always see new people in the DFW/houston area popping up, but who knows.

Sounds great. We are alomst done building our house, so we may be able to host the Spring Fling if desired. Looks like we will be closing sometime in that time frame (and moving).

Cliff notes-Up in the air, depends on builder getting their A$% moving.
