Warning to all we Lexus owners!
The curbs, the poles, the trees, the birds!
Matt, Matt, Matt, you are not alone, my friend. We all have to be careful. Now, if any of you are new Lexus owners, perhaps you like I are suddenly noticing that there are a lot of Lexii on the road. Many of them are Starlight Pearl, like Matt's and my CTs. A lunch with my iPhone, I surveyed in my small "Research Park" lot a scholarly stable of Lexussses and easily found two oops examples; both man- and bird-made. I scientifically recorded these events, then turned to the bumper of my OWN sled driven today. This is the one with a REAL engine, a key I put in a lock and twist, and "Microsoft Sync" (which allows me to have bluetooth audio from my iPhone AND, at the same time, use of the phone from a speaker below the convertible cowl).
...Problem is this sinful car gets 13.2 MPG. It's cool, because in almost 8 months since new, the car has traveled only 800 miles. Oh, I am ashamed when I "giggle" over the result of 415 BHP and 390lbs of torque, connected to a 6-speed, a clutch, and throaty duel pipes. No Pearl here; just Performance White. Oy, the guilt!!!! It's recent "brother" was a weenie 2008 red Prius mouse-ie that bent if you leaned on the metal. Notice the Mustang front bumper is spotless, but ALSO notice the deep scrapes on the curb (not by me)...so I park this car and the CT VERY carefully, as it should be.
The aforementioned Prius got scraped badly by a kid in a BMW and I got it expertly fixed by Tustin Collision Center a year or so ago for about $300, but the damage was far worse. I had it done right away because I am a Virgo.
And, yes Matt, The Car Spa is a fabulous wash and shine, but you have to wear expensive shades and stay on your cell doing deals while waiting and also commenting on the chi-chi Newport dogs on leashes who are waiting to get back inside their Bentleys.
