    4th Generation Lexus LX (LX 600, LX 700h) Megathread

    My GS 450h battery died right around 100k miles and the car was toast. Christmas lights on the dash lol. Lexus was kind enough to replace it. This might be 2010 or 2011. I remember my friend the tech yelling the battery was like 300lbs and a pita to replace. LX 700h is the apocalypse SUV...

    Official 5th Generation GS Thread: Dreams of what could have been

    Funny but 9 years today I picked up a Canadian GS F out in Vancouver. It was completely loaded with forged cargo and the rear luxury package and power everything. Wish we got this spec

    Lexus LFA II Megathread

    I guess I can talk more about the LC F as I’ve seen it, touched it and seen under the hood and immediately said I’ll take it. My heart still aches we didn’t get one. With this new car I am scared I will be priced out. I gotta sell more lemonade at the lemonade stand lol.

    I think it’s a conversation to be had soon as I surely would try to elevate it and keep it busy with meet and greets and events. Atlanta would be perfect it’s just finding a good place with foot traffic. The current space I think is near the old Crafted by Lexus space a few years ago. There was...

    Sorry for the late reply. I appreciate that. It is nice to hear positivity. Fortunate enough to turn a passion into a business. I appreciate Lexus giving me the opportunity to play a small part. My challenge is trying to scale up as I feel my creativity and ideas are different. It’s tough...

    Will the inauguration of President Trump put Japanese automakers in a difficult position?

    @CRSKTN is way more plugged in than me but from what I am seeing is we aren’t even in the conversation anymore for the next stage of the world. This tariff shock has them talking to one another without us as stability is being promised. Our passport used to be the envy of the world and now you...
