Default The GS350 on the 17 Mile Drive

OK, since "Lexus is the Preferred Vehicle of Pebble Beach Resorts" and since this might be the last nice weekend of the year, I had to take the GS350 down to Monterey this morning...









Came out well, except for a few bugs on the bumper. It takes real self-control to drive less than 85 mph in this car.

The famous PB. I've done that drive once and your pics brings back memories. I would have joined you as well cause it's nice to take a drive every now and then.

That brings back old memories.....

Beautiful car and beautiful scenery

I was there last year and i took TONS of pictures with my new GS and posted it here at CL. People thought i was a pro photographer since the scenery was breathtaking.

Don't want to hijack your thread so i'll just leave it that...

Very nice! Congrats on the car

Default A few more - from the summit of Mt. Diablo...

...it handles the hill really well, but the gas mileage suffers rather badly.

Yes, 17 Mile Drive, like Hawaii, is one of those places that can make anyone look like a good photographer.
