Smile New member and some of my rides *Pics*

New member here and a first without regret to a Lexus. Really love the car and didn't expect it to be so good, really love it and driving mine everyday with joy. My car is a 2007, black on beige, bought it certified with only 3000 miles on the clock, the model I have is the rocket Lexus calls a hybrid Lol The car has a 460 badge on it, done by the previous owner don't know why. The mods I've done so far is changed the exhaust tips, window tint, and de-badged the lexus sign. Also some pictures of my other cars. Great to be here and thanks to all for contributing here for making this a source full board. And does the GS450 have a speed limiter cause mine stops around 130mph

welcome to the crew. Please put the correct badge. hen people change badges on their car its usually only to hide the fact that they have a smaller motor. Guys with the 525 BMWs would do this all of the time. Drove me nuts

Maybe the previous owner was an oil guy. Probably not great for an oil guy to go around being seen in a hybrid so he put HHS gs460 emblem instead.

Just a wild guess.

People people people... I wrote on my first post that I am a second owner and that the badge was put by the previous owner, don't take me for a poser, I am very against posing. First day I got the car I tried taking off the badge, started of with the first letter and it turned out that its been put on with super glue. Leaving an unremovable mark on the paint finish. Ordered the new badge which will need time to get in hand. The trunk has to be repainted because of the glue stain, will do that when i get the new badge. Don't know why this badging thing was done, but all i know is that the owners son bought the car as a gift for his father, but never drove it because it being a hybrid cause he's old school I guess.

The dealer in Jordan is quite different than other dealers in the middle east. Lexus and Toyota are spec'd differently and the source of supply here is straight from Japan, they dont import anything that is made outside Japan, ex. Camry made in Australia, Avalon, 4runner and ect. Hybrid is available in Jordan since day one. I believe its the only country in the Middle East that the dealer offers hybrids.
