Default Finally!!!

The wait is finally over (for me at least) - I picked up my new GX last night after putting a deposit down at the end of September!

Didn't get too much time to drive it as it was late and the weather was crappy but it sure is awesome!

There is a lot of stuff to read as well - I'll have to try to find time when I'm not out driving around!

Well, you didn't have to wait too long. My deposit was made in September of 2003 and the truck was delivered at the end of February, 2004.

Congratulations on your new GX!

Congrats Mark. Are you in the Chicago area by any chance? We bought our '04 Silver Pine from Bredemann Lexus a little over a month ago. What a great vehicle.

Thanks! I'm from the southwest burbs - bought from McGrath down in Westmont - this is our first Lexus and I can totally see why they have such brand loyalty!

Thanks for the pictures. I don't recognize the all weather floor mats. Are they aftermarket?

The floormats were a free gift from the dealer - I didn't realize until I got home that they weren't Lexus branded - they still seem to fit well though - I think they are "weather tech" mats - I can't complain because they were free after all.

I may look into "Catch-All" mats at some point - had them on my Explorer and really liked them.
