Default 420 Mile Check In

I just had happen to snap a shot of 420 and also just got my ipod connector. I can't wait to stop driving like a little girl and floor it, couple more miles. Anyway here are some pics.

Did you put that upper-window-only tint on your Lexus, or is it just the picture?

Thanks, yeah The TSX goes back to Acura next week, Taking wheels off Tomorrow and hopefully ordering new ones for the Lex by the end of the week. My frend is the Service manager at Lexus so I think we are doing the dustless brake pads Thursday or Fri. I can't wait to get that out of the way. Does anyone know the exact Part number for the Dustless pads so I make sure they put the right ones on?

I know I can't wait, it's also my birthday lol. And on the flooring it part, I have never driven the IS350 so compared to my TSX it will be fast, plus I can't wait to stop babying her.

You know there is no real need to break in these motors anymore..for any manufacturer? Not only do they already test these motors before droppin' them in the chassis, but do you know how hard my techs drive these things during the PDI inspection? Esp. if it's a higher horsepowered vehicle? I drove the **** out of my IS the second I left the lot and got onto the freeway when I bought it December. I let the first three gears ring out and cruise controlled all the way home at 80. My first car I did the same and ran all the way to 150k with zero engine problems, just maintenance all the way through..to me there is no other way than to drive it like you stole it the first week..
