The location of the pics on page 1 look like they're from Tunerworks in Calgary, Alberta. Did you purchase it from them?

It used to be owned by the owner of Country Hills Toyota.

I would use the battery tender, it floats the battery, so it's safe to use it full time...

Awesome looking Car! I don't remember if it was on here or another car forum about wearing blue jeans on that color/type of interior, maybe you can let us know after you've had it awhile! it just seems like they said something about it & leaving some kind of residue/stain? Thanks for Sharing the Pics, who would ever thought Lexus would come up with something like this!

Thanks Johnny. Blue jeans no problem so far.

The car is mega, my friend. Two months in now I am head over heels in love. It is a wonderful, wonderful machine. I never thought a road car could be this good!

Wow! Great to hear the car keeps getting better and better for you. Do you miss anything about your McLaren MP4-12C?

Bet you hit the 9500 rpm rev limiter anytime you can sneak in one.

No, at this point I cannot say that I am missing the McLaren. The LFA is just on another level of special-ness. It is truly blowing me away.

Yes, the V10 is absolutely manic. I fear it has ruined me for anything else.

Great to hear. Hopefully, it will keep getting better and better as the engine breaks in more.

Nice car. Heard that from someone that you are actually quite the driver. Any trip to Mosport or Shannonville with the car yet? Can't wait for in car video and then some. Cheers.

Insane ride. Love it! Hope you're enjoying it!

Yes I am thanks! Actually had it out that Sunday a couple weeks ago when it was really warm. Short drive, but any dose of LFA is enough to curb the withdrawal for a while longer...

That's awesome. Really great to see the LFA owners chime in and give their experience. Gives us all hope for that someday, haha!
