Default Boring!!!

I just realized last night how boring it is driving an LS 400. I had nothing to do so I drove from Youngstown, Oh to Akron, Oh, about 45 minutes apart, cause there was nothing to do so I decided to take a long ride. Well it was about 2 am when I arrived in Akron and I just rode around for awhile. Well on my way back I realized the ride is so smooth and quiet was that it reminded me of my living room to where I got so comfy to were I started yawing and getting sleepy. Well after arriving home I'm thinking Im bout to go right to sleep, nope just the opposite happened I felt reenergized. I'm not complaining it's just to show how relaxing these cars can be. How many of you does this happen to.

Hahaha...
I used to do that when I was 16.
Now I have realized gas and car's wearing is a big part of the bill.

Talking about last night, I accidentally watched 20 min of the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning" in PPV... I was dead tired from work and I knew my brain could not take it... so I chicken out but I think I made the right decision.

Good to know you had fun!

Sublime eh? Take it your from Cali? Pretty good music.

IF I'm ever tired, I blast my music and crack a couple windows. The stock sound system shouldn't have a problem putting you to sleep. All the aftermarket just makes it better.

The stiffer suspension is starting to have it's way with the car. My dash now creaks when I go over a bump. Add to that the rattling sunroof shade and a visor clip which doesn't want to hold the visor firmly in place.

The visor clip can be fixed but I'd have to tear into the dash to re-torque all the fasteners back there. More likely I'd have many more rattles and creaking after that. Adding in more...the upper and lower control arm bushings on mine I think are in need to replacement...more clunks.

Boring...no, irritating yes.
