Default Pics from a 2200 miles trip

Replaced most of the rubbers, including 3 engine mounts, 2 stabilizer bar bushings, 2 steering rack insulators, and tires (did I mention 2 belts and 3 oil seals?). I took the car for a 2K mile trip. One new thing I found was that the car provided with a more comfortable ride with the tire pressure at 29 psi (from 34 psi).

An SC300 looks very small in the HW.

I keep my tires at 34 psi. sometimes I go 36psi when im trying to stretch the gas. I will have to try 29psi so I can see what it feels like.

Nice trip, the tire pressure all depends on the tire itself. I keep mine 36-38 (Max pressure is 44) but I still have snow tires on, almost 2 years now and still like new. When did you get back? You must have missed our hurricane that went up the East Coast on Sunday. Nothing beats a nice fresh steamed Maine lobster, I miss going to Me. I used to go up every year, until I met my X-wife, and then everything changed. It's nice to take a beautiful trip like that in the LS, what did you get for MPG?

I have made only one trip to ME, in 1978, by car.. over 5k in a 78 Buick Park Avenue, Silver Blue (cowboys colors) bought it new just for the trip and traded it when I got back, just not happy with it. (never liked GM cars)

Is this why you had so many cars? I used to like GM over any other make, until I got my Lexus. Love the signs. That's how it should be, people should follow the rules.
