Looking good after its trials and tribulations. But uhhh.... you know... you gotta get rid of that stuffed string thing off the back end. It's not classy. Not Lexus. This car's about dignity and class. Wash the underside too. I do that all the time in the winter zone

It isnt classy at all lol, i hang a stuffed my little pony toy on the back of every car i drive as a rememberance to a friend of mine who died of a heroin overdose in 2012. He was a big fan of ponies. I just need to find a better place to hang it, i dont wanna scratch anything. I hit the wheelwells since i just went though salt and stuff but i need a good deep scrub on the bottom when i can get ahold of a pressure washer and jackstands at the same time, harder than it sounds hahahaha

Well one of the best ways to remember people is to just remember through pics etc. You could certainly put that pony inside the car.
Just saying that nobody will know what the significance of that hanging off your rear bumper unless you're trying to do the "rebel" thing. It's just gonna be an ole Lexus with a pony toy on a string hanging off its back end.

probably going to go through the tow hook on a shorter string or on the rear speaker tray, too much **** it can break hanging where it is. but shes clean now, thats all i care about for tonight :3

Nice photos.
You could always hang the pony off the mirror inside the car. Much better for it, in terms of weathering, etc.
I also see that you're still missing a center cap. Still considering the purchase of one? :P

Looks nice, and that poor little pony gets dirty back there, and his leash could abrade the bumper and wear off some paint. And someone that doesn't know the meaning of it could think you don't like horses. I think it would be better to have it inside too. Even riding on the cup holder or the rear shelf like someone mentioned.

Good luck, purchasing another.
The turbine wheels are the best.

Last night i tore off the timing cover and inspected the water pump, turns out the lower part of the pump by the cast in pipe was leaking. TB looked OK and was dry. Resealed the water pump from the outside with the toyota black RTV just to be safe, flushed the coolant and put red in her to get out the green and radiator stop leak, and put her back together! everything is safe and good now, gonna put off the TB until this summer/next summer with how good it looked.

I didn't like the turbines at first, but they have grown on me. Got the pony relocation kit so she's in the package shelf now
