Default Intro Thread: Meet Reese, my 2005 LS430

Hey guys thought I would do the proper intro. I'm a CL member of a few years, recently came from a slightly modded 2001 GS300 that had an unfortunate run-in with a F150 and a median wall at the same time. She took it like a champ and I walked away without a scratch and immediately started looking for my next Lexus. So here I am the proud new (3rd) owner of a beautiful Black Onyx 2005 LS430 Custom Luxury with Saddle Interior. The wife and her friend quickly pointed out that the color combo was similar to a peanut butter cup so we decided to call her Reese. She was originally a lease vehicle then turned into a CPO before being traded in at the end of last year, then after 4 months of sitting on a BMW lot I found her waiting for me. All Lexus service records intact with 124k on the odometer, I'm most pleased with my acquisition.
