Default I got a LS...finally!

I've always wanted an LS, and got an '06 UL with PCS on Monday, and it only had 18k miles! I was glad to get rid of my ES350 for this car. I'm a watch collector, and the term applies here...I got my grail!

Congrats on the great car.

BTW, I wear my late brother's 1970 Red Sub daily in his memory.

An 06 with 18k - very nice catch! I bet its like brand new. Black with chrome wheels and nice tint ...looking like some serious bizness.

Congrats on a sweet p/u!

I remember when I got my 430, man it was a surreal moment for me.

Great Looking LS and the miles, oh wee! Great find, as long as you do services etc. that car will last years and years at the mileage. A 2006 with 18,000 miles is crazy!!!! L.G.N.M

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I can't wait to start modding my new baby. I can't get over how quiet and smooth the ride is. One thing that I don't understand is why the LS doesn't have illuminated door sills. I have a '05 RX that has illuminated sills, but the LS doesn't?
