Default Still a joy to drive

I've had my LS430 almost 2 years now, and it still makes me smile every time in get in the car. Sure its not very sporty at all, but coming from my other car and previous ones with very hard sport suspension, its so nice just cruising in it. I'm always browsing other cars and thinking of what other car I could add to the LS but there really isn't anything else I would need. Granted the exterior on it isn't the most modern but I don't even care. Every time I have people in the car they are amazed at how comfortable it is. It really is one of the best and favorite car purchases I've made. Anyone else still ecstatic with their ride? Overall it has been trouble free. I have the UL chrome rims I've always lost pressure on the wheels due to chrome peel. I was going to get replacement wheels(stock) but opted to have them fixed, so I should have that addressed today. I thought about going with some nice aftermarket rims, but honestly I'm content with keeping it mostly stock, even after modifying any car I've ever bought. The 90k service needs to be done too, but the car has been rock solid.

I'm at a year and a half on mine. Such great cars! I'm only driving 6k miles per year so it should stay low mileage when I sell it. Just took care of the 120k service a little early. Feels good to drive a car this nice when it's all caught up on maintenance.

Without beating the proverbial horse here, I'm on a year and 3 months with my LS, and it's been fantastic. I've been commuting between Milwaukee and O'Hare airport for the last 4 months, and I really love driving this car on the freeway. It's so choice.... (Bueller reference, fyi...)
