Your hilarious 7milesout.... Your last sentence was exactly what I was thinking when I read your first post.

You know when I was still taken in by this, my first thought was RF was going to ballistic on this thread. Fortunately we have a profanity filter!

This is a great spot on the Internet. Really cool people with a Lexus fetish. Well except the guy who now drives an 04 BMW. :-).

Seriously you are all great peeps. Good stuff.

It's true. I said it cost me over $19, because it cost me $20! $10 per (front) rotor. Smooth as butter now.

So I traded it in on a well used 2004 BMW 745Li. I traded it in for the increased reliability of the BMW heritage. That plus the sound system in the BMW was WAY better than the Mark Levinson.

The BMW dealer that had this used gem was certainly proud of this thing. I couldn't negotiate them down much. And I'll be honest, I lost my **** on the LS. It was like the salesman explained, it was the lack of quality of the LS is why the trade-in value is so low.

I also have the added benefit of iDrive and the much more user-friendly Navigation system.


See you on the dark side SUCKAS!!!
