Default so apparently I don't actually drive a Lexus.

stopped to get my morning coffee this a.m. as a I do every morning.


some older "gentleman" walked up it to me as I was leaving and told me that I should remove the Lexus badges from my car because it's embarrassing.





According to this person Lexus doesn't make a 2 door and hasn't since 2008 and while he doesn't know what my car is, he thinks I am embarrassing myself by putting Lexus logos and badges all over it.

yeah the OEM stuff is enough for me, actually it's too much.


Front and Rear Emblems
Wheel Center Caps
Steering Wheel
Clock
Trackpad




even the windows are etched with the name Lexus,


the name Lexus or the L logo is so present on this vehicle (the DRL's and Tail Lights look like the L logo as well) that anyone thinking it is anything but a Lexus is delusional.


and that's not counting the "F" logos all over the car.


personally I hate badges and emblems but there aren't any that can be easily removed or replaced on this car.

I would venture to guess late 50s early 60s..


He was driving a new MBZ S550 still had the dealer paper plates on it.

Stupidity in society today never ceases to amaze me. Why do people feel the need to make comments on something they have no knowledge of, or give their opinion when no one even asked for it.

If you really wanted to get technical with him, 2010 was the last year of the SC430 not 2008.

yeah I know.






he was back today, watched him from inside the coffee shop, he was walking around my car and shaking his head.


I decided to pop the panic button and set off the horn and give him a little jolt when he got too close.


while it worked I was very unimpressed with the horn on this car..


I need to replace it it's very weak and a little embarrassing.

it's hard to win an argument with a smart person but it's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person!
