i agree. it's seriously been one of the nicest all-around cars i have ever owned. i'm not into regretful decisions.

Sorry guys. Hate to inform you, but i Sold my baby today. I just simply didn't have a need for 3 vehicles anymore, but she went to a good home.
Who know's, maybe she will pop back up in this forum again one day.
She was such a wonderful platform, i may even get another one in the future down the road.

Thanks for all the comments, tips and comradery at ClubLexus!

Godspeed,
Sevenevez
