Default GVRD - do we have a lexus code?

I was just reading a thread from WA state ... in that thread they were talking about how Lexus drivers don't seem to let other Lexus drivers in.

The quesiton is: do you let other Lexus drivers in when you're in traffic? (this does not include when you are umm *ahem* driving 'spiritedly')

My answer: Generally yes, unless the driver has previously demonstrated some stupidity or all around bad driving near me.

I definitely let in other Lexus drivers, especially if they're driving a SC. Like Faymester, the exception is if they've been driving like idiots. I use the same 2x high beam code.

I usually let other drivers merge in ahead of me, be they Lexus drivers or not.
I think it's important that we represent the Lexus brand well by showing some courtesy and class while on the road.
Of course, if the guy is trying to butt into traffic instead of waiting his turn to merge, then I usually ride the rear bumper of the car ahead of me so he can't squeeze in and I give him the universally recognized one-finger code.... (j/k)

I usually let other Lexus drivers in unless their cars are modified poorly (ie: 15" chrome rims on an SC) or are beige in color. Hehe...j/k.

i don't think you can physically fit a 15" rim on an SC... brakes are too big...

i've seen some ugly ugly ugly 18" chromes on a black SC... *cringe*
