Why is there nobody really posting in here? We have a pretty big lexus scene in Canada but nobody seems to talk about it.

most of the "founding" members have since traded their Lexuses for something else or moved out of Canada altogether...so all you get are a bunch of lurkers.

You should've checked pre-2010 era, that was where it was at, we had meets every 2 months I think it was.

ah those were the days.

It's true. There is not much going on here. We try to have meets here in Calgary and always get a bunch of people saying they will come and are stoked about a meet cuz there is no Lexus scene here but in the end it's always the same 5 cars there. Guys just like to complain about the lack of s scene but not do anything about it

It's definitely quiet in Canada (Vancouver and Toronto excepted). These cars aren't exactly the "Fast and Furious" crowd, and most of us aren't high roller LFA types either. The dealers don't seem to be interested in anything but the wine and cheese crowd.

I don't even own my LS anymore but I'm still on this forum at least once a week.

well we just need someone to post an gathering or a spirited drive meet or something like that and I'm sure at least 4-5 cars would attend.

just need the spark to start the fire.

I hope not all CL meets will be RS meets.

You see, a few years ago, there were no PS3 and XBOX360.
People actually have a life.
They would play sports, work on cars, and socialize in civilized manner.

Now, with PS3 and XBOX360, they are busy playing MW3.

I'm actually 18 floors up but I love GT5.. My fiance 'loves' me for having an arcade in our living room.
Logitech g27's make it very fun.

Yea work has me busy but I try to check the forums during work or while taking a poop.

Sadly I'm in the same boat as you as far as accidents. I've been rear ended by careless drivers 4 times, and most recently was in a front end collision as a passenger in my own vehicle. I can' barely change a head light without the pain becoming intense!

But Get more cars ! that way you can have winter projects

Hell,

Why not have 2x
