Oh, well old enough. Its 20 years in MD. I cant get over 2005 cars with Historic plates lol.

That has Street Rod plates which are similar. 25 years old and modified. It had an exhaust etc.
Fantastic, my car is now a relic... 😮‍💨
Well, it beats walking. Lol

Dammit, I should just stop being cheap and trade up but don't feel like it right now.

Got one a couple weeks ago, and used it for the first time last weekend. It is fantastic. Every bit as good for washing the car as my monster gas unit, but 1000x quieter.

Had been waiting for it to come in stock since seeing probably some of the same YT reviews you did. Wasn't even yet on the shelf when I got to the store, but they had a dozen of them in topstock and I got an associate to climb up and grab one for me.

It is also TINY. Did not expect it to be as small as it is.

Yeah I watched some reviews and then looked and Lo and behold my Home Depot had 3, so I went and picked it up.

Lord I forgot what a boss the LS430 is on the freeway....

I have brand new Michelins on it, haven't stretched its legs in a while. Was hanging out with friends on the other side of town and I hit it on the way home. It feels pretty much just as stable and ready to go to 150 as the SL does, though it isn't as fast. Another reason I just refuse to get rid of it, it just drives too damn well and never breaks. Lonnnnnnng paid off lol.

it's called a 'super truck' there's a company that installs custom beds onto a F650/750 commercial chassis, doug is like 6'4" for comparison lol



they're ridiculous and bad driving as you might expect but there's obviously a market for it

Yeah. I went to Fayetteville for a wedding this weekend. 5 hour trip. Unfortunately it rained most of the trip, but my GS was very stable and surefooted with the new tires.

Very comfortable and (aside from some coarse pavement) quiet too, it’s the first vehicle I've had where I don’t feel fatigued or tired after spending hours in it!

These are toys unless you have a large mom in law to drive around. Haha

I played with Tonka trucks when I was a kid so no judging by me if someone wants one. Lol

Oh yeah. I routinely drive 11-12 hours back and forth several times a year. Don't ask me how I did this and sorry for TMI but I was so comfy in the LS430 I didn't even have to pee once, didn't even get out of the car once from Knoxville to Rochester. I always arrive refreshed. The LX is almossssst as good at it. Yukon is as good as LX, too. 430 is a little old now to take road trips considering what we have but I'll be damned if it doesn't just absolutely destroy any stretch of interstate. It was a great car to drive across the country to California to move out there and then again to move back to Tennessee years later.

Best comfort for me was my last trip, was up for 22 hours before getting on the road and let the car do the driving for 12 hours. Wasn't an issue and still went to dinner with everyone when we got there etc, lowest effort drive yet.
