Literally nothing about that LC500 video is anywhere near interesting. The poor quality of the audio makes the LC sound like a midrange V6. Which for the most part it doesn’t in better ones.

Please talk me out of this guys.....there is one for $1200 near me that runs. I have a really bad tendency to do stupid stuff like this in RWD cars, the AWD ones make some refrain for the sake of my center diff most of the time

Hey guys, I really really really appreciate your concern. It means a lot, truly. I basically consider you guys friends just as if we knew each other in real life.

As much and I'd love to regale you all with every detail of the absolute worst 13 days of my life in 43 years hands down, unfortunately I think it would be wise to not go into details publicly until I am advised by proper counsel. A lawyer would tell me to not post anything on forums.

Again guys, I seriously seriously appreciate your concern. I miss my spouse, my cars, my house, my pets, just everything.

Feel free to shoot me a PM where what I say wouldn't be public.

Thanks guys and sincerely,

AJT

...because it is a v6. More specifically, one with a hybrid setup (cvt + 4spd auto), fake 10spd "shifting" and... synthetic engine notes. Remove the fake stuff and it's a very decent powertrain, but not exactly for the LC.

Tuning in a little late, AJT123, so I haven't seen much if anything about this issue until now. Sorry you had such a bad experience. Go ahead and PM me with the story if you cannot (or prefer not to) discuss it in public.
