We are going back to California for another family reunion, the trick is to rent a pickup truck (they're way cheaper) and tip them and/or use that golden rule and they'll bring you around a brand new loaded whatever lol. This time it's Lake Tahoe, and we may drive down to Los Angeles to revisit our old stomping ground too.

I rented a pickup last time just bc I wanted all the room inside, not necessarily to save money, and got that bad *** new F-150 King Ranch with 5,000 miles on it.

so they're not quite as 'smart' it seems as what's been described for the ls430, but being all software controlled and a whole screen user interface, there's lots of settings not just for oscillation but many other things.

i did see you can turn on the oscillation separately for driver and passenger.

about other things, for example, does the ls430 have 'dog' and 'camp' modes?

No dog mode. If I had a Tesla it wouldn't matter bc my tinted windows would be too dark. So I'd avoid leaving the dogs in there.

BTW no worries about that misunderstanding earlier

With all this oscillation talk, it would be both remiss of me and a dereliction of dad-joke duty not to drop the “how do you titillate an ocelot? You oscillate its **** a lot” joke. So there it is.
