The Atlanta Braves's Turner Field has the Lexus lot for almost 2 years now and its across from the main entrance. Lexus also has Lexus's level at the Turner field with all the sweets, bars and restaurant on the third level just behind the home place.

Once a year, all of the Lexus dealerships around Atl will take turn and throw in a party with live band, b-b-q, cook out at the Lexus lot. All the Lexus owners that park their cars at this lot will get free food, drink, listen to the live band and some raffles before going into the game. They usually do this kind of even on Sunday game and start the cook out around 11 a.m before the afternoon game. I went there last year and I had a great time.

hahha, that's tough man, but sometimes it's true. sometimes people just choose to taunt you for no resaon

Any pics of the lot or sign?

Yes, its very true, the spot is right across the entrance, a perfect spot

When I had the hookup on corporate tickets, the corporate level was the LEXUS level, with cars inside to Lexus napkins

Also at Atlanta's premium mall, Phipps Plaza during Dec/Jan, if you had a Lexus, you could valet for free.

Well I think its a great thing. These are nice luxury perks that help seperate Tier 1 luxury companies. I am 100% positive BMW/Benz/Porsche do similar things.

Sorry, there was no pic in the magazine, just a short blurb. And I HAVE encountered times where drivers (of cheaper cars) wouldn't let me merge or turn onto the street...and I wondered was it because they saw it was a Lexus?

And, there is the ever-present fear of being keyed, ever since it happened to our 1989 S-class some years back in a public park.

I didn't know waht he was talking about...but i quickely found out. People are still nasty to me when I drive the Lex or our ML.....they don't want to let me in....but when I drive the GS, I don't worry abou tit...cuz they have trouble keeping and catching up.....so I scoot right on into whatever spot i want.
