Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but that sounds amazing.

Which model do you have?

LFA!? No wonder!

Now sold out, however...

Why didn't he follow through?

if by sold out you mean allocated to dealerships. there are still handful of unused unregistered untitled lfa around, and of course used ones too.

i will let him chime in though about his purchase

It was a real invite

They were doing interview dinners to discuss the brand with influence kinds of folks.

I am surprised a video of one of these events has never surfaced.

No LFA at this point for me. I keep watching the market but folks seem to keep dreaming that they can get list or near to it for a unit that has been sitting for 2 plus years. I believe the crazy green one originally delivered in FL traded in and out of Marshall Goldman's again (It had supposedly sold the first time by Goldman to a guy who who just park it forever). At this point I figure I will get a new NSX when they come out.

My deal unravelled when I my wife heard a guy ripping up Chicago in his Murcialago and she freaked out about having a car that loud.

I also began the question the load of BS Lexus was serving up about the car, and demand. A huge proportion of the cars went to dealers though Lexus swore up and down that they would just go to real customers. The car still is my favorite thing out there and I hope to find one some day with a scraped front bumper and a good price (In Chicago, that front bumper doesn't stand a chance).

Also a member of LAB, but I was initially invited only due to LFA ownership. I did mark down the 'entrepreneur / business owner' occupation when asked, though.

I got the email and then started wondering if it was legitimate. I tend to distrust stuff that I receive via email. I decided to check here and see who's followed through with it.

My name is ThomasT from Austin, Texas. I finally joined the Lexus ABT in 02/2020. My background as an Engineer in Semiconductor & High Tech with degrees in Electrical Engineering + Computer Science and started my career in Austin, Texas since 1989. I was head of Design Engineering Group and I was working with many auto industries around the Global but my choosing DNA is Lexus Brand and many Lexus auto owner since 1990 from GS, LS, LX. I joined because i have passion and understand the needs from customers and auto manufactures and perhaps one day i can make contribution to Lexus just straight from my opinion and not tie too any affiliate that i work for.. just a hobby..
