It was a good time. My brother and I were in the Ls and s550 and there is a big difference in handling. I did not want to leave and the brownies were awesome!

The GS450h was a blast to drive.

The new LS is pimp.
If I could afford it I'd tint the windows in the back and have a hot polish blonde driving me around everywhere while I was in the back seat sipping some water and watching a movie.

The S550 was interesting to drive. The more MBs I drive, the less I like them.

We got 'talked to' for pushing the new ES too much.



It was great to see everyone.

What's with the free gift at the end...is this a 'coke' tray???

Alex quit being a slacker.

I really liked the LS460L infact I would take one in a second! I would really like to have a model of one too! I thought the self parking feature was kind of cool! I think the LS460 is much improved from the all ready nice LS430.

I also drove the IS250, it handles like the way my ES300 does.
The IS350 was alot faster though.

When I was there I didn't see anyone from CL. I probably just missed you guys.

We had a great time today. Chris & I didn't find anyone at Streets. We were there till 1:45 then headed over to Arlington.

I almost got arrested by the Lexus police today, lol.

I must have been blacklisted b/c near the end of the day when I got in the S550, i got lectured by one of the guys about taking it easy (and how they've been keeping an eye on me). BUT since i had not hit a single cone all day, he admitted that he couldn't really say sheit.

The IS350 was HANDS DOWN the best car out there today.

LS460 is going to take out BMW and Mercedes once and for all - this thing is PERFECT!

GS450h was pretty neat. I LOVE the new GS interiors.

ES350 - well, let's just say that it's not too hard to do a burnout w/ the new 3.5

Oh and btw... the food rocked as well!

We were at Streets also from about 11:00-12:45 but left cause we didn't see anyone. Where were you at? We sat in the parking lot across from that game/food place on the corner. Just down from the movie theater.

I drove by but did not see anyone either. I saw a few different kinds of guys bikers/ricers but no CL. We have to set up an official meet before it gets bad(weather)

Well, since our appt was for 2pm, we got there around 1 or 1:15. It was just some poor planing by us. We def gotta meet up before the crappy weather.

btw... no pics alex. I forgot my camera at home.
