Default Newbie to Lexus!

Hi Guys,
I might be picking up a 2016 RX 350 soon for family duties. Will be trading in a problematic BMW X3 and i currently have a Audi S4 and a beater Honda with 276K miles on it. My prior cars to these were Mitsubishi Evo VIII, IX, and X all with some minor power modifications done to them by Road Race Engineering (RRE). Looking forward to meeting some of you in the future!

I can't imagine too many people bringing RX's or any SUV in fact to the meets. LOL

New RX's are really nice, looks much more chiseled and muscular. Be careful with not parking far enough in and the garage scratching the rear bumper. Happened once to me and it looks like it could happen to you too!

I'm in my User CP and i see a bunch of Edits, but nothing with signatures. Do they limit signatures for Newbies like me until i hit a certain post count?

For parking in the garage, most of the people I know, use the string on a tennisball method. It's easier, and simpler. You just park the car in the garage where it fits, then run a string from the ceiling tied to a tennis ball. This ball will be touching your A pillar when you park. So when you drive into the garage, you just aim for the ball and the A pillar.
