So yeah, I'm new! Hello :]

I learned to drive off of an '04 RX 330, and experienced years of my parents buying and driving Lexus vehicles...observing the excellent service and experiences they had. I have now finally bought one as a college graduation present to myself without relying on mommy and daddy making car payments for me anymore (They paid for my 2007 Pontiac Torrent...and let me tell you, I was never so eager to get rid of anything so quickly in my life, the car was cursed, I swear.)

I just turned 21 in March, and bought the car in the beginning of June. I figured, it's better to start young with great cars, right? ;]

Here's some pictures of my love:

2009 ES350 Premium- Obsidian Black, Black Interior, cherry wood trim








^ We're pretty much a Lexus family, with me being the newest member. I think we have a thing for Obsidian Black too ;]
-2009 ES 350 Premium/ Obsidian Black, Black Interior, cherry wood trim (mine)
-2013 RX 350 Fully loaded Obsidian Black, Black Interior, Black wood trim (dad's)
-2004 RX 330 Obsidian Black, Tan Interior, Maple trim (mom's)

Shout outs to our previous Lexus's:
2000 RX 300 (gold and tan interior with walnut trim), 2005 ES 330 premium (silver, black interior with cherry wood trim
Gone but never forgotten!


Windows tints are being done on 9/6/2012


I really want to do something with the wheels but not make them look cheap....Possibly looking for better OEMs that would fit and look less plain. any suggestions?


Thanks!!

Welcome aboard..............My only suggestion is let your parents make your car payments because it will allow them the gift of giving....Use your own money to start saving for an early retirement...It is not how much money you earn, but how much you SAVE... ROLL TIDE

Haha, I need to grow up sometime! Trust me, I have a full-time, steady job in the marketing and sales field. I actually completed college a year sooner than I should have. While my friends have a year left to go, I finished in January and have been working ever since. No need to rely on my parents for car payments any longer! But trust me, i'm milking living at home as long as I can, no matter how much they're sick of me!

I was thinking the same thing. I had a loaner with that style when they were doing a break job on my car. I liked them a lot better.
