Any LC 500 SoCal Owners Around July 25-26?

Hey, folks! Michael here from the front page editorial team. Question for any LC owners living in Southern California.

I'm getting a 2026 Lexus LC 500 Convertible Inspiration Series in for review July 21-28. And since it's going to be my final LC 500 press loaner, I'd love to say goodbye to my favorite Lexus with something special, possibly by meeting up with other LC 500 owners?

Would anyone be interested in going for an Angeles Crest cruise on Saturday, July 25, or Sunday, July 26? Drive up to a parking lot, take a few group photos, maybe shoot a little video? It would be great to have coupes and convertibles, stock and modified, and as many model years as possible.

Fun news, folks. To celebrate the Lexus IS's 25th birthday (and to hopefully sell more 2026 IS 350s), our favorite Toyota division is hosting a four-city road show dubbed the Lexus IS Legacy Tour (<-- hit that link for official details).

Think of it as the ultimate car show centered around the Lexus IS. An Autocross Track (with 2026 IS 350 ride-alongs).
Food trucks.
Mark Levinson & Music.
Lexus Accessories.
Japangeles merch.
Contests.
Giveaways.
And of course, 25 years of Lexus IS models.

All Lexus owners are welcome to attend. The event is FREE. However, if you own an IS, you can go to Lexusislegacytour.com and snag one of the complimentary VIP Owners' Paddock, where your car will be part of the show (and Lexus will throw in a free bag of merch.)

AND... the tour is kicking off right here in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 30th, where I'm based, so I'd love to make this an official ClubLexus MEETUP for any members who live in the area! So let me know if you're interested and if you're planning to attend and hit up --

TO REGISTER

UPDATE from Lexus just to be extra clear for anyone who might be confused.

TO ATTEND, you don't have to register. You don't need to own an IS or a Lexus at all. You can just go for fun. All four events will NOT "sell out"

FOR LEXUS IS OWNERS looking for that VIP Owner Paddock Parking, you do need to register. In those cases, the system may say "Sold Out" and suggest a "Waitlist". Lexus told me that people should definitely add themselves to the waitlist. All of those applications will be reviewed by whoever is doing such things, and they may move people around as needed. I'm not sure when they're going to let folks know.
Here are all four cities, dates, times, and locations...
