LOL Chuck, your'e right. There's something about mileage in the 20's that seems so new still, after that it's all downhill. I'm right behind you, 27,600 right now and I'll be driving about 1,000 miles next week--sometimes sales jobs suck.

Oh well, I guess the good news is Lexus usually last a long time

Wink High Miles on Car

In the third picture my first thought was you were going to drive it into the swamp.
Tell me you're not gonna do it.

PS I like the color of your wood steering wheel

Talk about men (and women) always wanting to have a younger and younger model every year

Yeah, 30 is prime, you need to upgrade something in your 20s

How about adding 100k to that mileage, like my car

LOL. I thought the same thing. Once you turn 30k, it's all downhill. Just put her in drive, get out of the car, and let her cruise off into a peaceful, watery grave. Let's see. You've had the car for about 18 months and you've put about 8k on her. Not bad. Not bad at all. Are you going to take her in for the 30k service?

That car needs to be put down! Once they get old like that, they start losing their sense of smell and sight and can turn on their owners!

Congrats on 30k!

you mean 90K and WAY up, like up in the 200K range. Remember we are talking about a Toyota-designed and built vehicle here.
