Yeah I bet you've never seen your car in the dirt :-p haha unfortunately I have to see mine in it. This car is so awesome! It's just so beautiful I can't get enough of it. And ya know, all the talk about it needed more power - I could see that but I'm actually really happy with it and especially the sound of it. It sounds really good! (I read in some review, can't remember where, that lexus tweaked the resonator of the '14 for a bit meatier sound) Anyways back to the power, I'd say it's just enough to be sporty, and I'm content with it. It's easy on my insurance since I'm only 21.

That is really the same car as mine. 
I noticed my FSport is a bit louder on wide open throttle than the premium. I thought it was just me but now that u mentioned it, I'm sure they did something.

Thanks guys! And yeah new cars are definitely exciting, and the fact that it's a lexus is even more so. I haven't really owned a premium brand before, other than a used bmw for a short period of time. Where I live, there aren't any premium brand dealers so it's kind of uncommon.
Since it'll be parking outside I ordered this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007IVT7E4?ie=UTF8&at=&force-full-site=1&ref_=aw_bottom_links and then I am going to tint the windows 15% all around.
Does anyone know why the windows are a funny color, I thought the dealer tinted them but then I was reading an edmunds long term review of our car and they said the same thing. http://www.edmunds.com/lexus/gs-350/2013/long-term-road-test/2013-lexus-gs-350-yellow-tinted-windows.html

This car is ****. I could look at it all day, although the rear is my least favorite. It's beautiful in pics but it makes an even more so dramatic appearance in the flesh.
Also, I completely agree with the above statement. I am so happy to be in this, it does feel right. My VW CC sucked and was kinda a strange looking little car. I stopped liking it shortly after I bought it, it was an impulse buy.

I noticed the FSport has more growl and louder at full throttle, my Premium has some growl but not this loud. I'm sure they did something different to the FSport. It gives me eargasm whenever I floor it.
