Default What a vehicle

Went to a remote part of the island last Monday to see some property. Darn I wash I had my camera. I wasn't gonna take the LEX but was kinda forced into it cuz of the 8 seat capability. Everyone wanted to go and they though it would be cool to go together. I remember the road being paved to a good portion of the site so I didn't think 2wice. When we got there, one "passenger" who knew the area very well asked if we could go further. The road was not paved but not too rough so I proceeded. Well, that where it gets interesting. The "passenger" that made the suggestion failed to mention how steep and rough the terrain gets. Well, half way into the trek, I thought, what the %#@* am I doing taking this Lex off road. I know it is a very capable vehicle but not with HREs and 5 DVD monitors etc. etc. Well it turned out really fun and I even used the DAC to get down a hill that had some gravel. I tested all the off road features and am very very impressed with this truck. Maybe next time, I'll put the EOM tires on and have even more fun. I was apprehensive cuz I didn't want to trash the HREs. My 1-1/2 year old son was with us in his car seat. It was a BLAST!

Thats why we buy SUVs! Way to have some fun!

I want to deliberately take mine for some light off-roading to have some fun. I just don't want to messy it up.

This car reminds me of James Bond, Capable of any feat, yet perfectly refined.

Now where's my vodka martini, shaken not stirred?
