Talking Noob Checkin' In

New member, 1st Thread, 1st Post*, 1st Lexus.

On March 7th in San Antonio, Tx I took ownership of a New 2009 Lexus IS250 in Matador Red Mica.




My old VeeDub was pretty upset at me... Didnt even see me drive off..


Car had 39 miles on the clock.


I stayed in Austin, Tx for a week before heading back home to Oceanside,Ca. I woke up at zero dark thirty and applied the ol' blue tape for the road....







Hit the road and say Goodbye to Texas.. Miss home already...



I am back in SoCal now and am loving the car.. So far I have seen 2 twins but driven by an older man and one young chic on base.. Hmm...

Thanks for stopping by... Flame suit on..


*I posted this thread earlier but not sure what happened to it?
