I wish my car would last this long. I am a lifetime Lexus lover and this information really makes me happy.

Po' Boys. Checkout autopia.com but you can buy it from CarQuest if you have one around you.

I hope but I doubt it. I'm anxious to get my hands on the 2013 GS.

My '92 SC400 has 295k and still going! Although I rarely drive it due to the increased gas prices.

My parents Camery just hit 225K the other day. Only thing its had replaced was an alternator and brakes. My dad does all his oil changes and wants to see it go to 300k.
