I'm scheduled to pick mine up on Mon Dec 22! I've got a UHaul car trailer reserved and I'm planning on stopping into Next Level Auto in NJ to have exhaust and LCA bushings installed on the way back to VA.

^^ Whatever you do, please make sure you secure your UE nicely and tightly on the trailer!! I would hate to see anything go wrong on your way home while it is being towed!

Hello ALL,

This is my first post as a first-time Lexus owner (I have had 11 Toyotas) and brand new IS500 UE owner since 11/30/25!! I have #232/500 coming from Medina (Akron), OH!!

Loving this car, but the recent heavy snow with summer tires, not-so-much!

^^ LOL - Yeah, I agree, us Canadian deserve an award for having to deal with our harsh winters!! I assume you are from the West?

BigDirtyUnko - Your UE must be arriving soon, any updates from the dealer?

Obviously, still wrapped in the shipping tape and I hope the salt in the lot doesn't give wthrman2 a heart attack!

I know there is a UE photo thread but thought I would drop some here. I had to swap spots and move the 500 in my house garage and place the Trax in the detached one that has the drain to catch the melting snow. Crazy how this car changes color based on light and angle. Almost like 3 cars in 1!

Looks sensational. Fantastic looking car. Now, I gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed. I would have thought your driveway would be spotless, but I see some wet patches here and there. You're getting sloppy.
