Just love the 3/4 view with the lowered stance and spacers.

Turns out parking where I can see my car from my office is bad for productivity.

I remember those days and you’re right! 😜

We closed our offices in Fall 2021 and went remote permanently, so no more ogling my cars throughout the day. 😁

Alex and Tony, you guys keep your cars SO clean!

My car was Cloudburst Green for a couple weeks there lol. I'm doing better with washing it more often now.

lol the pollen is horrendous! It's gotten a lot better in the past weeks, and I hardly notice it now.

My car actually needs another wash. It happened to get caught in the rain last week, so it's got a few spots on it that probably don't show up on camera.

Thanks!! I’ll be honest, I’m driven weirdly by peer pressure. 😭

1. I have my Instagram account along the back window, so the car can’t be dirty if I want folks to go check it out.

2. I live in a boutique building (only 96 units) and our parking garage is filled with other luxury cars. (Some waaay more expensive!) In the midst of the Porsches, Beemers, Mercs, etc., the concierge tells people mine is one of the prettiest cars in the building.

A common comment from the neighbors: “Does your car ever get dirty?”

I mean, if someone says that, can the car ever be allowed to get dirty? 🫣 😂

I think this is one of my favorite photos of my car I've taken. Wowee.

Mine sits outside in a farming town so it is dusty in 1 day 😫

As an aside.... went to check out some "beaters" today. Most impressive was the Toyota Crown. Looks great in person. Like, 100x better than online. Best seats I've ever felt for comfort. I was happy to get home and see my IS though 😊 Not sure I can get rid of her. I may just throw some brakes and tires on her and see what happens.

Yeah…Blu is being raised as a City Mouse for sure. 🤣 Don’t get rid of your car, it’s too special. After a few hours running up and down the mountain at higher RPMs, the ride home is always serene. The car settles down to that low hum, the typical Lexus-ness is engaged, and the oil temperature goes back to normal.

Can’t beat the dual personality. 😍

I don’t think the pic is bad, the cool angle makes up for resolution deficiencies. 👍🏽
