racecar

 

 

100% agree the LC is the freshest, hottest looking car on the road today. And really rare, even 6 months after launch. I have 2 dealers in my town, and to this day I've only seen one (red/tan) on the road. But looks are subjective, so totally understand it's not to everyone's liking.

But I'm not sure it's an every day car, at least for someone like me that has to park in a normal office parking lot. The doors are too big and I can't get out of the car unless I take up two spaces! Felt the same way about the i8.

 

Nice

 

You might want to park far away or in an end space anyway, and take up 2 spaces - to avoid door dents. At least that's what I do.

Here's a tip for easier entry/egress... Since the LC doesn't have auto-retract on the driver's seat (when turning the car off)... set the forward-most memory seat button to your driving position, and the rear-most memory seat button so the seat is in the most-rear position. Then just use the rear button to get in and out. You can even raise the seat height too if that helps. This works well unless you're so tall that you're seat is already all the way back. I find it a heck of a lot easier to get in and out when the seat is all the way back.

 

if you park in two spaces...you're a d*ck. No excuses.

 

I agree, if parking somewhere that parking spaces are a premium. The places I park this car are so far away from where I'm visiting that there are always hundred of empty spaces, so it never inconveniences anyone. I simply don't take this car anywhere where parking is that crowded. The logical question would be: "Then why bother taking two spaces if you're that far away?" Believe it or not, with a previous car, I've had curious kids park right next to me (far away, no other cars anywhere close-by), leaving me with an unfortunate door dent. The nice thing is, most of the places I frequent have cars way nicer than my LC - doing the same thing. So I don't feel so bad. Most typically though, I look for the extra-wide end spots.

Related story... My work buddy bought a new top-of-the-line Challenger, and parked at his fitness club way at the end of the lot where no one parks (in one space). When he came out there was an old rustbucket parked right next to him and sure enough dented his door. It turns out it belonged to an older woman that worked at the WalMart in the adjacent lot. She was told employees couldn't park close to the entrance, so she figured this was where employees park!

I'm just saying... do what you can to protect your interest, but certainly try to to that without being a d*ck.

 

I don't know why, but my car, an ISF, draws other cars like a magnet when I park Don't know why, I try to park in the "north 40" with no one around, but when I return, it's usually like a swarm of flies Don't have that problem with my truck.

I am a magnet for large trucks, parked badly! Nowadays, I drive around and find a high-end car, and then park next to it.....hoping that they might be as careful as I am about opening doors.

 

Getting back to the topic of this thread...

New here. Just picked up this 2018 LC500 in Ultra White with performance package. Currently have powder coated 21" forged LC500 wheels in gloss black, matte carbon fiber wrap, Boost Logic intakes.

 

Awesome welcome!

Have you noticed a difference with the Boost Logic intakes? Did you install them, or did you get the vehicle like that?

Good stuff man!

 

Yes. It's in the mid and top end of the RPM band. I installed them myself. Installation wasn't bad and Boost Logic was able to explain to me where to recycle the vacuum line and remount the bracket. For the money it's a great immediate mod that will increase a little power.

 

Cool man. Do you notice any induction noise out of the intakes (slight whistling sound that most intakes make)?

Thanks !
