Default Lexus LF-A Invitation

So I came home today with a fed-ex package on my table, that was 2 day'ed from Toyota. Opened it up and it was invitation from Lexus, so I snapped some shots of how it came in the mail... Here they are.. Only reason why I would snap pictures of this invitation was because of how it looked.







Dang.. I didn't think it was gonna be this cool, but to be on the reserve list for a 375k car, it better be nice. HAHA.

HAHA, yeah kinda. I think they liked the fact that I put 52k on my ISF in one year. HAHA. And the Lamborghini, I am getting rid of to make space for something faster. HAHA. But they did ask about cars I have owned.

HAHA. It's nice, but also a nice price tag.. 375k at least? HAHA. I am definately considering it though, but at that price range, we are talking Lamborghini Super Veloce too... So yeah..

Ha,Ha... Nice. I weighed all my options for other cars and I just can't see the LFA losing out. Not only will it have the exclusivity , but it is a technological marvel. I don't mind the price tag, even though it is more than what I thought it would be. Anyway, looks like you have a few things to think about.

Nice line up you have. I guess the recession isn't hurting your business, what do you do for a living?
An LFA is just a figment of my imagination.

Haha, honestly, they were very vague when they were interviewing me. But the one thing they kept saying was "Will you represent the Lexus brand?". Maybe the amount I travel helped? haha. I really thing what sealed it was the 52k in one year on the ISF. HAHA

Yesss I do. I could see how the LFA is a one time thing. Well, I am definately really thinking about it.

Thanks for the kind compliments. Recession actually boosted business, so business actually has been very good in the last 4-5 months. I deal with the marketing of a company in the health industry.

I also received an invitation for the event. I go to business school and I own an IS-F. I can't wait to go and check out the LFA.
