i'm jealous that you got to drive it on big open texas freeways lol... the LS really comes into its element in the 2nd half of the speedometer
flashlight yes, pen I'm not sure, is it supposed to be in the tool kit? Has the original owners manuals etc

The pen is in the owner's manual case. I missed it the first time I looked inside.

thought the og here would approve of the original lexus med kit and the original tool kit with all the tools too haha
UGH THAT IS SO CLEAN. Think at some point I'll have to add a UCF20 to the fleet as well.

shes not perfect but this summer I'll do a full detail and ceramic coat which will be a big difference. Theres some sections of the clear that need a little love, but in comparisons to the ones I see up for sale shes def in amazing shape!
