Hello everyone
I'm introducing myself to your forum. I just got myself a 2006 LS430 w/modern pkg. So far with two days of ownership I can tell this is probably the best car I've ever driven and that says plenty. So far this is my 3rd Lexus. My two previous Lexus cars where a IS300 and a RX330. I've always liked owning cars in the Toyota family. My very first vehicle was a good old 22RE powered 89' pickup truck. It's still in the family to this day over 17 years later. Other cars I've had in my possession include a S2000, C32 AMG, S4, 330i, Jaguar S Type R, 590rwhp 97 MKIV, Acura TL, and Integra GS-R. I guess you can say I'm a car nut. I hope to be a valuable member of this forum and glad to be here.
