I have an eye for the unusual, but yeah, I have to blow leaves out of my garage every week because my beautiful wife ;/ leaves the garage door open during the day.... " what's the big deal?" She says.... Argh...

Bought 2004 LS Premium with 59k miles 2 weeks ago. Now 59.5k miles but found the oil leak (differential pinion seal) which will be repaired Monday at the dealership (about $500). Brake fluid flushed ($125) last week at the dealership. Plan to drain and fill coolant this week myself (3 gallons, $60+free labor) Will need to have transmission fluid changed in 2 weeks. Another major item is TB/WP, which should have done at least 4 years ago but with this low mileage hope she can survive until I get it serviced sometime next year.

My father in law just gave us his old 2003 LS430 base with 154K when he bought a LS460 this week. The car despite never being babied still drives like it's new. It's a true testament to the quality built into these cars. It has the usual problems - leaking valve gasket on the driver's side, the tilt/telescope doesn't work, multiple blown speakers (not Mark Levinson), a few blown fuses, and a few parking lot wounds. I am working to correct these issues.

My wife fills the garage with "can't possibly live with out it" stuff which then collects dust. I actually cleaned it all it out 10 years ago. Kept the car garaged to 1) protect and car and 2) limit storage space. Need to do it again.

'04 135k. Only issues in entire 14 years have been front control arm bushings, valve cover gaskets, and driver door lock actuator.
Still drives like day one.

Just found this 2001 on copart.com;

It's listed with a "Mechanical" fault, which could be almost anything..

I know it's not a big deal but I'm within 200 miles of 100k, and I wanted to take pics of the odometer....not sure why, I think my parents did that when I was small, like 1st grade? And I have to go out of town Wednesday through Friday, paranoid my wife will hit the 100k and I won't be there lol
