I washed it after six weeks of it being dirty. I also got one of my Work wheels fixed. It got bent last month so I haven't drove it much or washed it since then.

More like what it did for me today, got me home in a monsoon! Wipers were great, zero noise on downstroke. I managed to tuck the umbrella in under my thighs on floor rather that drag it across the interior, not bad!

Took it into the exhaust repair shop. Need to get those leaks fixed to clear the check engine codes.

I washed her in the automatic wash again cuz I got that monthly....I'm still leery, but tons of nice cars are going through, nicer than mine, one was a SC430.....

She has a big day coming up, gonna get the timing belt done. I've already put 5k+ on this car, so feeling pretty confident she's gonna last.....imho problems should surface pretty quickly on used cars.....esp. given it's been to Lexus, Toyota, and an indie. I would say Lexus misses defects the most, as they are only concerned with big ticket jobs. Toyota almost as bad. Life, it's business. The indie is the only one who would suggest a sub $50 job....multipoint this!

Smile On my 2001 LS430

Replaced all break pads and disks (they were in bad shape when I got the car and I've only just been able to change them... I think the pad sensors are messed up). I also recently had to replace the whole radio (I have the ML) and I had a Grom bluetooth system put in.

Sounds perfect. Works wonderfully. Absolutely zero complaints (so far).

Started shopping for wheels for the summer tires. I don't want to spend a ton, but need to get something decent before the end of March.
