LOL, you're a trip. Thats absurd BTW. You do hear some ticking from the DI when outside the car, and the idle on the 460 is a little louder because of the timing chain vs belt, but its nothing that can be heard inside another vehicle from two lanes away, especially a quiet LS430. I can't even hear these things inside the LS460 when its idling.

Northerners are more guarded and reserved in public vs Southerns in general. Overall it's nice though. New job is going good so I can't complain. Need to find a good independent shop my area. If anyone knows one let me know.
I'll ask my brother in law about a shop referral, I think they have one they use.

Long live the UZ. I wonder if the UR had that kind of R&D budget. It seems to appear not.
Bob04 (hope he sees this) hated how loud the 4.6 was, that it clattered and ticked. Well, I was in Beverly Hills the other day and a 460 passed by me (slowly), and I heard it, from 2 lanes away!! tick tick tick tick......

Absolutely love my 430. Not one single regret going back.

Neither of my LS430's burn oil. One has 245,000 miles and the other has 116,000 miles.
However my SC300 burns oil. I've got a few seals that are leaking and it burns a little bit of oil.

yes indeed, my 08 Sienna has this issue exactly. Doesn't bother me a bit though, and doesn't burn any oil either. Apparently the piston design is such that you get slight slap when cold, and the clearances close when fully warmed up.
