lol that might work, we'll have to see.
jotafl: yeah she's really excited. We're waiting for the insurance to get finished up on monday before we can take the car out and show my mom all the stuff that it does. She's excited though and loves the way it looks. She's always wanted a big luxo sedan.

As for the LS, we are probably going to wait till after this winter is over to get new wheels. I think we'll go with 19s just to have more tire between the road and the rim and have more comfort. Since the car is for my mom, she loves to have comfort over sport so we don't want the ride to get too hard for her. I think some nice 19s with wide tires will look really good on the car.
You guys can feel free to take a look at our site, we have a good working knowledge of these cars and can provide a set of wheels for you when your ready.
Enjoy the car!!

D2: I've already been on your site and actually checked off a few wheels I like. We just have to narrow it down.

lol I don't have that car, my mom and dad do. They pay for for it all. We financed the lex for I think 1,200 something a month for 60 months. We're going to pay it off and keep it for 5 or more years. That way if we want we can trade it in or sell it later and get some of that money back instead of just leasing it and not getting anything back in the end. Plus its such a great car that in 5 years it'll still be amazing to drive.
Congrats on all your businesses. I'm going to be in dental next year so I still got a lot of studying to get over.
EDIT: We also looked at the Sclass and the 7 series, but they weren't upto our taste and what my mom needed. The 7 interior was horrid for a car its cost and the ride wasn't as smooth, since my mom likes smooth rides. The Sclass was nice but expensive and the interior wasn't something we enjoyed either. We felt the steering wheel was horrible and cheap looking, the instrument cluster and nav were cheep looking on top as well and weren't flush with the rest of the dash top. It just didn't flow well. Also my mom isn't that much of a whiz at tech things so the I drive was definately out of the question and so was the S class i drive like thing. The Lex has a simple to use touchscreen which she can easily learn to use over a very short period. The LS just had everything going for it.
