Chicago suburbs
- Occupation:
i actually have three.. I’m a fairly busy person-
1. Director of Project Management for a corporate real estate firm specializing in lease administration products and services
2. Task force officer for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
3. Managing principal consultant and owner of a media consulting company
- Hobbies/Special Interests:
Motorcycles, cooking, fitness, philosophy, video production
- How I Ended Up With My CL Username:
It wouldn’t allow me to use “tofuproductions” as my username, which is what I have as my username on all the other forums I am a part of, so I just simply shortened it.
- Year and LS Model I own (want):
I currently own a 2013 LS 460 AWD
- The Moment I Knew I Just Had To Have An LS:
I did not “have” to have it. This would be the tenth car I’ve owned (not including motorcycles) ranging from sports cars to coupes to hybrids. It wasn’t necessarily an impulse buy, but I never had a full on luxury car, much less a sedan in that aspect (did not consider my single turbo IS300 to be luxury).
- Favorite Factory (OEM) Feature and Why:
The driver memory setting. Makes me smile how it all moves into place when I enter the vehicle.
- Least Favorite OEM Feature and Why:
I would say probably the fact the reverse camera; when in reverse the lines don’t move with the steering wheel to aid in parking. Not a huge deal for me since I still mainly use my mirrors by habit.
- If I Could Have One Aftermarket Mod Right Now, It Would Be:
20” Ace Alloy Convex wheels. But not wanting to deal with the TPMS headache and possible sacrifice in Ride quality.
- What I Love About My LS The Most:
mentioned above
How comfortable it is to sit in
- What I Hate About My LS The Most:
The fuel economy, but this was to be expected and I knew about it before purchasing the vehicle
- The One Thing That Most People Don't Know About Me Is..:
I truly enjoy the simple things in life.
