Default The new whip...

Long time member, first time poster,,, here that is.

Picked it up yesterday, 43 miles on the clock now.

Had to do a little paint correction today to the hood since the dealer sent it out with these tiny specs all over the hood, almost like sap, I couldn't scrap it off with a fingernail. I went to wax it today and discovered them. So about 2 hrs and 4k rpms and 3M perfect it, took care of it. I would have take it back and let the dealer do it, but I already had my wheel out. Then sealed the paint.

I went back and forth between a more sporty car and looked hard at the Expedition Platinum. Kept coming back to the Lex and I loved the color. Its practical and comfortable and should work well for my 70 mi R/T commute and having owned 2 Lexus's including my 2005 GX with 195k miles I know it will be very reliable. I also wanted to get the '19 before the refresh of the grill in 2020 which I dont care for at all.

Sharp looking whip right there! When you get a chance do you have any pics of it in full sun. I'm really liking that color but have not seen it in all the different lighting.

@cssnms if you get a chance to take some extra pictures please post them. I'm really eager to see that color in full sun and in the evening.
