Dang, sorry buddy, about the flat tire.

I'm so sorry everyone that I couldn't make it. I stopped in Bakersfield to get gas and couldn't get the hybrid system booted up again.

It wasn't the 12v auxiliary battery, it wasn't the key fob, it wasn't the air suspension.

For some reason, my car wasn't detecting that I was pressing down the brake pedal and would not boot up in READY mode.

What a nightmare. I disconnected everything and still couldn't get the car booted up. Lexus wanted to tow my car to Lexus of Bakersfield, but since that city is so conservative and religious, nothing was open, not even a rental car place. No cab driver was willing to bring me home either. I decided to just have them tow back to my local Lexus dealership. I just didn't feel comfortable leaving a modded car in Bakersfield. I know nothing about their techs there. And it was 150 miles away from home too. AAA ended up charging me $6 per mile, but we finally got it home after 150 miles. Hopefully we can get this fixed soon. UGH. I had to leave the vehicle in front of the service dept. outside the gates since they were closed today too. I hope no one steals my car...
