...it was a loaner car and i told him to go do this. And he knows he didnt live up to my standards. So he is going to get his front brakes done now to get another loaner RX and go do a serious offroad trail....RIGHT VAL? I Know you want to.

well if you did it for the decals, maybe ill send you a C of the ClubLexus of the first decal. if you want the LUB LEXUS and the other CLUBLEXUS you will need to take the RX offroad seriously. I know the LX can do it, i want to see the RX do it.

I've often wondered just how seriosly offroad you could get in an RX and still make it back under your own power...

Technically it is off road.

I used to take my RX300 up the Nevado de Toluca (a drive in extinct volcano about 15,000 feet in height) just to the west of Mexico City, but stopped after popping one of my shocks (made a terrible racket).
