Thanks Kendt,

quote of the day from the link:
Also, I'd like to encourage slapping the shit out of your son if you see him wear his sister's jeans to school... at least take him out into the back yard and throw baseballs at him until he turns into a man.

Acura may be taking the opposite approach to Lexus. I saw part of an ad that used words like frugal in these times or something like that.

Steve I've always kinda thought that about Lexus. Unfortunately, that's part of the appeal for many. The whole exclusivity thing I guess... Now to milk it so obviously, well that's not cool.

Besides, a top of the line Avalon can't be that much of a downgrade from an ES. The new 'yotas are really comfy these days now that they figured out a way to keep them on the road.

I mean seriously, a car as a surprise Christmas gift to your significant other? It can't be that great of a surprise if you can just write a check for it and be done with it! Oh, someday. :roll:

However, I'm actually looking forward to the IS-F to becoming semi-affordable in a few years and it ain't going to be so I can get to my tee-time at the Raleigh Country Club.

Along with BMW, Lexus is one of the top ten most desireable brands for guys.

What I think is actually way cooler, is the fact that Hyundai made the list. I guess the Genesis line is actually doing wonders. I know I'd like to do a few fun runs in the coupe.

Note that the biggest portion of the increase was under Republicans.

Actually the vast majority, essentially all, of this increase reported by the USA Today article (and using data from the US Office of Personnel Management) happened after the Democrats took over the Congress in 2006 and continued strongly since Obama took office.

Why make this political? Both parties are a total disaster. The system is long broken with masses in both "parties" milking the Fed gov't for all they can get.

Private sector salary growth has been anemic to down over the same time period.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, since 2000 federal pay and benefits have increased 3% above the rate of inflation compared with 0.8% for private sector workers. Compound than 2.8% per year difference over 10 years...

A few things have outgrown everything by a huge margin since the economic peak in 2007: federal worker salaries, health care premiums, college tuition to name a few.

I becomes political when someone blames one party for all the ills of the world and then resorts to name calling when the truth is that both parties have only the interests of the rich people and companies who pay them for support. As much as they all claim to be for the "American People" the only people that benefit are the lobbyists and donors. This is the same under Obama as it was under Bush, as it was under Clinton, as it was under Bush as it was under ......

Can we just get back to bashing Lexus? Here's how I figure it. Toyota owners have convinced themselves that they're smart to drive reliable but usually pretty boring appliances... I mean.. cars. Now that they're grown up or grown old and want something with more luxury and cachet than a Toyota, so they buy a Lexus. Kinda like trading up from a Ford to a Lincoln, or from a Chevy to a Buick to a Caddy.... back when people weren't so smart

and to quote Cline .. "Prius drivers are such tools" . i was on I40 this week to witness a Prius wedge itself in front of the Caddy that was in front of me doing 75+mph in the far left lane.

after we all checked up (nice use of a NASCRAP term dontcha think?) i flipped the douchebag off as i spewed V8 residue into his air vents. :lol:

My recent Prius rant.

Having one flash and honk at me for 5 miles because I would go over 55 MPH on a 45 MPH road and with 10+ cars in front of us. He even tried to pass me in the bus lane, only to find a ...wait for it...a bus there?

All of this started when he couldn't use the ending turn lane to get around the 10 of us at a light and nobody let him in after he tried it.

Sometimes have a smelly big diesel is a good thing.
