Default Goodbye Tahoe, Hello Lexus

Nice ride, Dan. Congrats. Careful though, it’ll be pretty easy to speed in the Lexus.

Stephen.......Lexus calls that color Atomic Silver. I think it provides a nice contrast to the wheels.

Gentlemen all.......Appreciate the kind words and congratulations. I am so pleased I was able to find this vehicle, especially with such low miles and so well taken care of by the original owner. I avoided the new car depreciation and still feel like I am driving a brand new car. I haven't found anything on it that causes a second look. Under the hood the engine and all ancillary components are spotless. The interior looks the same way, no scuffs or scratches to be found. It still had the clear protective plastic over the stainless Lexus door sills. The red leather seats and door trim are perfect.

I spent some time this morning installing and hard wiring the Uniden R3 radar detector into the Lexus. I have to wait on a new cable to arrive from Blackvue before I can install the Blackvue DR900S-2CH front and rear 4K dash cams, but I am making progress.

Here is a YouTube video review of the 2017 Lexus IS350 F Sport. I thought it cool the review car is the same exterior color as mine.
