Congrats - But

Congratulations on what must be a beautiful car.

But

Did you make sure the hitch will fit on the back for the boat?

No, but I fish out of an Audi A4, and I can fit 10 foot rods inside pretty easily. Only down side is it's impossible the keep the thing clean for work.

What the hell does that have to do with the price of fish in alaska?

Woo hoo - now you can get longer rods. Toyota/Lexus makes good vehicles.

Isn't that model the same as the Camry? After a while I forget all the damn numbers and such.

Now do ya qualify as a yuppie now? My wife wants an Avalon for her next car. :P

I just purchased a new rim <vbg>. I haven't gotten new tires yet ..... but I plan to this week, or next week. I gotta get new tires for the Camry as well (dumb high speed rated tires - can't put std ones on it - all those are $120+ each). There goes my mad $.....LOL.

ES 300 is basically a 6 cylinder, loaded Camry, with one exception---anything with a Lexus name plate is made in Japan, whereas all of the Camrys are made in Kentucky.

We started makeing them in Canada or will very soon. Most Lex modles are based on Toyota with some serious upgrades in comfort. Great car hope you enjoy it.

You mean to tell us that you gave absolutely no thought into the extras such as insurance before you bought it? Now you want to "give it back"??????????????????
