Looks like it's time for me to start documenting the debacle.
I purchased this '97 LX450 a year ago from the original owner. A perfect example of a west-coast commuter 'cruiser - bone stock, never off road, and serviced by the Lexus dealership in Pleasanton, CA since new. While the dark green was pretty much my least favorite color, I feel pretty lucky to count myself as an 80-Series owner after so many damn years of wanting one.
My kids call it, rather unimaginatively, Greenie.
Bringing it home over Donner summit last year was not the smartest thing I've ever done. Multiple crashes that night meant I spent a couple hours sitting on the road waiting for the wreckage to be cleared and be escorted down by the plows.
