I just bought my dream car, five years before I thought I’d be able to pull it off. 2016 LX 570.
If you look at my YouTube history, there’s countless videos of 1960 Troopy’s - Heritage LC. I’ve been obsessing over all the different models/configurations and hoping to get into this world. Hopefully I can buy more and have a collection.
Now, that I’m drinking a beer and looking at the beauty in my driveway, I need to reflect on the first 24 hours.
It pains me, but I have a few concerns. Figured from the short time of ownership, I can learn from the community how to address. I hope to own this car for the 25+ Years left in its lifetime.
1. A clicking sound from the driver side. Not sure if it’s front or back wheel. Sounds like there’s a rock stuck in the wheel. Really hoping it’s a small fix/adjustment.
2. I was driving up and over a coastal range ~1,000 ft elevation gain, at the summit, quick stop for the dog to pee and the left side again, front/rear, smelled like brakes were burning. Drove down to beach and all the way home, didn’t notice it again, so maybe just random.
3. My drivers seat feels generally uncomfortable. I’m 6’4” and 270lbs. Noticed today while driving the seat ends at my shoulder blades and the torso section of the seat is kinda short. Weird upper back pains in the shoulders. Really hoping it’s something else, as I can’t find other disgruntled with the seats.
As you can tell, I want everything to be perfect, as this car is my dream car. I’m posting as I want to find quick solutions, so I can look back at this post and laugh. I hope this is my car for several years to come.
