Hello All! Just Joined

[carrera mike]

Hello all, just got an LCHE last weekend. So excited to join this forum, learn and hopefully contribute some day. I’m here on the East Coast, mid Atlantic area so it’s mostly flat :-(.

Anyway my first question to 200 series owners, did you get a pouch/leather bag for the manuals? All I got are the owner manuals in the glove box. Asking the dealer about it.
TIA

I got a cheap plastic folder. Pretty sure that's a dealer by dealer thing. You can pick up a black vinyl with red stitching on Amazon (and I'm sure other places).

Congrats on the truck.

BTW, I think my area is at least tied with you for flatness.

That is one shiny truck.. needs mud!

Congrats on the rig and welcome!

The black HE looks awesome! But I had to go with the white because it came with a high quality simulated leather case for the 1000 pages or so of manuals. Didn’t know I could get the same thing on Amazon for $15.95!

hahaha. Thanks. I love that Blizzard white. Just sold my 4Runner LTD in that color. Surely stands out from the crowd.

Thanks! Surely is flat all the way to the keys for you! Awesome sceneries though! Love your avatar! I share exact same sentiment here in south eastern VA

Haha it sure does need some trail dirt

For $80k they should swipe one out of one of their showroom vehicles and hand deliver it to you. Nice truck and welcome

I know, right

Well gents, the dealership mailed me exact same one as TD cruiser posted above. I thought for this price of vehicle it would have an exclusive nice leather pouch with bronze deviated stitching like the seats, and embossed with Land Cruiser wordings. oh well

Well, you're getting you're first taste of having the most humble vehicle on the planet. For all of her glory she does still share the same emblem as her Corolla cousin and to many folks you'll be treated similarly-including apparently your Toyota dealer! Shake it off.

Enjoy the understated awesomeness and the "perks" of it being "just another Toyota." Welcome to 'Mud! She's a real beauty!

Haha. True. I like its silent wealth.

These were my babies up until earlier this year. I moved out onto a farm and could not bring myself to take them down the dirt roads. And there really was not a great option for paving. I still think about getting one and just leaving it in my office parking garage.

 

[carrera mike]

........one and just leaving it in my office parking garage.

sweet! Very sexy! Same here age caught up with me. **Also live out in the farmlands now. Far from neighbors. Tired of fast and agile but needs lots of drivig attention 911s. Love them still. . LOL, had a 993, then 996 & thats the last one 997. I tracked them all. Just DE Though. anyway, not to change the topic, nice to see a fellow 911 owner

@carrera mike - there are a lot of people on this board that have both 200 series and 911. They are the best of both worlds...

+1 on the porsche obsession.. here is my former 996 turbo.. in the market for a 200 series LC for the wife, after which ill be on the hunt for a 997 turbo

 

[slowride]

YES, Yellow cars are the fastest. it's just a simple fact... sorry all you non-yellow car folks... LOL !!!


I just ordered the "Leather Owner's Portfolio" for the Cruzzer and it is feeling much better about itself now... Thanks for the heads up!!!

If these "Owner Portfolio" really come with the Cruzzer from the factory they clearly get pinched during the dealer's "professional preparation & servicing" at a very high rate.

Currently, I have a black vinyl type thing as a manual holder with dealer propaganda printed in white lettering on the outside, that isn't worthy of a used Yaris.

But I do have lots and lots of Lexus Umbrellas from all the Lexus' we have purchased - Clearly a different side of "Toyota Marketing Standards" and expectations.

Ok, the umbrellas cost you an extra $10,000 a piece, but you will be feeling better about yourself... LOL...

Peace.

That is sweet! Turbos are fastest 911s! Frustrations of a lot of production muscle cars.
