Very cool :)

Yeah. @forrest5000 doesn't want it so I'm trying to convince my parents to let it sit in their garage and my brother and I can learn all things automotive with it. Need to buy a welder and learn how to use it. Need to buy a blast booth and powdercoating oven and learn how to fix all the trim items. Need to learn bodywork and build a paint booth in their other garage stall and learn how to spray paint.

Kind of seems like a fun undertaking.
 
When did I say I didn't want it ?
 
I am sitting here doing some paper work listening to the Today show in the back ground. They are talking about all kinds of Turkey day food tips. I keep hearing something over and over.

"Do this or that and when done just throw it all away." A bunch of different things all intended to save time on clean up. I thought that as a society we were trying to reduce the amount of trash we produce......

I hear you there - my in-laws have gone this route the last couple of years - no longer use plates/glasses for anything. They just buy plastic plates and cups and toss them all...... so weird and odd to me.
 
Most recycling centers are running on a deficit, so either the communities decide to pay for recycling operations or it all goes to landfills. Chinese metals and glass are cheaper than recycled, and it is a pure market driven pricing. In Mecklenburg county, fee increases in solid waste are added to continue recycling. I think is in the range of $0.40 per household per month. Small, but politicians fight those increases unless the people speak up and demand recycling.
 
While I love the LS430 and I plan to actually keep this one until the wheels fall off, my two complaints on it are minor. No manual.... although that was a selling point for Andrea with the traffic around here. And while 290HP/320ft/lbs is nice for what it is that is also a little under what I consider acceptable for a car of that size..... so then I found this on my lexus forums, and the gears got spinning again. But I promised my financial side that I would wait until we buy another house and the 6bt goes in the suburban.

Worlds first LSx 6sp LS430 (I think?) - Club Lexus Forums

Really though I just need to drive the LS to the tuners in LA and have them rework the lexus engine, to 400+ HP and still have it lexus smooth.
 
FU Nico, you pompous biatch!
